Donald Matheson Emigrated 1830 Lot 67, Queens, Prince Edward Island, Canada
1821"“1901
BIRTH 8 JANUARY 1821 "¢ Lairg, Scotland
DEATH 1901? "¢ Springton, Prince Edward Island, Canada
2nd great-grandfather

I have several poems Donald wrote about his wife's passing in 1879 and also his thoughts as he was entering his 80th year. I do not know for sure his death date other than it had to be shortly after 1900.
I do know know what happened to him or his wife Minnie or where they are buried. Only some guessing but nothing factual. Would love to know who is real father and mother were also.

Have plenty of information on his children but not on Donald and Minnie.

Would appreciate an expert at this point to help me get past the proverbial wall.

Best regards,

Jon Arno
