Notes
a. Note:   who left Ireland on a sailing ship headed for America. The ship'scaptain, overwhelmed by having so many Irish aboard with similiarsounding names, asked these three brothers to temporarily drop the(O') from their name while on the sea voyage. The brothers weretherefore referred to as the Donald brothers. So in the earlier years,here in America, neither Henry, his wife Mary, nor their childrencould read nor write. Henry signed his will as Henry O'Donald; hiswife's was signed Mary Donnell and witnessed by her son Henry Donel.Sons Charles and John used Donnell. Then in later years Charles beganusing Daniel.

Note:   !Around 1770 there were three Irish brothers, last name of O'Donald,
