Families from the Highlands of Scotland began arriving in North Carolina in the 1730's. The first colony of Scottish Highlanders was the Argyll Colony in the Cape Fear valley who settled in 1739 near the current city of Fayetteville. By the start of the American Revolution, the estimated number of Scot Highlanders in North Carolina was 15,000. Angus was the son of Hugh McDonald who settled in southern Moore County, North Carolina in 1787. Hugh was the son of James McDonald who came to America with his family from the Isle of Skye in 1770 or 1771. This book traces the descendants of Angus McDonald down through several generations. Also included are the Breland, Carter, Clark, Cooley, Davis, Dearman, Dunnam, Evans, Freeman, Garraway, Herring, Hinton, Ivey, Johnson, Jones, Jordan, Lee, Lott, Martin, McGilvary, McNeill, McQueen, McSwain, Miller, Palmer, Parker, Patterson, Pipkins, Prine, Smith, Turner, Walley, Watford, Williams, and Young families.

The movie The Founder, starring Michael Keaton, focused the spotlight on Ray Kroc, the man who amassed a fortune as the chairman of McDonald’s. But what about his wife Joan, the woman who became famous for giving away his fortune? Lisa Napoli tells the fascinating story behind the historic couple. Ray & Joan is a quintessentially American tale of corporate intrigue and private passion: a struggling Mad Men–era salesman with a vision for a fast-food franchise that would become one of the world’s most enduring brands, and a beautiful woman willing to risk her marriage and her reputation to promote controversial causes that touched her deeply. Ray Kroc was peddling franchises around the country for a fledgling hamburger stand in the 1950s—McDonald’s, it was called—when he entered a St. Paul supper club and encountered a beautiful young piano player who would change his life forever. The attraction between Ray and Joan was instantaneous and instantly problematic. Yet even the fact that both were married to other people couldn’t derail their roller coaster of a romance. To the outside world, Ray and Joan were happy, enormously rich, and giving. But privately, Joan was growing troubled over Ray’s temper and dark secret, something she was reluctant to publicly reveal. Those close to them compared their relationship to that of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. And yet, this volatility paved the way for Joan’s transformation into one of the greatest philanthropists of our time. A force in the peace movement, she produced activist films, books, and music and ultimately gave away billions of dollars, including landmark gifts to the Salvation Army and NPR. Together, the two stories form a compelling portrait of the twentieth century: a story of big business, big love, and big giving.
