This is the family of Nancy Hutton and James Wray Donaldson. James is the brother to my Joseph Russell Donaldson. James was born 20 November 1833 in Northern Ireland. Some list it as Bredie in County Tyrone. But I don’t have any documentation that even confirms that as yet. Same issue for my Joseph. James immigrated to Ontario Province, Canada. He appears for the first time on the 1861 in Pittsburgh, Frontenac, Ontario. It was in Joyceville, Frontenac, Ontario that he married Nancy Hutton. All 13 of his children were born in Pittsburgh or Joyceville. He was a farmer his entire life. It was in Pittsburgh he died 19 October 1907.

Nancy Hutton was born 9 May 1842 on Amherst Island, Lennox and Addington, Ontario, the 6th of 7 children of Archibald and Sarah Waddell Hutton. After James’ death she moved to Kingston with her daughter Catherine. It was in Kingston, Frontenac, Ontario that she passed 12 May 1933.

James and Nancy are both buried in the Sand Hill Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Joyceville.
