More Family Tree

The More family is known in Scotland as the Buchlyvie Mores. They have no plaid. They are said to be related to the famous Rob Roy of the same region. Bonnie Prince Charlie was given shelter at one time on the More farms.

Robert and Helen (Wilson) More came to the United States in the sailing vessel, Brooksby. They left Scotland April 1, 1846 and reached Janesville Wisconsin June 1, 1846, having spent 6 weeks on the ocean and 2 weeks coming up the canal to Milwaukee. Their children were babtized in what is now the United Free Church of Buchlyvie Scotland and their parents, William and Helen Buchanan More are buried in that church yard.
