ID # 4346, (1821-1893)
| Father | James Keachie (1799-1851) |
| Mother | Elizabeth Buchanan (1798-1882) |
| Birth | Agnes Matilda Keachie was born on 3 December 1821 at Dumfries Township, Gore District. |
| Marriage | She married Donald McLean on 5 January 1849 at Dumfries Township. GS2987 First Church, Galt Marriage record book. Mrg. nbr. 289 By license in Dumfries on January 5, 1849 Donald McLean and Matilda Keachie, both of Dumfries Witnesses Robert McLean and James Keachie Parts of the above are nearly unreadable on the microfilmed copy. It is possible to discern that the marriage was held by license in Dumfries, (probably at the home of the bride's parents). The bride's name is just readable, but those of the groom and witnesses are badly faded. We do however, also have the record that Rev. Strang submitted to the district registrar and portions of the above are extracted from the record below. MS248 reel 1 Vol. 4, page 119 Gore District Marriage Register Submitted by Rev. Strang Donald McLean and Matilda Keachie, both of Dumfries on January 5th, 1849. Witnesses Robert McLean and James Keachie. The location of the marriage is, typically, omitted from the district marriage registers. The First Church record book, on the other hand, at least locates the marriage in Dumfries, or Galt, or Beverly, etc. After that, without a newspaper record we are left guessing as to whether the marriage was at the bride's home or that of another family member. |
| Death | She died on 3 July 1893 at Guelph, Wellington Co., Ontario, at age 71. |
| Burial | She was buried at Block E-lots, Woodlawn Cemetery, Guelph, Ontario. |
