McDonalds, mid-1800s, Fentress Co.
Benjamin Totten McDonald (b. aug. 5, 1843 in Jamestown, Fentress Co., Tennessee) and his wife Isabel Jones Haywood raised our ggrandmother, Alice Elizabeth Owens, since her mother died in childbirth (1876 in Brownsburg, Hendricks Co.,Indiana). We think Benjamin's parents were William and Martha Ellen McDonald, and they had about 12 children - the eldest two of whom were killed along with their dad in the Civil War.Does anyone have information on this family?Thanks in advance! bkn
