Big Lauchy MacIsaac (Lauchy Mor in MacLean, et al., 113) (Eigg Mountain Settlement History)

 

Big Lauchie settled on Eigg Mountain around 1823 with his brother Malcolm, but later moved to this site on Maple Ridge.  Kenton Teasdale says that Big Lauchie’s land here was 500 acres.  However it is not clear whether the deed was transferred from the original grantee William Worthy.  Big Lauchie’s son Angus, born in Eigg (therefore before 1818) inherited his land. His daughter [no name given] was born on the passage to Nova Scotia.  She married Edward Connors (from whom the road presumably takes its name) who lived at the site in 1890-92.[1]
