I am desparately searching for anyone who may have information regarding a previous marriage for "Long Daniel" McRae before his marriages to Sarah McKenzie and Catherine McDonald. Due to the age of Daniel and his subsequent wives, I believe my gggg grandfather and his brother were his oldest step-sons, and the biological half-brothers of Farquhar along with three sisters, unknown and Catherine b. 1785/1790 and Christian b.1790/1795. According to census, it looks as if Sarah McKenzie is Daniel's second (or more likely) third wife and Catherine the fourth. If there is anyone who has heard that "Long Daniel" may have been married prior to Sarah or any rumors that older step- or half-siblings existed for this family, any news would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Diane
