Just a few thoughts.
1. Not Battle of Culloden which was 16 April 1746.
2. Do you know his wife's name, date of birth, parents? Can online and free search of
church records for the area he came from. If get marriage certificate they often listed
parents names.
3. Check IGI of LDS church. They will list names of people and when you look at the
records, it will state if parents info is available.

Oops, sorry I misspelled your name Glenda.
One more thought. Another conflict the family may have ended up on the
wrong side of would be the American Revolutionary War. Many "loyalists fled
to Canada, and those ofscottish decent might have found there way to Nova
Scotia..."new scotland"...I think it is...only to return after the war,
particulalrly if they head "out west"...think Mid-Western states...early
1800's.
I have quite a few of those on my maternal side...

I have an old family story. I hope someone can help shed some
light.
My great grandfather, George Milton was born in Deskford, Banffshire in
1835, died in 1927 in Kansas, USA.
He told his children that Milton was not the original family name, that
they
had to change it when they got on the wrong side of some conflict. There
are notes left by his daughters saying that it may have been MacDuff. One
of his son's middle name was Campbell. The family was Church of Scotland.
I've wondered if the conflict could had some connection to the events at
Culloden - or earlier?
Does anyone else have a similar story? I'm looking for clues.
Thank you
