Fred,
Thank you for the input. My only clue of his residence at the moment are US
Census records for his son, Joseph, who reported being born in Albany Co., NY.
That would have been around 1780 based on Joseph's reported age for the
census, and ten years after John McDonald's arrival from Scotland per the 1901
MI newspaper article.
So, anyplace in the geographical area considered Albany by the populace at the
time would be possible.
Thanks for the insight.
Dave McDonald
