Re: Some history of the Watterson family

Hello, Watersons

I'm descended from a Waterson about whom I virtually nothing. I'm hoping someone might know how to attach her to the Greater Waterson Universe.

She was Ellinor Waterson who, according to the Mormon IGI, married John McDonald. I don't know the dates or places of Ellinor or John's births, marriage or deaths. HOWEVER!, they had a daughter, Joney McDonald, who was christened 24 May, 1730, at Kirk Rushen on the Isle of Man.

Based on the year of Joney's birth, I can only guess that her parents were then in their mid-twenties -- and, therefore, that Ellinor Waterson McDonald may have been born in approximately 1705.
