I learned the following in regard to possibly finding location of Joseph McDonald's land in the 1750's. Possibly 'Near the gap in Tinker Mountain' will help someone tell us approximately where the McDonald land and house is/was located? Bryan McDonald came to Virginia from Mill Creek Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware, about the year 1745. He was 59 years old when he moved to Buffalo Creek. Those who died early in the settlement were buried in the McDonald or Glebe graveyard at the corner of Edward McDonald's land. The old Bryan McDonald place is at a head spring of Buffalo or Tinker Creek. The land is near the gap in Tinker Mountain. The old house was about four or five miles above the Robinson Mill. In 1938, the original house was still standing. (Joseph was son of Bryan McDonald.)
