John Archie MacEachern, last one on Gusset Road, 1955 [Where does he fit above? He could not actually be John Archie MacPherson, great-great grandson of John MacEachern the pioneer?] More probably he could be 5th generation (if John the pioneer is counted as first); John the Pioneer would be his great-great-great grandfather. He could therefore be one of the children of this generation not named in Rankin’s genealogy.
MacEachern brothers from Arisaig, Scotland, settled in Pleasant Valley according to Rev. MacGillivray (MacLean, et al., 114). Rankin (271), mentions MacEacherns at “Pleasant Valley or Maple Ridge”), he contrast these to the Gussets (above)
