Dan, christened Duncan, born and
raised in Montrose, Scotland, inherited
the title Laird of the MacDonald Clan
upon the death of his father, Big Mac,
so named for his size and stature.
Duncan married his friend Florence
who came to be known as Flossie
and immigrated to America with their
daughter Marjorie and mother-in-law
Phoebe Biddle. They first settled in
Chester, then Upland, Pennsylvania.
The story of the family life of Dan takes
the reader to Media, Pennsylvania,
another local borough.
With no male heir to inherit the title
of Laird of the MacDonald Clan, his
brother Frank's son, Kenneth, claims
the title upon the death of Duncan.
Frank, a Baptist minister, moves with
his wife and children to Alabama as
rector of the Baptist congregation
in Birmingham.
