| Notes for Donald MACKENZIE |
Although unsubstantiated, family lore says that William MacKenzie had a son Donald, the first-born male in Nova Scotia. This "Nova Scotia" Donald may have been named for this brother who perished onboard the Sarah. Daniel and Donald were used interchangeably as the same name.
William McKenzie's brother was also called Donald. He remained in Scotland and William lost contact with him when he left for Nova Scotia on the Sarah in 1801. No letters survive. Since postage was to be paid by the recipient of the letter, maybe William did not have the money to pay for and claim the letters. The family seems to have been literate and from the Account of Margaret Bramson the children of William MacKenzie and Flora MacMillan soon became trilingual upon their arrival in Nova Scotia in 1801. They were fluent in Gaelic, English and Micmac, the language of their indigenous neighbors.
There is one Donald MacKenzie married on 27 January 1831 to Elspet McIntosh, East Branch, East River. |

| I really do not know if Elspet McIntosh married Donald MacKenzie. This must be verified. |
