I have located John’s family in the 1860 Census, Cobb County, Georgia. The birth locations are listed as SC for all members except Mary J. I presume the family moved from somewhere in South Carolina to Cobb County between 1851-1856. (1860 Census, Cobb County, Georgia) My G Grandfather (William Harvey McDONALD) died in 1910 when my Grandfather (William Harvey McDONALD, Junior) was a baby leaving him and his brother to grow up with their DREYER mother in Greene County, GA. I do not know how much contact these three had with the McDONALD side of the family (presumably from the Atlanta area) in later years, though there are death entries in the family Bible into the 1920’s. What I know is listed minus specific dates. (descendents of John McDONALD) To anyone who is a descendant of this family or has seen similar information in their research, your assistance in further leads or information would be greatly appreciated. --------------- 1860 Census, Cobb County, Georgia --------------- PAGE 53 - Town District D396/F381 MCDONALD, John.....45 M.....Farmer.............SC .....Catharine.............45 F..............................SC .....W.
