Descendants of James "Edward" MacDonald

HANTS COUNTY, NOVA SCOTIA

(With some Kings Co., N.S. connections)

James "Edward" McDonald, son of Jeremiah "Darby" & Hannah McDonald, was my Great-Great Grandfather. He lived in a pioneer cabin and later built what became known as the MacDonald Farm in Falmouth, Hants Co., N.S. This home, with it's large hand-hewn beams was still standing until just a few years ago. Not much is known about his wife, Dorothy. James "Edward" & Dorothy M(a)cDonald are buried at Falmouth Center Cemetery, Falmouth, Hants Co., N.S., along with son Steward and daughter Margaret. Their son, James "Edward" II and his wife Laura (Fuller) M(a)cDonald are buried there also. Three of their sons left Nova Scotia for the States. One son, Norman, was an artist and photographer with his own gallery in Illinios. James "Edward" and Laura M(a)cDonald inherited the family farm at Falmouth and went on to raise three sons.
