Hi
In 1667, a number of Scots were forced to leave Scotland following the
Pentland Rising (Rullion Green) in 1666. In the Dundonald records, a David
Poe in Polkelly, on a farm bordering Fenwick and Stewarton, seven miles
from Irvine. My interests is my Grand
mother Mary McDonald Gillies born 1879, father William McDonald had a 99 year
lease on land call Polkelly Hall Farms in Fenwick Ayrshire which is still
in the family.
According to the following page there was a McDonald Poe trying to find some
kind of Connection between McDonald and Poe any one out there who might
be able to help please e-mail Mary at
