Pvt. Donald was born in Lanark Township, Lanark County, Ontario about 1826. I have failed to establish an exact DOB but I'm pretty sure he was the youngest of seven children who I have dated fairly accurately so an 1826 DOB must be very close. He moved (with his brother-in-law Thomas Forsyth) to Lambton County, Ontario in 1839, to Galesburg, Michigan in 1843, to Nauvoo in 1845 and evacutated with the Forsyth family in March 1846. There is an IGI posting that says he died 05 Nov 1847 (no POD given). His name appears on the Batallion Memorial in Union Cemetery at Salt Lake City among those who "died along the trail from Iowa to California in 1846-1848 and lie in unknown graves" .

In this vicinity he served as County Commissioner and Judge of the Probate Court. He held high office in the Oregon State Grange and was eminently a man of affairs.
