Catherine and her husband, Angus MacDonald, emigrated in 1774 to North
Carolina, and bought a plantation on Crain''s Creek in the present Moore
County. He became involved in the Highland Rising, and received a
Captain''s commission in the Highland Army. [LOYALIST PAPERS in Public
Office, London.] He was captured at Moore''s Creek on 27th February
1776, exchanged, and finally returned to Scotland. It is stated in
Robinson''s HISTORY OF MOORE COUNTY [Appendix D, pp. 204-5]] that he
settled in Nova Scotia, where his descendants became prominent in the
political life of that province and of Canada, but, according to CLAN
DONALD [III, pp. 485-7], he was at Balranald, North Uist, in 1783. His
sons, however, may have gone from North Carolina to Nova Scotia.
