Hi,
I am looking for anyone who might have some information about WILLIAM A.
MCDONALD who lived in Boone County from about 1853 until his death in
1894.
He married POLLY JANE SMILEY in 1853 and they had five children: Mary
Jane, Malinda, Sarah, John W. and Andrew McDonald.
They first lived in Whitestown at about the time of the settlement of
that community and later bought a farm in Marion Township.
Polly died in 1872 and William remarried CATHERINE SLOAN, she died, and
he remarried to MARIAH GARRETT in 1891.
He is buried in Mts. Run Cemetery beside his first wife Polly. I know
that Polly came from Greene County Tennessee and have information on her
ancestors, but I cannot find anything on William. Census records, etc.
indicated that he was born in Ohio, and his birthdate on his tombstone
is Jan. 11, 1825.
I am looking for anyone who might be researching this family or anyone
who might have information of the very early history of Whitestown.
