Also, Do you know anything about the Edward McDaid that Unity married.  Where he was from?  Who his parents were?
Edward McDaid was born in 1872.son of William McDaid,Sleadrin Glen and Kathleen,nee McLaughlin-Wannish.
He married Unity Fullerton.(b 1874)They had 5 children as you have already listed. Unity died a week after giving birth to Johnny.
Do not know much else about Edward except that he might have married a Bridget King(nee Gill)daughter of James Gill,Meenagorey.Bridget was born in 1885.They might have lived in Derry. I was told that he was buried with his first wife Unity in Cockhill.

Mary Ann Fullerton is very likely my grandfathers elder sister.His name was John amd he lived from 1878-1958. They also had a sister Unity and at least 2 brothers,James Fullerton and Edward Fullerton and both went to US.I am not sure what happened Unity except that she married Edward McDaid and had 4,5 or 6 children.Their names were Kathleen born in 1900,Winnie 1902,Nellie 1904?,Edward 1906?
Their parents were John Fullerton and Ellen Jackson. Ellen's brother Neil married John Fullerton's sister Mary.John's father was also called John and he owned 300 acres of hill land at Drumlough and this is mentioned in Griffiths Valuation of 1857.I think his father was Alexander who must have arrived in this part of Donegal in the late 1700's.That land is now owned by John Fullerton,the great-great-grandson of the man who owned it in 1857.

Let me know if you can add to this as my wife is the grandaughter of Kathleen McDaid 1900-1985 mentioned above.
