John Mckinnon & Susannah Anderson

John McKinnon, my 5th Great grandfather, and father of John McKinnon (jr), was born in Argyll Scotland on March 5th 1769.
Argyll (or Argylshire) is located on the west coast of Scotland.  The original inhabitants were Scots, Irish, and Norse peoples that first inhabited the region in the 2nd century.  The McKinnon (MacKinnon) clan's progenitor was Findanus, the youngest son of King Alpin (9th century AD), and the first lands of the clan were Mull and later Skye.  The clan tartan is pictured.

John married Susannah Anderson on August 24th 1797 at Dunoon and Kilmun, Renfrewshire, Scotland.  Susannah was born November 17th, 1772 in Argyll.  The Andrew clan is also known as the MacAndrew clan and originally took the name to signify devotion to St. Andrew.

John and Susannah had a son, John, some family trees indicate other children but their information is limited.  Have no information on John or Susannah's deaths.
