Hello, my name is D. Craig McDonald and I was born in 1954. I have been researching my McDonald family since 1983. I owe a profound debt to Moruca King, my 2nd cousin and my Aunt Rosemary and all the other people who have provided valuable information to fill in the gaps. The research is up on Wikitree.com and on Ancestry.com. The name of the family tree is called "Fork of the Rivers McDonald's - Texas Descendants" though many moved to other places other than Texas. My most distant ancestor is William McDonald who married Elizabeth Sadler in 1789. We are still working on who he was and where he was born. I hope our research is useful to anyone who is researching the McDonald family from Tennessee, Virginia and wherever they come from before then.
