Vann's, Ross' & McDonalds lived in the Lauren's Co. area, and then moved to what became North Georgia in Rossville and Springplace until 1838. In 1838 John McDonald is at Ft. Loudoun, Tennessee. John McDonald who is mentioned in Isaac Sharps will is listed in the book"Scots in the Carolinas 1680-1830". I found John McDonald on pg.. 143. It says:"McDONALD JOHN, Born in Inverness during 1747. Emigrated from Scotland to America in 1766. Merchant in Charleston, SC. Married Annie Shorey."
