New information I have indicates that John Mabry DONNEL who was born abt 1801 in Tennessee might have been the son of a DONALDSON (DONNELSON/DONELSON or perhaps Mc/Mac DONALD). I believe that his family originated in the Carolinas, PA, maybe MD. I would really like to find the parents of John Mabry DONNEL. Does anyone have a DONALDSON family with a John, b abt 1801 in TN? Any other suggestions on my search? John Mabry DONNEL married Elizabeth JERNIGAN abt 1819 and lived in Rutherford Co, TN until 1827/1829 when they relocated to Fayette Co, IL.
