Hi All, including Joy. The 8th Chief of Glengarry Scotland, Donald McDonell, married daughter of 9th Chief of Clan Ranald [a MacDonald], and their sons headed the McDonell lines [that we in Glengarry Ontario Canada, still refer to as] Leek, Collachie, Aberchalder, Ardnabie, Scotus, Lundie, etc., McDonell lines. These were Catholic [many were Officers at Culloden], and emigrated enmass to NY, in 1773 on Ship "Pearl", later [after Rev War] resettled Glengarry Ontario. This Donald McDonell 8th Chief Glengarry, had daughter Catherine McDonell who married Duncan Grant 1630 1730, who was 1st GRANT to hold Wadset of Duldraeggan Glenmoriston [he was Protestant] and when this Duncan died in 1730, the Courts declared his great-grandson Aeneas/ Angus Grant 1702 1779 to be his Heir at Law. This Aeneas/ Angus Grant was married to Hannah Grant 1717 1801, mentioned in Joy's earlier Post. I believe Aeneas/ Angus' brother was John Roy Grant b. abt. 1704, was Transported to Caribbean and probably did not return, but fathered Joy's Alexander Grant [and Donald Grant Sr. Lot 13 SBR]. This makes these McDonell and Grant cousins who intermarried often. Cheers J.
