DUNCAN CAMERON MCDONELL (repost-new email)
My Great Great Grandfather, Duncan Cameron McDonell, was born 23 June 1829 in Glengarry, Ontario, Canada to Donald McDonell and unknown. His mother's name may have been Mary - as his oldest daughter carried that name. Duncan married Christina Finlayson (daughter of Donald Ban & Mary (McCormick) Finlayson) on 13 November 1856 in St. Urbain, Quebec. They had 9 children, all born in Quebec.
Mary Paulina McDonell - 1857
Donald Cornelius McDonell - 1859
Archibald D. McDonell - 1860
Sarah Ann Maria McDonell - 1863
Hugh John Alexander McDonell - 1865
Christina McDonell - 1867
Hugh Cameron McDonell - 1870
Duncan Finlayson McDonell - 1872
Robert Baker May McDonell - 1875
Duncan and Christina left Canada sometime after the birth of their last child and went to Wisconsin where they lived out the rest of their lives. Duncan died in Superior, Douglas Co., WI on 14 February 1896 & Christina on 5 October 1917.
I just recently discovered Hugh John Alexander & Robert Baker May McDonell while searching through some baptism records. They both must have died young because I've never found any mention of them anywhere else! Always a surprise around the corner!!
I don't have any siblings for Duncan and have really hit the wall on this one... I can't seem to get a break on it.
Any clues out there? Thanks...
