Biographical history
Simon McGillivray was born in Dunlichty, Scotland, in 1783 and died in 1840 in Blackheath, England. McGillivray was the youngest son of Donald McGillivray and Anne McTavish, daughter of John McTavish of Garthberg and sister to fur trader Simon McTavish. In 1837, McGillivray married Anne Easthope in England. Due to an injured foot, McGillivray did not join his brothers William and Duncan on their expeditions to Canada, but remained in London to work for McTavish, Fraser and Company to maximize profits for the Montreal firm.
