In a book written by Rita Heuser Farrell " Our Mountains and Glens " The History of River Denys, Big Brook and Lime Hill ( North Side ), Cape Breton Nova Scotia...page 260, she mentions that Angus was the son of John MacIntosh, pioneer, who settled in Chimney Corner in the early 1800's and that this John had two other sons, John and Kenneth.... Unfortunately there are no details of either.
Angus was one of the first school teachers in the area and set up his school in an outbuilding belonging to Neil MacLean. When Catherine died in 1875, Angus took his children to live with their MacLeod grandparents.
Below is a map hand drawn from memory by my grandfather Edward MacIntosh in 1977, it's a little difficult to read but it shows the approximate location of the various family farms.
I have divided the page in half, to view an edited map of each side, please click on the links below
