Biography
Son of James McCall and Martha McCool
Husband of Elsie "Ann" Simpson. They had five sons and three daughters —John, Duncan, Daniel, James and Hugh, and Catherine, Elizabeth and Mary.
The McCalls were of a Scottish clan from Argyleshire. Donald McCall came to America in the year 1756 with the regular British troops who were sent over against the French at the beginning of the Seven Years’ War. He was a private in Montgomery’s Highlanders, and took part in the capture of Louisbourg in 1758, and served also under Wolfe at the battle of the Plains of Abraham and the taking of Quebec.
In 1763, after the treaty of Paris, being discharged on the breaking up of his regiment, he settled in the State of New Jersey, where he lived till the breaking out of the Revolutionary War. He immediately joined the King’s Regiment, and did not retire from military life till after the surrender of Yorktown.
When he returned to his New Jersey home he soon found that he was regarded as an alien and shunned by his neighbours. Not caring to remain, in 1783 he made his way to New Brunswick and settled on a small allotment there.
In 1796 a party from New Brunswick, led by Donald McCall, came west to the Long Point settlement. He was selected as the leader because he had previously visited the country. Among the party were the loyalists Lieut. Jas. Munro and -Peter Fairchild. They landed at the mouth of Big Creek on July 1st, 1796, and took up land in various localities.
Donald was born about 1700. Donald McCall ... He passed away about 1780.[1]

McCall-1765 and McCall-254 appear to represent the same person because: Looks like a common enough match here. One source footnote (#1) stating a death date is inaccurate but otherwise looks simple.
