Roy Donaldson Donaldson 10/09/01
My Donaldson family originated with one John Donaldson, born in England in 1745, who came to the old 'Cheraw District" of SCabout 1773.He had three sons.John, born 1775, Peter and William.I am a descendant of John, whomoved to Tenn. from the Cheraw Dist of SC.John and his wife Jincy did not have a son named Surry Eaton born 1809.Peter & William disappeared from the records of that area.They might also have moved to Tenn.I have been working on this for 20 years, and just recently found out my John and his wife moved to Tenn. Their oldest son, my great,great grandfather,John Robertson Donaldson, stayed in Marlboro Co.,SC and raised his family.I had always wondered what had happened to his parents, for I could not find them until someone just recently sent me the information that they had all moved out there.And it has been verified. I do know that John's wife's brother, James Fieldswent with them, so John's brothers might have gone out there too.You might want to explore the area of Gibson Co. to see if there might have been a Peter or a William Donaldson settled in about 1830.Good luck with your quest.
