      Isabella married her second husband Donald MacDonald who was a discharged private in the Coldstream Guards, a marriage that her family felt was beneath her. Donald worked for the family. Isabella's family wouldn't let her take all her children with her when she and Donald moved to Cape Breton. They would only let her take 2 of her 7 Campbell children. The boys who were allowed to go to Cape Breton were Charles James and Lauchlan Campbell.

      Isabella and Donald settled in Kempt Road (near River Inhabinants) Cape Breton. Isabella drowned when on a trip to Arichat. Donald MacDonald and his cousin a Mr. John MacLean were charged with Isabella's death which happened on Nov.3 1840. I was wondering if you would know of anyone who might be able to tell me what happened to Donald MacDonald . I only have got as far as finding out that an arrest warrant was sent out for both men in Dec.18 1840 .This I know strays from the Campbell project but I thought I must try. Isabella Macrea -Campbell -MacDonald is buried in Grantville Cemetery. Her son Charles became very well to do and lived in Baddeck Cape Breton. Charles erected a grave marker in his mother
