Kimberly, "Flora MacDonald: The Jacobite Heroine in Scotland and North America" by Ruairidh H. MacLeod (1995 by Shepheard-Walwyn) lists seven children of Flora and Allan MacDonald as follows: Charles, Ann, Alexander, James, Ranald, John and Frances. None of these children are buried in North Carolina according to this book. Some did not even come to North Carolina. I was with Ruari MacLeod on a tour of the Argyll area of Scotland this past July and, if I am not mistaken, he stated that the story about some of Flora and Allan's children being buried in North Carolina is not true. I am curious to learn the names of the children that are supposedly buried in North Carolina. Perhaps there is another source that refutes the position taken by Mr. MacLeod. It would also be interesting to learn the source of the story that maintains some of Flora's children are buried in North Carolina.
