John Macdonald or MacSween

[The Mountie]

Does anybody have any knowledge of John Macdonald alias MacSween, weaver, Inverness, who is shown in the list of 1812 burgesses as being able to carry out his business in the town.
He swore allegiance re this, and paid his tax on 11 January 1796.
A John Macdonald, weaver, married Mary Fraser in Inverness 1776. I’m thinking they are the same person.
I’m also thinking this is the same person who appears as John Macdonald alias MacQueen in Kirkhill, Inverness, in marriage certificate to Mary Chisholm, and thereafter  birth records for the couples’s children, again sometimes with the alias.
To further confuse matters the couple had a child Sween born 1805, who died young, then another  child, also Sween in 1810
