Hello Donaldson researchers, Does anyone have information about a William DONALDSON, b. 1804, either in KY or VA? There is sources both census and family records conflicting the state he was born at. But most all records have his birth year at 1804, give or take a year. He first married Elizabeth Thompson, had 4 children, Lucinda Jane, Sarah Ann, Joseph and Matilda F.; his second wife was Matilda Peery, daug. of Solomon Peery, which are my ancestors. William and Matilda had children: Solomon, Mattie, Mary, William, Elizabeth/Betty and Milly V. I decend from the son, William, who married Nancy Jane Harbit. I believe Andrew Cooper Donaldson who is also in Monroe County, MO is closely related to William, and possibly Robert Donaldson, however Robert was born in NC and Andrew C. was b. KY if census is correct. I tend to believe there is a connection with William (1804) to Madison Co. KY but I have not found proof. Family tales are that William is decended from Scotland or Shetland Islands, but that has not yet been proven also. Any suggestions? I have many decendants of William, but no ancestors for him.
