Mary Anne Donnally of your family is most likely related to James Donnally son of Frances
Donnally Sr. of Augusta County VA died 1761. Family had settled in Augusta after having
moved there from Lancaster PA with Rev. Craighead who led a settlement of Cumberland
Presbyterians (new light) from from PA to VA to SC near York/Beaufort. James brother
Williams also went, leaving Francis jr, to take care of their mother Sarah (her new baby),
sister Mary, and brothers Henry and John. James may have had a daughter Sarah who married
into the Mullinax/Mullineau family also from Rockbridge/Augusta VA who also settled in SC.
Donnallys were originally from No. Ireland and before 1600s were from Scotland.
