Donald Mac Kinnon

Donald Mac Kinnon, born at Malpeque Road and baptized at St. Paul's Church in Charlottetown in 1816, is likely part of the Prince Edward Island McKinnon line connected to Margaret Mac Kennon, the spouse of Walter George Ponceby. The 1844 marriage register documents Donald McKinnon marrying Elizabeth Jardine, and later Boston and Ohio records in the archive name Donald McKinnon and Elizabeth Jardine as parents in the same broader family cluster. This lead keeps that connection open without promoting Donald to a canonical person record before user review.

Why this is not settled yet

1815 –

Does an accepted source directly establish Donald Mac Kinnon and Elizabeth Jardine as parents of Margaret Mac Kennon/Ponceby?
Are there PEI baptism or census records listing children of Donald McKinnon and Elizabeth Jardine, including Margaret, John Duncan, or Donald G. McKinnon?
Is the Mac Kinnon/McKinnon/Mac Kennon surname variation consistent across original records for this family?

Notes

Lead created on 22 April 2026 while ingesting Transcript-26.pdf and Transcript-27.pdf.
On 23 April 2026, a PARO parent-filter search for father Donald McKinnon and mother Elizabeth found an online baptismal-index candidate for Margaret Ann McKinnon, baptized 19 October 1868 at Hampton, with residence/place of birth recorded as DeSable. The index does not give Elizabeth's surname, so it is a lead-level child-link clue only.
Do not update any canonical person record based on this lead alone.

Compiled Island Register genealogy page for descendants of Archibald McKinnon of DeSable. The page repeats the PARO baptismal-index details for Margaret Ann McKinnon, daughter of Donald McKinnon and Elizabeth, baptized 19 October 1868 at Hampton, places her in a Donald McKinnon and Elizabeth McKay family, and then assigns that same candidate to a Harvey John Risteen marriage and Massachusetts census path. Treat this as a conflict lead until original marriage, census, death, and baptism-register records are checked.
