Its not uncommon not to find a record on the Illinois Statewide Death Index but to find one in the County Clerks Office. buried:___________________(Cemetery Name) in __________________(City/County/State).....I'd check in Old Stearns Cemetery in Ogden, Champaign County, IL as that is where his son Samuel is buried and David lived with Samuel in 1870. Also, I believe Davids wife Mary is buried there too. Parents: ___________________________(Fathers Birthname) __________________(Mothers Birthname)....Try to locate obit/death cert/marriage application as they may hold that information. Married: ________________________(Full Date) in __________________(City/County/State)....I'd first check in Richmond County, VA as that is where they were living in 1820. I'm sure it was in VA though as they were both born there and several of their older children were born in VA. Spouse: Mary ____________________(Surname) Donaldson NOTE: see note below as I believe that to be her inf. but I didn't fill in the blanks as you will need to prove in fact its her first. b. ________________________(Full Date)....abt. 1792-1793 per census in ___________(City/County), VA....per census' d. ________________________(Full Date) in __________________(City/County/State)I'd check in Vermilion County, IL and in Champaign County, IL.

I'm sure it was in VA though as they were both born there and several of their older children were born in VA. NOTE: I found a Mary Donaldson buried in the same Cemetery as David and Mary's son Samuel. I believe it to be her but you'll need to obtain a death certificate and/or obit to confirm. Here is the information on www.findagrave.com: Mary Donaldson b. 3-2-1792....census' show the above Mary was born abt. 1792-1793....so its possible it is her. d. 3-11-1872 buried: Old Stearns Cemetery in Ogden, Champaign County, IL. NOTE: There are 11 Donaldsons buried in the Old Stearns Cemetery in Ogden, Champaign County, IL. per www.findagrave.com 1810 NOTE: He's not coming up under his name so more than likely he was still living his his parents household....he'd of been about 21. I check Richmond, VA for any David's and nothing is coming up even remotely like Donaldson. 1820 Richmond (Indpendent City), VA.....taken unknown as no date noted: NOTE: Unfortunetly, I cannot bring up the blank census form to show me what age groupings there were so that I can put the numbers below in the age groups.

They only listed the name of the head of household and then group persons in the household into male and female and various age groups. DONALDSON, David Males in Household: Under 5 = 2.....Son Samuel would fall into this group. The other children on the 1850 census weren't even born in 1830. Thus, besides Samuel there was another child under 5 so....either this was another son or someone was visiting or even a relative living there. 5 to 10 = 1...The other children on the 1850 census weren't even born in 1830.....so....either this was another son or someone was visiting or even a relative living there. 10 to 15 = 2.......The other children on the 1850 census weren't even born in 1830.....so....either there were 2 other sons or someone was visiting or hired hands or even a relative or even a relative living there. 15 to 20 = 2.......The other children on the 1850 census weren't even born in 1830.....so....either there were 2 other sons or someone was visiting or hired hands or even a relative or even a relative living there. 20 to 30 = 0 30 to 40 = 0 40 to 50 = 1.....David would fall into this group 50 to 60 = 0 60 to 70 = 0 70 to 80 = 0 80 to 90 = 0 90 to 100 = 0 100 and upwards = 0 Females in Household: Under 5 = 1.....Daughter Mary would fall into this group 5 to 10 = 0 10 to 15 = 1.......The other children on the 1850 census weren't even born in 1830.....so....either there was another daughter or someone was visiting or hired hand or even a relative or even a relative living there. 15 to 20 = 0 20 to 30 = 0 30 to 40 = 1.....Wife Mary would fall into this group 40 to 50 = 0 50 to 60 = 0 60 to 70 = 0 70 to 80 = 0 80 to 90 = 1.....this could possibly be a parent of Davids or Marys or another relative living there or someone just visiting. 90 to 100 = 0 100 and upwards = 0 1840 Troy Township, Fountain County, IN....taken unknown as no date noted: NOTE: Census' at this time did not give specific information.

DONALDSON (spelt Donalson on actual census), David Males in Household: Under 5 = 1........Son David M. would fall into this group 5 to 10 = 2....Son Cyrus and ??? would fall into this group. Tiffin was not accounted for in above grouping for under 5 as he'd of been abt. 3 so more than likely they inadvertently put him in this grouping. 10 to 15 = 1........Son Samuel would fall into this group. 15 to 20 = 1.....this could of been a son that had already moved out of the family home in 1850 before that census was taken.... or it could be hired help or someone there visiting or even a relative living there. 20 to 30 = 2.....this could of been sons that had already moved out of the family home in 1850 as he isn't showing up then or it could be hired help or someone there visiting or even a relative living there. 30 to 40 = 0 40 to 50 = 0 50 to 60 = 1........David would fall into this group 60 to 70 = 0 70 to 80 = 0 80 to 90 = 0 90 to 100 = 0 100 and upwards = 0 Females in Household: Under 5 = 1.....this could be a daughter that didn't live to be noted in the family home in 1850 or she had already moved out of the family home in 1850 before that census was taken or it could be someone visiting or even a relative living there. 5 to 10 = 0 10 to 15 = 1.....Daughter Mary would fall into this group 15 to 20 = 0 20 to 30 = 1.....this could of been a daughter that had already moved out of the family home in 1850 as she isn't showing up then or it could be hired help or someone there visiting or even a relative living there. 30 to 40 = 0 40 to 50 = 1.....Wife Mary would fall into this group 50 to 60 = 0 60 to 70 = 0 70 to 80 = 0 80 to 90 = 0 90 to 100 = 0 100 and upwards = 0 1850 Troy Township, Fountain County, IN....taken 10-17-1850: Transcribed from actual microfilm copy on www.ancestry.com DONALDSON, David 61 (so about....1789).
