Donald’s of Panola County, Texas |
|
Welcome to my family’s genealogy homepage. This website catalogs the history of the branch of the Donald Family that settled in Panola County, Texas. On this website you will find pictures, artifacts and information from the family history. I have done my best to provide documentation of the information provided here. I am the Great Grand Daughter of John B Donald Sr. in this direct line… Patricia Lynne Donald Mims DOB: 05/16/1960 John Robert Donald DOB: 07/27/1932—DOD: 12/22/1978 John Benjamin Donald Jr DOB: 03/21/1896—DOD: 10/18/1968 John Benjamin Donald Sr DOB: 01/13/1857—DOD: 06/01/1939 Rufus H Donald DOB: ~1820 Notes These generations were reported by Carla Goodloe carlagoodloe@hotmail.com Details Elijah Donald, b ca 1790 in SC, d before 1840 in FL Notes Simon S Donald, b ca 1760 in VA, d aft 1820 Hezekiah Donald, b ca 1736, d ca 1816 Monroe Co, Alabama Notes Alexander Donald, b ca 1710 in Scotland Notes Wife: Grizel Giels, b ca 1714 in Glasgow, Scotland The generations before Alexander on the following document Line Comparison are provided by the Clan Donald and are posted on www.ancestry.com. There are two trees on Ancestry.com for Alexander Donald, b ca 1710 Scotland with spouse Grizel Giels. Both ultimately end up in the same place with a few minor diversons along the way. They both end with Somerled b ca 1100, with one tree extending on two additional generations to Gill Lord de Colonsay b after 1065 but before 1170. While this information is fun to contemplate, my personal research has not yet managed to confirm and document information beyond Simon S Donald in 1760. This website is a labor of love dedicated to the memory of my parents, John Robert Donald & Kathleen Loretta Burkett Donald, whose loss is daily keenly felt, but I have every confidence that we will meet again in heaven. This site is also dedicated to the memory of my proud Donald ancestors, both those I knew and those I never met, whose lives, histories and tenacity helped shaped me into a successful adult. Special thanks also to Mary Lee Knight and Gloria Mayfield, both of whom keep the genealogical flames of Panola County burning brightly. Without their help I could never have stumbled my way through gathering much of this information. Thanks also to other Donald Researchers who have always been willing to share information and ideas. If you are or think you may be a relative, please feel free to contact me. I would love to tie together as much of our family history as is possible into one place for future generations. If you are a Donald Researcher, feel free to use any information I have posted here, but please be courteous and credit the source. Patricia Lynne Donald Mims |
