I have found a number of items that indicate that my 6th ggfather was one of the children carried out of Glencoe the night of the massacre. That particular line never returned to Glencoe. The earliest family member that like-minded researchers have been able to find was an Adam McDonald, presumably a son of the child carried out of the glen, a workman in Hamilton who, in 1738, married Margaret McKenna(n). The family generally moved more westerly and, by 1820, one of Adam's grandsons, John "the Patriarch" McDonald, left Lochwinnoch with his wife, brother-in-law, married children, grandchildren and other people from Lochwinnoch. They set sail from Greenock in April of 1820, landing in the Port of Quebec May 26, 1820 and were the first settlers in the Caledon West Twp. of the Home District. I would dearly love to find evidence of the Glencoe connection but have not been able to do so aside from a newspaper article naming a number of McDonalds (all descendants of "the Patriarch") as descendants of the Glencoe McDonalds and a letter from one descendant to another stating categorically that it was "the Patriarch's" great grandfather who was saved that night. I have checked the 3-volume history of Clan Donald, but have not been able to get any definitive information from it. Would anyone have any suggestions on how I might be able to get more information?
