| Gender | male |
| Age at Death | 78 years, 9 months, 29 days |
Notes
Note
No proof that Donald belongs with Gilbert and Kitty!
Donald was not in the PEI Baptismal Index. However, he named his second son Gilbert, and he was born on the Island. Kitty Forbes' father was Donald Forbes, and you would expect this couple to name their first or second son Donald.
Donald was living in the same area of New Brunswick as Catherine (Forbes) McArthur, a widow.
The family would have been in NB from the 1840s onward, but the records for the 1852 NB census were not available for Kent county.
The information about Donald and Isabella's children was verified in census and other records.
In the 1861 census:
Donald Mc Arthur 48 - born PEI 1813
Isabella Mc Arthur 41 - born Scotland
Jane Mc Arthur 18 - all of their children born NB
William Mc Arthur 16
Gilbert Mc Arthur 15
Mary Mc Arthur 14
Lilly Mc Arthur 9
Isabella Mc Arthur 5
Donald Mc Arthur 1
It seem likely that this Donald is the widower Donald McArthur age 51, born PEI, in the 1871 census of Kent, New Brunswick. Also in the household were Gilbert (22), Mary (20), Isabella (12) and Donald (9).
By 1881, Donald was living with his second wife, Catherine. In the 1891 census, Donald said his father was born in Scotland and his mother on the Island.
