I have a draft copy of a deposition in it, it states that Elizabeth Wilson Fowler was the mother of Alexander Fraser McDonald. The document states that he was the son of Archibald McDonald, and that Archibald had two brothers, Alexander and John. The letter states that John encouraged Elizabeth to name Alexander after the uncle not the father, leading me to believe that Archibald was dead or denying claim to an illegitimate son. It states that Alexander was deceased and that John had died in Suriname. It further states that the Alexander Fraser MacDonald had two aunts, Elizabeth and a Mary Anne. Mary Anne was married to Charles Rae. According to the deposition there were no other children to the authors knowledge. My research shows that there was a John McDonald who served in Suriname with the British Army, he died in 1806. So Elizabeth Wilson Fowler lived in Mill Brex Fyvie at least then and maybe a few years longer.
