Note on William Colbert McDonald from granddaughter Rachel Richardson Lauramore.
"I don't know much about my granddaddy William Colbert McDonald except that he was a good man. He didn't talk about himself very much. He did tell his family that he and his brother Charles Lawton McDonald were adopted when they were small boys by a man and a woman named Lasaine (could be spelled wrong). But they let Lawton and William keep their family name McDonald. I don't know where they were from, but my granddaddy talked about making snow balls when he was a boy and lived in North Carolina.
Uncle Lawton was older than William about two years, and he joined the army when he was old enough. William couldn't stand to see him go off and leave him but he wasn't quite old enough to go off to the army. So he told the (them military) he was 19 years old, and they let him join. Both brothers served during the Spanish American War.
