Epilogue
In the spring Ann was born a healthy baby(Mary's youngest sister). Molly, Hannah's older sister married Angus Mary's older brother, and Hannah and Mary were very happy to become sisters. Mr. Macdonald started a school later that year. Mary and Duncan were married in 1787. Unfortunately that year was the "Hungary Year", the crops also failed because of a drought and many settlers died that year. And if that wasn't bad enough to everyone sorrow Mary's Grannie died that year too. Mary gave birth that year but it was still born and didn't make it, in others words it was the worst year for Mary and her family. That next year Mary successfully gave birth to a little baby girl that she named Margaret. Mary went on to have five more children 2 girls and 3 boys. The boys were called apon to support the Militia and fight the Americans in the war of 1812, all survived but one was badly wounded. Hannah married a boy named Alex a year after Mary married, she gave birth to five children one of who that died in the war of 1813 the fight for Crysler's Farm. Mr.Macdonald gave up teaching after 16 years but sadly died soon after, his wife Mary's mother died the next year. Jamie became a owner of a small store and always had at least on dog or cat with him at all times. Mary's youngest sister never married or had any children and lived with Mary and her family and was a wonderful aunt to all her children. Mary died when she was 80 years old .
