Biography

Squire John Beaton took up a large tract of land "beyond the mountain", so called, was married to a daughter of Captain Angus MacDonald (Tulloch) of West Lake Ainslie, and had a family of five sons, namely: Donald, ANGUS, John, Ronald and Alexander, and we think an only daughter that was married to the late Duncan McKillop of Mabou Ridge.

Angus, the second son of the old Squire taught school in his young days, and afterwards bought a farm on the Strathlorne road on which he lived and raised a large family. He was married to Margaret Campbell of Rear Port Hood. A man without guile was this honest Angus Beaton.
