Family:Robert Livingstone and Margaret Niven (1)

_ORDER: 0

Robert & Margaret may have lived in Montreal, Quebec. Canada for a time. They were said later to live in or near Moosejaw, Saskatchewan, Canada.

ref Betty Ruth ERWIN (interviewed 15 May 1984): Betty went to Lindsay, Ontario. When Betty was at old woolen mill in Lanark, Ontario, she met a man in a white linen suit who had grown up in Lanark. It was a hot June day. He mentioned that he was writing an article about LIVINGSTONEs. Betty told him she didn't think David LIVINGSTONE ever came to Canada, but that Robert was a cousin of David's. The CATHROs had a book signed and sent by David LIVINGSTONE from Africa but when they moved from Ontario to Saskatchewan, the book was lost. They do have a sword and some candlesticks and one of Janet's children was a museum curator, somewhere in Canada. The woolen mill is being converted into a neneer factory and it and the cemetery (the one with the iron fence or gate and horses grazing in it) and the cave where the goose berries grow are all in Lanark within a mile or so of each other. There were still shreds of wool hanging from the rafters where the belts were stored in the mill in 1961 when Betty was there.
