Notes for Donald MacRae:
Ancestor had previously been listed as Duncan MacRae. This information has been changed after having receiving an e-mail from Larry Cates who is descended from Finley of Donald and Ann Cameron MacRae:
Of course, I disagree strongly with Lawrence MacRae's assertion that the parents of Nancy and Margaret and the rest were named Duncan and Ann Cameron MacRae. He actually based his book title on that conclusion, but, as it turns out, the ancestor was named "Donald" not "Duncan." This can be proven using a particular Cumberland County (NC) deed by which Alexander MacRae (then of Orange Co., NC) sells his interest in his father "Donald's" estate in Fayetteville to Duncan MacRae of Fayetteville his (Alexander's) brother. Alexander later moved off to Maury County, TN,
where he died. He or someone in his family transcribed material from an earlier bible record into his own bible and then added the dates of Alexander's family. So, from it, we know the names of Alexander's parents (Donald and Ann) and a full list of siblings (more than those listed by Lawrence MacRae): Duncan, Roderick, Finley, Christopher, Farquhar, Elizabeth, Mary and Margaret. (BTW Donald does seem to have had a brother named Duncan who moved with him to North Carolina but ended up living in Montgomery/Richmond County. I descend from both Duncan and Donald.)
In the presentation copy of Lawrence MacRae's book given to the State Library in Raleigh, NC, he added several pages of type on onionskin which indicated to me that he found the Bible in Maury Co., TN, before he died. He added the names of the missing children and gave the death dates of the parents from that Bible, but he was too embarrassed, I think, to change the name Duncan to Donald--since the title bore the error and he did not wish to reprint the whole thing. It is a shame. I feel for him. It was so hard to make corrections before the word processor came along.
Ann (Cameron?) MacRae's maiden name was not confirmed by the Bible, but because the name Cameron is used so frequently in Duncan (her son's) family, I believe that must be right. I've also found parish records from Strathglass in Scotland (where the Bible says Alexander MacRae was born) for a family of Camerons which includes an Ann of the proper age. It may
or may not be her family.
******************************
More information from Larry Cates. Donald was living in Fayetteville, North Carolina by 1788. MacRae was a tailor with a shop on Dick and Gillespie Streets. His son Finley, my ancestor, was also a tailor, sharing his shop for a while and then moving off to Montgomery County where his wife's family lived.
Children of Donald MacRae and Ann Cameron are:
ii. Roderick MacRae, born November 1764; died April 08, 1850; married Margaret MacRae; born Abt. 1777; died August 1842. Roderick moved first to Robeson County, North Carolina and then settled in Marlboro County, South Carolina.
iii. Alexander MacRae, born June 14, 1766 in Strathglass, Scotland; died December 27, 1843; married Rachel Helton September 08, 1796; born January 1773 in Orange County, North Carolina; died September 15, 1823. Alexander moved to Orange County, North Carolina and married. He then moved to Duck River, Maury County.
iv. Findley MacRae, born Abt. 1768; died Abt. 1817; married Flora MacRae. Moved to Montgomery County, North Carolina in the mid 1790's. He had previously married Flora MacRae, daughter of Duncan MacRae of Montgomery County.
v. Duncan MacRae, born May 16, 1769 in Strathglass, Invernesshire, Scotland; died February 10, 1837; married Rhoda Young Abt. 1790 in Fayetteville, North Carolina; born Abt. 1773; died January 06, 1854. He was clerk in the US Revenue office in Hillsboro, NC under Col Polk. Afterwards he was appointed Postmaster in Fayetteville, being at the same time Inspector of US Revenue. He was also Cashier of the NC Bank at Fayetteville and operated a line of boats on the Cape Fear River.
From an e-mail from Larry Cates who descends from Donald and Ann Cameron MacRae: On the Cameron issue there was a wealthy planter in Orange County named Duncan Cameron. He was one of the wealthiest men in North Carolina before the Civil War, was involved in state politics, etc. He was also involved in the Bank of North Carolina and as the director, wrote a letter appointing Duncan MacRae (son of Donald and Ann) as cashier of the Bank in Fayetteville. Duncan MacRae actually lived for a while in Orange County working as a customs agent in Hillsboro in the 1790's. That may have been related to Duncan Cameron's influence there and certainly, that was when your Margaret, his sister, married her husband Henry Cook. Their brother Alex MacRae passed through there as well, as I have already stated, before he moved to Tennessee. I found out that Duncan Cameron's father was an
episcopal minister in Virginia named John Cameron and was about the same age as Ann Cameron MacRae. In that family in Strathglass I mentioned earlier, Ann did have a brother named John. I have often wondered if Duncan Cameron and Duncan MacRae were first cousins.
vi. Mary MacRae, born December 20, 1770.
vii. Nancy or Ann MacRae, born March 15, 1773; married Duncan McLean. Thought to have been in Moore County after her marriage.
viii. Christopher MacRae, born July 24, 1777 in Fayetteville, North Carolina; died Abt. 1798. Lost at sea between Wilmington, North Carolina and the West Indies.
127 ix. Margaret MacRae, born July 1779; married Henry Cook.
x. Farquhar MacRae, born December 20, 1781. Did not marry. Killed in a big fire in Wilmington, North Carolina in 1819 and is buried at St. James Cemetery.
