Mary Isabella's mother died when she was 6 years old and she lived with the Moore's. Her sister Margaret Elizabeth Magee went to live with her aunt Margaret Burgess McDonald in North East, Pa.

      Margaret and James McDonald are my great grandparents. As you can see, my name is spelled MacDonald. Due to a riff in the family, some spell it different. The original spelling is Mac!!!
