All members of the "Gunn" families who were passengers on the barque Ellen settled in South Granville, Prince Edward Island. It is one of my lifelong goals to find out how the three "heads of household" -- McKenzie, William, Benjamin -- were related. William is my great-great grandfather. Skip Colcord searcy@shentel.net
