Roderick was born Carnan, South Uist, Inverness-shire.
A Short History of the Pioneer Scotch Settlers of St. Andrews, Sask by James N. MacKinnon; 1922 (pg 3)
Roderick McDonald of Lionacleit, Benbecula, and his wife Mary, nee McRury, aged 57 and 48 respectively (in 1883). Their family consisted of six children, ranging in age from 20 to 7, named as follows: James, Jane, Donald, Malcolm, Norman, and Mary Alexandra. An excellent, well-balanced family who prospered well on our western prairies. All are married except Donald (Dan), and four have fine large families. In fact this branch of the clan is in no danger of becoming extinct.
James had two sons in the war and both came through safe. Another son was accidentally drowned while bathing in the Pipestone River some fifteen years ago.
As riches are counted in our farming communities, this family is blessed with an ample share, and they deserve it all.
Unfortunately, Norman lost his wife a couple of years ago, leaving twelve of a family, the youngest a babe a few days old.
Roderick died in 1909 at the advanced age of 83. Mary, his widow, is still alive and well, one of the few remaining of her generation.
