Flora McDonald by Louise. Sep 22 2006 | |
| Louise Sep 22 2006 | Hi .. i was told not so long ago that Flora McDonald (who assisted Bonnie Prince Charlie`s escaped) is my ancestor on my mothers side. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about her or if they are in someway related to her. Any replies will be accepted gratefully! |

| nicole McDonald Nov 17 2006 | decendants of Flora McDonald settled and hid in the `rocky Saugeen` area in the township of west grey ontario, Near the town of Durham. my husband is a mcdonald directly from this line. they settled here in what was known as the Queens Bush, where land titles were given to people who would work the land here in 1850`s. the story goes that the mcdonalds settled at the rocky saugeen river all in close proximity to eachother and helped one another in the wilderness. The rocky saugeen is just north of the Town of Durham Ontario and was where my husband,and his family have lived in the area of rocky saugeen since the 1850`s |

| william McDonald Aug 21 2007 | my dad said we were directly descended to Flora McDonald. There`s no way he was mistaken he said. Him and his mum and dad were from up Caithness Wick/Thurso way. I was born in Peterhead and like the idea that my daughters are descendents of Flora. |
| william McDonald Aug 21 2007 | I really enjoyed spending some time in the outer hebrides a while back, visiting south uist where a branch of my ancestors lived (great-grandad and family. So beautiful, sooo windswept...saw the beach where the real `whiskey galore` wreck sent a bottle or two..eriscay. Go visit the most beautiful of hebriddean-heavan islands JURA There`s a very lovely, very alive Flora McDonald there in Craighouse. I am however, really struggling to do a genealogy of my McDonald family tree branch...get back to 1650 with my maternal line..McCartney-Summers but need to get in touch with long ignored relations to get even started on my (long deceased dad`s side) THE FLORA McDONALD LINE...I would love to draw in evidence based procision. Maybe you could help me louise, as a fellow distantly related body and soul. |
| Teresa Barrell Sep 13 2007 | Flora has always been my heroine, I`m a decendent of the Barrell`s that fought at culloden. (a stone mark the spot were we perished)I live down south, but return regualy and have traced Flora`s journey with Bonnie Price Charles. I find it wonderfull that her ancestors are still outhere. |
| William Duncan Warren Jan 24 2008 | Thanks for the info on the Rocky Saugeen. I will use it as a search term in Rootsweb.com and Google to help locate ancestors. My maternal grandfather Rev. Duncan MacDonald Olmstead, died in 1969, always claimed that his mother Flora May McDonald was a direct descendant of the more famous Flora through a line including a son or grandson that fought in the Black Watch at Waterloo. Records indicate that my gr.grandm. was born in Brock Ontario in 1849 even though she was a native speaker of Gaelic. My grandfather never mentioned that the more famous Flora and her husband were Loyalists in north Carolina before moving back to Scotland. |
