George Calder left Grange, Banff, Scotland for Canada in about 1832. He and
his wife Jean Milne had 2 sons and 3 daughters; the sons were named William
and Alexander. The family settled in Matapedia, Quebec. It is not known
when son William died, but son Alexander was to have 10 children most of
whom eventually had their own families in the Matapedia and Campbellton, NB
areas.
