My great, great great,great grandfather was Ewen McDonell (or Macdonell) of Livishie (or Livisy) in Glen Moriston. he died in 1781 and is buried in Clachan Inbhir, the old burial ground in Invermoriston. Who was his wife? His son, Donald McDonell, whose wife, Helen Grant, was the granddaughter of John Grant, 6th Laird of Glenmoriston and the great granddaughter of Sir Ewen Cameron of Lochiel, is also buried there. He died in 1827. His wife died in the same year. Donald's successor was his son, Ewen, born 1773. His wife was Isabella Grant. Which family was she from? My great grandfather, Patrick Macdonell was Ewen's eldest son. He emigrated to New Zealand in the 1880s. Both his sons died unmarried. I would like to hear from anybody who is related to this family, especially any descendants of Ewen Macdonell's brother, Donald Macdonell who marries Margaret Cameron of Muckovie and Tomcrasky about 1861.
