New to the list. Looking for information on Ludovic Macdonald who was born about 1750 in Uig. His son Gray Macdonald is said to be named for a military officer that Ludovic served under. Gray was born in Staffin, probably in the 1770s or 80s. Gray Macdonald's son John Gray Macdonald Sr. was born about 1791, I'm guessing in the Staffin area. He married Catherine Cameron, probably of the Staffin area, about 1822. He came to Skye Glen, Nova Scotia near Whycocomagh (dates vary from the 1830s to 1854). Family lore is that the family was headed for the Virginia/Carolina Scots areas but storms blew them north and the women refused to continue after the ship landed in Nova Scotia. John Sr. and Catherine brought their then five children with them to Nova Scotia. John Sr. "Took up 400 acres of land" according to J.L. Macdougall's History of Inverness County Nova Scotia. He lived to be 102 years old. John Macdonald Jr. was one of the five children born in Skye, probably Staffin or Portree area, who came to Skye Glen. He was born May 10, 1823. He married about 1850, probably in Skye Glen, Mary Gillis who was b. April 10, 1835 in Skye Glen, Nova Scotia. John Sr. gave John Jr. and Mary 80 acres of land for their wedding present. They had 13 children. My line from John Gray Macdonald Jr. is my great grandfather Archibald George (A.G.) Macdonald b. July 18, 1858 in Skye Glen, N.S. A.G. Married Margaret Virginia Fletcher June 2, 1890 in the Virginia City, Montana area. He died Feb 19, 1919. Their son, my grandfather, William Murdoch Fletcher Macdonald b. Feb 19, 1891 in Montana married Luella Fay Blake Sept 10, 1913 in Sidney,MT. (He dropped the William and went by Murdoch). My father, Ronald Grant Macdonald, Sr. was born in Norris, MT Feb 15, 1919. He returned to Great Britain in 1942 as a fighter pilot for the Royal Air Force. I am Ronald Grant Macdonald, Jr. Any hook up with cousins appreciated. One of John Gray Sr's sons, Dan, moved to New Zealand and had a son and a daughter.
