Hello,
I don't think that what I found in Carolina Scots refers much to your
forenames.
However there is some on the McDonalds.
I thought maybe it might help.

Another Scots highland family that was surveyed was in the Pee Dee area of
South Carolina. It is part of the larger McDonald connection which lived
between Longstreet and Galatia Presbyterian Churches in the original Cape
fear settlement of North Carolina. Most of the information on this family
comes from a booklet on the McDonald family written in the early 1920's.owned
by Jeannette McDonald Stone, and available in the genealogy vertical file of
N.C. State library in Raleigh.Informtion on the Dillon County branch of this
family can also be found in Mary Belle M.Bethea's Ancestral key to the Pee
Dee.

The head of this family was Neil McDonald who with his wife and 3 sons,
emigrated from the Isle of Skye to N.C. in 1802 . They settled about 9 miles
north of Fayetteville, near Galatia Church in Cumberland County. His wife was
a Finlayson.They had:
