01_people/person-john-mckinnon-isle-of-mull-1790.md Record notes
- Created after user acceptance of source-gravestone-john-mckinnon-isle-of-mull-1871 on 26 April 2026.
- The accepted gravestone photograph records John McKinnon as a native of the Isle of Mull, Scotland, who emigrated to "this Island" in 1808 and died 9 October 1871 aged 81 years.
- Birth year is calculated from the age-at-death inscription and is approximate.
- Death/burial location is represented from the gravestone's Campbell Cemetery location; the inscription does not name a separate place of death.
- "This Island" is ambiguous because Campbell Cemetery is on mainland Nova Scotia; preserve it as an as-inscribed emigration destination until a direct emigration, land, church, or census source identifies Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton Island, or another island.
- This person is distinct from person-john-mckinnon-argyle-shire-1794.
- No relationship is assigned to Donald Mac Kinnon, Margaret Mac Kennon Ponceby, Lachlin MacKinnon, or the Argyle-shire John McKinnon until a direct kinship source is reviewed.
