    Notes 
    • Paula Jones and Stacey Burton both show him as John Quincy McDonald, and as a son of Robert Knoles McDonald and Ann Elizabeth Latham. This seems unlikely, as John was born in Scotland in 1823, and all of the children of Robert Knoles McDonald, and Ann Elizabeth Latham were born between 1820 and 1832 in Louisiana.

      Additonally, Alison Raborn posted the following note to the McDonald Family Genealogy Forum on August 12, 2010:

      When Margaret Ann [McDONALD] Bossier, daughter of Robert Knoles & Ann Elizabeth [LATHAM] McDonald, died her husband Sylvestre DeBrune Bossier married Narcissa [WALDROP] McDonald. Narcissa's FIRST husband was John Quincy McDonald. John Quincy McDonald is NOT the father, son, or brother of Robert Knoles McDonald. Here is why: 1850 Sabine Parish Louisiana Census (www.census-online.com)dwelling # 041a41 list the following McDonald family: John, age 27, born in Scotland, Narcissa, age 22, Claiborne, age 5, Betty, age 3, Robert K., age 1, born in Alabama. IN THE SAME CENSUS,but on p.24, dwelling# 095a95 there is listed McDonald, R.K., age 52, born in South Carolina; wife Elizabeth, age 45, born in Louisiana.

      Also in the Sabine Parish Louisiana Marriage Records has R.K. McDonald, Justice of Peace, married his granddaughter Louisiana Bossier to a Franklin ALLEN on January 10, 1856. AND R.K.McDonald and Elizabeth's daughter, oldest child, Margaret Ann was born in 1820; therefore her father could not have been 1 year old in 1850. I don't know where in South Carolina R.K McDonald came from, but Narcissa WALDROP's father Claiborne Parish Waldrop and family came from South Carolina's 95th District Newberry County, and showed up in Louisiana about same time R.K. McDonald did. If anyone has any South Carolina information please contact me!

    • Kathy Casagranda also shows them as the parents of John Lawrence McDonal and Francis McDonald. Could these children have died young? They are not with their mother and her second husband, Sylvestre Bossier, as the time of the 1860 census.
