• Notes

  BIRTH: Old Parochial Register, Church of Scotland 1749-1855. Microfiche and International Genealogical Index, Fam. Hist. Ctr., Langley Rd, Tucson, AZ. This record only list the place of birth as Scotland. DEATH: Gravestone, Kilmuir Burial Ground, Knockbain Parish, Black Isle, Scotland. Personally seen and photographed by Harry G. Taylor, GGGrandson, 11 May 1996. NOTE: The Old Parochial Register indicates that Willam Mc Donald and Elizabeth Mc Leod were married in the parish of Knockbain, in the county of Ross & Cromarty, and all the children were baptised in the same parish. One of the original records states that William Mc Donald was a gardener and that he was from Drumderfit, which was a manor in the parish. There is a farmhouse now on the site and the farm wife indicated that the manor house was destroyed over 100 years ago by fire. She also stated that all the stone huts of the tenants in the nearby farmlands were plowed under many years ago. There is no further record of William Mc Donald except his date of death and his memorial marker in the nearby Kilmuir grave yard on the Moray Firth. This grave yard is believed by archeologists to be an ancient Pict graveyard.
