Donald McEachron (born MacEachern) of the Isle of Islay, Scotland, married Anna McDonald (b MacDonald) and both sailed, with daughter Catharine, on the first ship of the Captain Lauchlin Campbell party, July 1738, forNew York City.� Donald was apparently dead in 1763 but his widow was living in 1774.� They settled on the Kakiate Patent, Orange County, New York.� They had two additional daughters (Florence and Flora).� They had three sons (John, Cornelius, and Peter) who had 24 children between them.� One of the 24 grandchildren, Daniel McEachron (3rd generation) changed the spelling to McEathron.� We believe that all McEathrons are his descendants.� Several other descendants changed their spelling to McEchron and MacEachron (in two cases "to avoid being mistaken for Irish").
