Descendants of Hugh MacDonald

Generation No. 1

1.  HUGH¹ MACDONALD was born Abt. 1830, and died Bet. 1877 - 1880.  He married CATHERINE MACLEOD Abt. 1857, daughter of ALEXANDER MACLEOD.  She was born January 1834 in Scotland, and died January 4, 1912 in French Road, Cape Breton.

Notes for CATHERINE MACLEOD:

In 1848 the passinger list for the ship Lulan shows McDonald's, McIntyre and McLeod's coming from Glasgow Scotland to Pictou.  The captain and pare owner of the ship was a George McKenzie.  I feel that the 3 families may have traveled together on the ship and settled close to each other and that is why I can't find any records of them in Canada before late 1800's

On Effies death cert they have Christina as Catherine.
