I have JAMES MCDONALD (1796) married to ELIZABETH (PEGGY) CLARKE(born County Cork, Ireland) and following children: Mathew (1832, Barnston, Quebec) married Eliza La Plant, Archibald (abt 1833) married Margaret Fenton, James (abt 1834) married Justine Plant (La Plant), Nancy (1836) spinster, Charles Edwin (1839), Ellen (1838) married Benjamin Higgins and Jerry Sullivan, John (1837) married Mary Harris, Mary Jane (1840) married Lewis Pomeroy, Sarah (1841) married Patrick Dunn, Peter (1845), Henry (1845-1866), Edmund Peter (1853). Mathew (1832) and Eliza had the following children: Janis 1863, Lizzie 1865, Willy 1867, Harriet 1870, James 1871, Katy(Katie Ann) 1872, Henry 1874, Leonard 1876, Allan 1878, Mary 1879, Nellie 1882, Della 1886, Charlotte 1888, Donald 1890. James (1834) and Mary Harris had the following children: Charles E. 1866, Henry 1867, Nancy 1870, Herbert E. 1872, Katy 1876, John A. 1881. Sarah McDonald (1841) and Patrick Dunn (living Compton, Quebec) had the following children: Mary Maria Dunn 1866, Charles Albert Dunn, Fredrick George Dunn, Aaron Dunn. Ellen McDonald (1838) and Benjamin Higgins (of Lawrence Massachusettes) had the following children: William Higgins, Frank Higgins Ellen second marriage to Jerry Sullivan (of Pawtucket, Rhode Island) had the following children John Sullivan, Mary Sullivan and Ruth Sullivan. It is unclear at this time wether James McDonald is Scot or Irish as this changed on each census. 1881 has them as Irish as well as Mathew's family.
