MARRIAGE: DAVID DONNAN, Galway, NY TO: Jane Milroy, Wigtownshire, Scotland There were two children: Mary E. and John A. David, ninth child of Jeannette, born December 3, 1809 at Galway, NY educated in their district school till he was grown up. His two older brothers in western New York were doing well on farms and that was what he wanted to do so in 1830 when he was 21 he packed his trunk and went out there. At Galway, Wigtownshire, Sootland there was a family by the name of Milroy; they decided to come to U. S. A. in 1818 and they settled in Livingston County. They had a daughter, Jane, born in Scotland, February 16, 1816 so was 14 when David first met her. As the years followed they became friends and were married in 1814 and settled on a farm near Liecester, Livingston County, NY. This was near his brother Andrew's farm and only a few miles from John's. Here they all proved themselves worthy of the name Donnan. The two children were added pleasure to the home that overlooked the Genesee Valley and were soon sent to school, where they did their part in the stunts to be performed. Jane, rather early in life was taken sick and it proved fatal June 13, 1857 at the age of 41. Interment was in Pleasant Valley Cemetery, York, NY. The children were a great help and comfort to their father. Some years later they moved to a farm near Cuylerville, NY and David took his letter from the Covenanter Church at York, NY where he had been an Elder for years, to the Cuylerville Church where he was elected an Elder, serving till his death. He was a tall man, of good health, temperate in his habits and loved country life. On February 16, 1890 his call came at the age of 81. Interment was at Pleasant Valley Cemetery, York, NY.
