Archibald McNab

Archibald McNab

Archibald McNab (January 20 1826 – July 16 1904) was an Ontario businessman and political figure. He represented Glengarry in the Canadian House of Commons as a Liberal member from 1875 to 1878.

He was born in Breadalbane, Glengarry County, Upper Canada in 1826, the son of Scottish immigrants. In 1851, he married Margaret McArthur. He served on the council for Lochiel Township for 21 years, much of that time as reeve, and also served as warden for the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. He was a director of the Montreal and City of Ottawa Junction Railway. McNab ran unsuccessfully twice for a seat in the Ontario assembly. He was elected to the House of Commons in a by-election held after Donald Alexander Macdonald was named Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, was unseated after an appeal and elected again in the by-election that followed. In 1887, he was named license inspector for Glengarry and, in 1897, sheriff for Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. He died at Bredalbane in 1904.
