In her will, dated 1843, Mary McGougan Ramsay mentioned an agreement dated 1835 that named six of her sons: Donald Ramsay, Neil Ramsay, Archibald Ramsay, William Ramsay, John Ramsay and David Ramsay

She goes on to say that she agreed to pay a sum to four sons: William, Neil, Archibald and John Ramsay. John and David Ramsay were given her Pew in the Prince Town Church. Dugald Ramsay was an executor. But there was no mention of Donald in the second document. Unlike the original agreement, only his brother David is called upon to pay his brothers an amount of money on his mother's death.

There was a Donald Ramsay who married Barbara McArthur Oct 24 1833. If he had died before 1843, then he could have been Barbara McArthur's first husband - she was a widow when she married Humphrey Dyment Jr.
