Looking for information on the following Mc/MacDonald family, all apparently born in Glenurquhart between 1720 and 1772, but possibly associated with the Glenmoriston Mc/MacDonalds: John McDonald was born at Glen Urquhart and belonged to the Glencoe McDonalds. At the time of the Glencoe Massacre, 1692, one of the McDonalds fled to Glen Urquhart and settled there. John McDonald was a grandson or great grandson of that man. He was about eight years in the Royal Highland Emigrant Regiment, and three of his sons fought with him in the Revolutionary War on the Loyalists' side. He was married twice. By his first wife he had Duncan, Alexander, Mary and Christy. By his second wife, Margaret Grant, he had James, Ewen, Ann and Ellen. I have a 1 July 1772 birth record for twin girls Ann & Helen (Ellen) that shows the birth on 1 July 1772 at Drumnadrochit. 3rd son James was born abt 1753 and 4th son Hugh/Ewen born about 1764 (all in Glenurquhart) The family was recorded in Dr William Mackay's 1893 book "Urquhart & Glenmoriston" (Index : Urquhart Settlement in Nova Scotia, numbers #8 (Hugh/Ewen), #9 (James), & #14 (the father, John McDonald, also known as Iain MacEoghainn Oig)
