General note
According to census records, Ronald "Mór" MacDonald was born around 1801 and was a tenant at Lionacleit in Benbecula, on the estate of Clanranald. As stated by the factor to Clanranald in his character reference, Ronald had relatives in Prince Edward Island, including two sisters that were supposedly living there in 1828, the year of his emigration. He married Mairead Steele of East Bay and had nine children. In the East Bay and Big Pond areas, the family were known as the "Bornish" MacDonalds after their relationship to that branch of Clanranald in Uist.
