4. RANALD⁹ MACDONALD (JAMES OF⁸ BAILLIE, DONALD⁷ MÓR, ALAISDAIR⁶, RUAIRI⁵, ALAISDAIR⁴, IAIN³ OG, IAIN² MUIDEARTACH, ALAISDAIR¹) was born 1766 in Eilean Shona, Scotland, and died Abt. 1830 in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Notes for RANALD MACDONALD:
Most of what follows is taken from "Fair Is The Place", by Mildred and John Colin MacDonald of Judique, Nova Scotia.

Ranald MacDonald (Pioneer) was born on Eilean Shona, Scotland, on the Baillie farm there. He was the son of James of Baillie and he followed his father and brother Alasdair to Canada about 1796. Ranald was probably married when he emigrated but his wife's name is unknown, and unfortunately, nothing more is known of her. When Ranald came out to Nova Scotia, he was more than likely accompanied by his wife and also by his brother, Donald Ban. They probably landed at Pictou and then made their way to the Arisaig area of Antigonish County where they would have met up with other brother Alasdair (1730 - 1820's) and his family. No doubt, their father James was either dying or already dead when they arrived, so this must have saddened them. In 1798, Ranald and his family crossed over to Long Point, Cape Breton, where he took up 180 acres just south of his brother Alasdair's grant. Ranald's name and his son James both appear in the 1818 census of Cape Breton.

In the years that followed their initial settlement, the "Clann Sheumais" MacDonalds of Judique (named for James of Baille) developed a reputation as strong fighters. Their men were considered proud and because they were so often of such massive stature, they were rarely challenged lightly.

Children of RANALD MACDONALD are:

5.	i.		MARY¹⁰ MACDONALD, b. 1796, Probably Antigonish County, Nova Scotia; d. Aft. 1871, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
	ii.		JAMES MACDONALD, b. 1798, ? Long Point, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia; d. Abt. 1885, Long Point, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia; m. JANET MACDONNELL.

Notes for JAMES MACDONALD:
James was a farmer and a fisherman and he lived on the old homestead at Long Point with issue. He applied for a land grant at Rear Centennial in 1820 and wanted to call his property "Baillie". The land was granted but he remained along the shore. This property was later settled by his brother Ranald and his descendants.
