William G. McDonald, an enterprising farmer of Gosfield South, is a descendant of one of the pioneer settlers on the Talbot Road in the township of Tilbury East.
     John McDonald, his grandfather, was born in the Highlands of Scotland, and there married Mary Calhoon... In 1815, accompanied by his wife and five children, he set sail for America, their destination being Canada. After a long voyage of more than sixteen weeks, they reached the Canadian port, came to Long Point, and very soon went farther west, locating on the Talbot Road, in Tilbury East, where the grandfather took up 200 acres of land through the government agent... His children were as follows: Hugh; ...
     Hugh McDonald was born Jan 8, 1801, in Scotland, and was fourteen years old when he came to Canada. Being the eldest son, he came into possession of the land taken up by his father. He assisted in placing the first buildings thereon, and occupied them when he began for himself, continuing on this place until it was improved, when he traded for a farm at Harrow, which he later sold. Nearly sixty years ago he bought 230 acres in Mersea township, partly cleared, Lot 13, Concession 2. He dealt extensively in land, and owned a large body. He cleared all of his land, being a man of great industry. His death occurred June 3, 1891. For many years he was a class-leader in the Methodist Church. His first marriage was to a Miss Williams... Mr. McDonald's second marriage was to Anna Sheldon, a daughter of Joseph Sheldon, who was born on Talbot street, in Mersea township, and the children of this union were: ... William G., of this sketch;...
     William G. McDonald was born Aug. 27, 1861, on his present place, and there passed his boyhood, assisting on the farm and attending the local schools. He was reared to be a farmer, and in the course of time came into possession of an eighty-acre farm, on which he rebuilt the house and made many substantial improvements.
     In 1885 Mr. McDonald married Georgiana Fox, daughter of George and Julia (Quick) Fox, the former of whom was born March 13, 1838, and the latter Oct. 2, 1840. They reside at Chatham, Ont., and their children are: William, a farmer in Muskegon County, Michigan, who married Sarah Whitsel; Georgiana, born April 4, 1865; Philemon, of Louisiana; and Allen, of Ravenna, Michigan, who married Emma Tupper.
     Mr. and Mrs. McDonald had these children: Flossie Annetta, born Aug. 17, 1888; Hugh Carlton, July 19, 1891; William Hadley, April 19, 1894; Malcolm Duncan, March 20, 1896; Georgiana Hazel, April 2, 1898; and Alvin Grant, Sept. 19, 1901 (died Sept. 28, 1902). The family is connected with the Leamington Presbyterian Church.
     Prior to settling on his present property Mr. McDonald was engaged in teaming at Ruthven for seven years. He is extensively engaged at present in general farming and tobacco and fruit growing, prospering as an industrious agriculturist richly deserves. Politically he is a Reformer. Fraternally he holds membership in Beaver Lodge, No. 82, I.O.O.F., at Ruthven, and in Erie Encampment.
