Wondering if cousins out there know for certain about the wives of William Alexander McDonald, who (suppossedly)as his 1st wife was married to Elizabeth BEARDEN, then as his
2nd wife was Rachel BURDON, whom may well have been his 1st wife’s sister. Spelling wasn’t fixed in those days-they spelled last names as they wished or as they heard them. This was in late 1700s in VA, then early 1800s w/2nd wife in KY, in Bourbon county. Any concrete evidence out there? Thanx cousins for any help or ideas!- Jerry Leonard
BEARDEN, Elizabeth & (sister?) BURDON/Rachel
