My great great grandparents resided in Ozark Co., (Gainesville). They were JOHN WILSON MCDONALD and MARY JANE MOONEY MCDONALD. They came to Ozark Co in 1872 where they purchased land from one SOLOMON STOUT. (on record in the Gainesville Court House). Apparently John Wilson died in 1874. Mary Jane continued to live in the area. She is listed in the MO census of 1880 (Ozark Co) as head of the family. She continued to farm in the area. They were the parents of the following known children--John Henry (my great grandfather), William V., George W., Wilson, Mary Nora. Their descendants lived in the area for many years, including Beulah, Shelby, 'F lay, Ray Curtis, Alva Dean, James E. and Glennie. Mary Nora married Jesse Wood. In searching for their gravesites I found that Mary Jane and John Wilson were apparently buried in the Gainesville Cemetery. I searched it rather thoroughly and was unable to locate them. Other McDonalds are buried there with stones. I have done quite a bit of research on this family (My maternal line). Would appreciate any further information on the family. Bobby C. Watson P. O.
