John Donaldson/Donelson - AL/TN?
I have an ancestor named John Donaldson from Limestone Co. AL who died ca. 1847 - I believe he was the son of another John Donaldson/Donelson based upon land records of Limestone Co.-When the GA. Assembly granted land to speculators under the infamous Wazoo Land Company scandals of the 1780's and 1790's, a John Donaldson and John Sevier were mentioned as being granted land in what is now north Alabama, north of the Tennessee river.Sevier, obviously, is the John Sevier who was later governor of TN.My question basically is whether the John Donaldson mentioned in this was the John Donelson of TN fame who was father of Rachel Donelson Jackson, and father-in-law to Andrew Jackson.Did that John Donelson have a son and namesake born about 1779 to 1783 who later moved to Alabama?Any help out there from Donaldson/Donelson descendants from TN?Thanks!
Bill
