Adelaide

These passengers were contracted settlers with the New Brunswick Land Company and departed Greenock on the ship Royal Adelaide on 1st September of 1836. Most of these folks spoke Gaelic and only a little English. They were largely fisher folk who had decided on taking a settlement contract with the New Brunswick Land Company. Their interpreter was Samual Nicholson, said to have travelled with this group, employed by the New Brunswick Land Company.

Contributor's notes
My ancestor, Hugh Alexander McDonald ( McDonal) was a contracted Settler
with the New Brunswick Land Company.  The records of the Customs
Office in Saint John , New Brunswick were destroyed in the Saint John (
N.B.) fire. 

Hugh Alexander of Sleat, Chieftain, had several illigitimate
sons and it may be that my ancestor was one of these who had come to 
New Brunswick with these settlers. 

The information I seek is the town or parish from which my ancestor
originated. I wish to visit and to establish ties with those who now
survive of his extended line.

I have many reasons for this, the strongest of which is my work in
establishing Highland Culture at the school where I teach. I am the
faculty advisor for a Highland Pipes & Drums band Celtic Arts Program,
which I founded: The Graham Highlanders Pipes & Drums of Saint Johnsbury
Academy 
of Caledonia county, Vermont, USA.
