I am searching for information on a MACK McDONALD, born 1874-1875 Brown County, Indiana.
Parents John McDonald & Sarah Dew McDonald
Married Myrtle Laurel Young 1901
I have a 'missing' Mack McDonald in my tree, and I am hoping to connect my Indiana line to this West Virginia line. There are many similarities between them, I just need to find 'the smoking gun' ;)
I ignored the West Virginia 'Mack McDonald' until I discovered a sister Hattie McDonald Hupp, also living in this area.
1907 - daughter Iris McDonald born in WV
There are several census records that place Mack McDonald in West Viriginia's Randolph County in 1920, and Barbour County in 1930. There is also a WWI Draft Registration that places him in Ellamore, Randolph County. The Census information says he is a 'millright', many of the Indiana conections are also millrights.
Using the SSDI I found a Mack McDonald born in Indiana, SSI Registration state was West Virigina, but he died in Washington DC in 1966 (that baffles me).
Would appreciate anyone who can shed some light on this information. Particularly interested in an Obituary, or other records that may help me connect the two lines.
