Still searching.. John F. Donaldson. b. Ky 1805 (per census) married Sena Kimbrough b. NC d/o Moses Kimbrough Moved to Mo. prior to 1830 ,is found along with Kimbroughs in Randolph Co Mo. Found in Milam Co. Tx 1850,land record as early as 1848. Names of children of John F. and Sena Kimbrough Donaldson James W. b. 1829 Mo Jarvis b. 1832 Mo Robert J. b. 1833 Mo Jesse Sinclair b. 1836 Mo. Sarah E. b. 1836 Mo. John F.(2) b. 1838 Mo Thomas Jefferson Donaldson b. July 1840 Mo. Martha A. b. 1842 Mo. George W. b. 1845 Texas Four of the above served in local militias in Texas and CSA Civil War. Thos. J. Donaldson married 1st Mattie Fisher,2nd Rebecca McKinney d/o Uriah McKinney,is known by family to be from American Indian heritage. On Thos. J.'s pension records there is a T.B.Fisher who was with him in the war. Any Fisher connections out there? Any McKinneys? Thos. J. had a son John Fleming Donaldson; does this mean that the "F" in the first John F. is Fleming? There are several connections between the Flemings and Donaldson in early Ky.so this is an important item of interest to searchers of this family. This family does not appear to have any connections,yet,to the Doanaldsons who came to Tx from the most southern states. One more question. Who was the Stephen Donaldson,actually there were two,who appear in Nacogsoches Tx early records? Was the younger Stephen an older son of John F. Donaldson?They appear to be connected as a Stephen appears in Milam Co Tx later . Maybe this will interest someone on the list.Any response? Marion Donaldson

James Donalson/Donelson/Donaldson, b. March 9, 1798, Hawkins County, TN, died April 5, 1876, Ladonia, Fannin County, TX. and wife Nancy Vaughan Donalson, b.

Their children: Thomas (my gggrandfather), Samuel, Andrew Jackson, Dave Perry, Polly Ann and James Stokely. Who were the parents of James Donalson, Sr? Family tradition and the Kansas obituary of Samuel says he was a descendant of Rachel Donelson Jackson's family. I have no proof of this. I would like to communicate with descendants of James and Nancy Vaughan Donalson. On one of the Family Tree Maker disks, I found a Frank A. Lousignont of Houston, TX who submitted information on this same family, but when I wrote him the letter was returned with no forwarding address. Does anyone out there know Frank? Thank you!!

I am looking for a Eugene Donaldson who married Mary Alderson. I'm not sure, but he may have been in Missouri. Does anyone have any information to share about him? He had a son Donald Donaldson. who married Mary Gladys Reinsch during WW1. I am just starting to look, and this is all the information I have! Thank you for any help. pd

I need any connections to Walter Donaldson born Northumberland England about 1800. He died at Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, in the American civil war.

These may be old to some but in discarding some old magazines,thought may be new to some.

In answer to Jean,the B.F.Donaldson Bible record of which I copied at library is from OZAR'KIN Vol X11,No 4,Winter 1990. Others in this record are a Rauch family and a couple of Prices. And yes, it is titled The B.F.Donaldson Bible(with both spellings of Donaldson/Donalson) On subject of an Andrew, this from someone's record sent to me One Andrew J. Donaldson b. 1767 NC d.1846 AL mar Elizabeth Armstrong; his son- Andrew J. b.ca 1800 d. 1870 TN mar prior to 1824 Eva Isabella Luckey Eva Isabella L.Donaldson d.1883 Coryell Co Tx Father of 1st Andrew above William b. ca 1740 SCT? mar ca1760 Mary Cooke. Some of their children b. PA. Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson names sppear quite frequently in all our families,sometimes makes it more difficult to seperate them. I may find other Andrews, and don't even mention JAMES &JOHNS! Marion,searching for John F.

The only information I have on Alexander DONALDSON (b.abt 1717) is : Children: John DONALDSON (b 1742) Andrew DONALDSON ( b 1744) William DONALDSON (b 1746) Samuel DONALDSON (b 1748) Joseph DONALDSON (b 1750). No other dates or locations. He is apparently a brother of Thomas Donaldson who was the father of John and Henry who were in New York and Vermont during the 1750s and later. I really don't have a good source for this other than hearsay. If I come up with one I'll post it. Gary Donaldson

Dear M.E. People coming into this area of Greenbrier County in the 1760-1780's were, by definition, first generation to this area. I have several folks in addition to William Donaldson that just seem to have come out of "no where." The Donaldson family did not decide how to spell their name until about 1900. Some of this was from lack of ability to spell, but among the more educated members of the family, there was a debate as to what the original name was. Various spellings included Donalson, Danelson, and several other variations. Since many immigrants came as family units, it would seem reasonable to see if we can't hook William up with some other family members. In this regard, your David Donaldson seems to be the correct age to fit into a group of brothers. Perhaps some other subscribers have an older generation that might hook up one or both of these men.

I think I need to start looking at the possibility of a connection to the line of Alexander DONALDSON from Nova Scotia. He had five sons: John, Andrew, William, Samuel, and Joseph. Has anyone done any work on these? Gary Donaldson

Marion, My William Donaldson from Greenbrier County [W]VA married Margaret Humphrey, probably in the 1790's. He died leaving underage children, so Margaret may have been a second marriage. Part of my problem of figuring out children's birthdates may be due to two marriages. We should see if this is the same guy. I don't know where he came from or anything about his family.
