Looking for ANN MORRISON from the Cleveland area of Richmond Co. married to DONALD MACPHEE of MacPhee Islands (then Indian Islands )near Northside East Bay. Ann died Dec. 12/1920, out-living Donald by close to fifty years. Donald was born in PEI around 1785 and died at MacPhee Islands on Oct 6/1869. Their son Michael(the youngest of 8 or 9 children ), was born around 1851 and considering their ages at that time it's highly likely that she was his second wife. Family lore also has it that Donald's first wife and a child drowned when their boat capsized on a trip from Eskasoni(Indian Islands) to either Big Pond or Ben Eoin. Any help would be greatly appreciated. .
