They moved to the State of Arkansas for some reason or other and he died with the fever while they lived there, the place is not known to me. She sold what she had and moved back to Alabama.

was still living, but her mother had died, so she kept house for her father until he died. (She later married a Mr. Hubbard and had one son, Thomas Edmund, who had a mercantile in Opp, Ala. His wife
Gypsie, has been instrumental, in gathering information for Betty Reed)" [1971 Notes on the DONALDSON Family by Thomas L. Donaldson, Montgomery, Alabama with notes in ( ) by Betty Donaldson Reed].
