Matthew Pennell Jr. (son of Matthew Pennell and Agnes Trefry) was
married to Jane Brooks whose daughter Ann Pennell married Thomas
McDonald. It is this line that I am researching as my husband is
descended from Thomas McDonald. I have info on their children. Really
trying to find info on Thomas McDonald i.e. parents, where born and
when, also date of marriage to Ann Pennell and location.
