His birth place is listed as Pictou NS and his parents as Donald and Margaret McDonald. The witnesses were Hector McLean of Watford ON and Ellen McTaggart of Ekfrid ON. The 1871 Ontario census Lambton Co, Brooke Div lists Donald McDonald(63), Margaret(60),Alexander(28),John(26) and Janet(19) all born in NS. I believe this is my ggfather's family( or part of it). Could this be the Donald McDonald of E.Br.East River and Margaret McLean of McLennan's Mtn who were married 11 Nov 1834 by Rev John McRae? Were there other children? Ellen, perhaps? When did they move to Ontario? Who were Donald's and Margaret's parents? When and how did their families arrive in NS? Any information, either confirming or ruling out a connection, welcome. Thanks in advance for any hints on how to find info back past about 1871. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
