There is no surviving baptism record for Margaret, but we know she was the daughter of David and Elisabeth Ruxton, of Edgehill farm, Fiveran, Aberdeenshire, which is located about 10 miles north of Aberdeen.
She married James Findlay of Newmachar on 20 Aug 1826.
On the 16th of April 1836 James and Margaret sailed from Aberdeen for Canada with five young children aged from 8 (Agnes) to 4 months (David).
James settled as a tenant on 44 acres in Nichol Township, at concession 11 lot 17, just north of what was to become the town of Elora, Ontario.
James later bought land of his own at lot 7 on the 12th concession of Nichol township.
The lovely old stone house (on the Alma Road) was built for the Findlays in 1845 by Geddes, a Scottish Stonemason. They called it "Edgewood" as they had to make a clearing in the forest before they could build. The Findlays lived there 20 or more years.
In Mar 1863 James and Margaret Findlay sold all (100 acres) of lot 7, Concession 11, Nichol township to James Burnett.
In Mar 1866 James and Margaret Findlay bought the northwestern part (46 acres) of lot 1, Concession A, Pilkington township from Levi Erb.
