We are trying to find our McDONALD ancestors. Our only known McDONALD at this point is Jemima, who married Theophilus BATEMAN in Bibb CO, GA 15 Oct. 1829. A sister or cousin of hers married a cousin of our Theophilus, named Micajah BATEMAN [(JR.?) believed to the son of Micajah BATEMAN and his wife Levina (No surname known at this time.)]. The younger Micajah married Martha McDONALD on the 16th of Dec. 1829 in Bibb Co, GA. Jemima & Theophilus had 6 children: Nancy, William Green, Martha Ann, Middleton McDonald, James, & Charity. (Charity was named after her Grandmother, Charity McCRARY who married Bryan BATEMAN, Theo's father.) We are looking for the birth dates of thier children (All except Nancy, she married John Fletcher HARMON. who's info. we have.). Jemima was a co-executor with Middleton McDonald of her husbands estate. We found this mentioned in an article on the Abstracts from the Georgia Journal and Messenger, Macon, GA dated February 7,1849 VolXXVI No 45. And Middleton is mentioned in Theophilus' Will as brother & trusted friend. Theo died Sept 10th, 1848 in Marion Co., GA. We know that there were several McDONALD families mentioned in the 1850 Federal Census. Middleton MCDONALD Bibb 206 # 520 Dist., #7-68 Middleton McDonald, 36 b. GA Polly 26 b. GA James 5, b. GA Middleton 6 mo. (recorded Sept 25) b. GA (Middleton is also shown marrying Mary Busy on 21 Nov. 1839 in the Bibb Co. Marriage Book B 1839-1849.) Charles (Probably J.) Bibb 200 # 519 Dist. G. Bibb 138 # 564 Dist. John W. Bibb 157 # 716 Dist. Is there any relation of these families to one another? Does anyone know the relation of JEMIMA to MIDDLETON, & MARTHA, & who their PARENTS were? We have NO information what so ever on our Jemima & her family other than her marriage date. Please get in touch with us, as any info. to head us in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Please write, or e-mail, Jack Scarborough, [email protected], or snail mail, 3108 Arroyo Dr. Victoria, TX 77901
