Biography

Mary was born about 1803. She passed away about 1887.

Children

Colin and Mary had the following known children

1. Lewis MacDonald
2. Margaret MacDonald
3. Simon MacDonald
4. John MacDonald
5. Ronald MacDonald
6. Duncan MacDonald
7. James MacDonald

Lottie is listed as their child on FamilySearch with no records to show the relationship. Because of the age of the known children and the age of the parens, it can be easy to assume there are additional children possibly born before Lewis and after Lewis. There is a seven year gap between the first two children.

Research Notes

a birth, marriage and death record are needed.
