His name was Macdonald but back in the day the names McDonald and Macdonald were interchangeable and McDonald is used by this article in Canadian Biographies On-Line. He had a brother James who died young in Scotland. His father died in Scotland and his mother remarried to John Smith and had 5 more children; Peter, Agnes, Isabella, Jean, and Elizabeth. They all moved out to Canada c.1839 and lived and worked in Portneuf Quebec where Angus had established a papermill. His business partners at various times were his half-brother Peter Smith; William Miller who married his half-sister Elizabeth; and Alexander Logan who married his half-sister Jean and he married Alexander's sister Margaret. His half-sister Isabella married Joseph Ford who eventually took over the papermills in Portneuf.
