We have been off researching other families and not checking our McDonalds. Have items re McDonald/McDiarmid etc. if interested. Have never been able to find anything about Ellen Diggins family. Believe Jeremiah Diggins ran a hotel near Miner's Rest where Archibald McDonald lived for a time, but haven't been able to substantiate this family story. All the best, Trevor.
