My Family Tree

Possible this Donald was the son of John or Alexander McFadyen from Mull, Scotland? I might not have the right Donald for this family.

He was born in Scotland, in 1801, according to the 1881 census. In that census, he was a widower, living with Neil and Catherine McFadyen - most likely his son and daughter in law. He was not living with them in 1891.

Examiner -- 19001123 -- Page 02 Friday November 23, 1900 ...respected and aged farmer, Hector McFayden, Esq., of West River, inthe 91st year of his age. Mr. McFadyen is tall in stature and a look will convince you of his powerful build, being a survivor of the strong men of the past generation. His mental vigor is good, and being a man of intelligence, he is able with excellent judgment to review and dis- cuss matters affecting the interests of the people ...Mr McFadyen's brother Hugh, at Georgetown, is two years older and a supporter of Mr. Gordon; his brother Donald, dead some years ago, arrived at the great age of nearly 99 years.
