I am related to the Donald MacDonald family - Donald being the son of Captain John MacDonald. I have this same article from the Casket. I am (I think) the ggg granddaughter of Captain John. This Donald who is mentioned below was the grandfather of my grandfather - all were named Donald. My mother's mother was also a MacDonald from Roman Valley.

From what i can find this "MacDonald" may have traveled on the Jane or Lucy to PEI and then later traveled to Nova Scotia. This side of the family were Catholics and verbal history from departed grandparents always made note that the "MacDonald" fought at Culloden but later fought for the crown in the American Revolution, hence getting land in Canada. Some other message boards have suggested that this MacDonald may have been known as Capt and or Solider John....but this is all just guessing....Based on other info I think the below identified Lachlan may be the branch of the family that i hail from......any information at all to further identify these people would be great.........Sandy > > >"The longevity of John Mac Donald, late of the Back Settlement of Bailey’s Brook, Pictou County and of his wife and children and their numerous families, are worthy of mention. He, with his wife and family, emigrated from Ardnish in Invernesshire, G. B. in the year 1790 and settled on a large lot of land granted him by the crown for his services in the British army that fought in the American War of Independence; and on which the greater number of his numerous descendents now living yet reside. > >All his family outlived himself and his wife who died at the ages of 88 and 87 years respectively. This worthy couple left 8 children, whose ages, issue, and periods of their death are as follows: Lachlan died June 12, 1865, age 99 years, issue 6 boys and 4 girls; Angus died January 1858, age 98 years, issue 6 boys and 4 girls; Mrs. Sarah Mc Adam died January 1858, age 94 years, issue 5 boys and 6 girls; John died April 16, 1860, age 90 years, issue 8 boys and 5 girls, Ronald died December 31, 1861, aged 88 years, issue 8 boys and 3 girls; Donald died January 1, 1863, aged 84 years, issue 10 boys and 3 girls; Roderick died December 14, 1849, aged 74, issue 7 boys and 3 girls; Mrs. Mary Mac Gillivray died December 1853, aged 73 years, issue 2 boys and 9 girls. > >It will be seen that the combined ages of Mr. Mac Donald’s children are 700 years, making an average of 87 ½ years to each. Again if the ages of the parents be added to the ages of their children, the average age of each will be the same, 87 ½. The number of grandchildren is 89: the number of children 8, making in all, including the parent stock, the respectable family of 99 in number. We doubt whether such longevity in one family can be found in the Province" > > > >-- >This mailing list is for Antigonish County, NS, genealogy.
