This is a very short sampling of a family history produced by of Winnipeg. She traces the descendants of JAMES DOBIE, possibly from near Lockerbie, Dumfrieshire, Scotland and AGNES BROWN, probably of Tundergarth Parish, Dumfrieshire, Scotland. Their children settled in Deux Montagnes Co., Quebec, and their ancestors are found all over North America. The people in this list are mainly in Quebec, Ontario & New York State, with a couple in Dakota Territory and Wisconsin.
Her impressive history, dated 1993 but still very much a work in progress, is crammed with photographs of people and copies of documents. The DOBIE section is about 200 pages, and it also has separate sections for the BROWN, McLARTY, LAWSON, BRANSCOMBE and MILLER families which are connected.
JAMES DOBIE -- born cir. 1760, DFS, SCT, perhaps the son of
Thomas Dobie of Oldwalls Farm near Lockerbie, DFS, SCT. He
died 20 April 1847, age 86 years, in Quebec, buried at the
Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Ste. Therese de Blainville,
Terrebonne Co., Quebec. He married AGNES BROWN, born cir.
1775, perhaps in Tundergarth Parish, DFS, SCT. She died 28
Oct. 1849, age 75 years, in Quebec and is buried the same
place as her husband. Their marriage was proclaimed on 2
June 1799, when James was living at Rockhillflat farm in
Applegarth Parish and Agnes was noted as being from St. Mungo
Parish, both in DFS.

lived at Rockhillflat when he married JEAN GOLDIE on 9
September 1782.
