===> 3 more sons than are known! might be grandsons.
Moved from Abbeville District, South Carolina to Franklin Co.Tennessee - ca. 1809/1810
based on birth location of daughter Isabella, as reported in her obit -
Obituary, Banner of Peace and Cumberland Presbyterian Newspaper, Lebannon, TN. Friday Sep 12, 1851, Vol 10 No. 4 "Died 8-18-1851 near Caledonia, Lowndes Co., MS, Mrs. Isabella Donathan, consort of Rev. Stephen W. Donathan, born Abbeville Dist, SC 5-4-1796."

Based on descendants given names, I assume their wives unknown names were Walker, Magee, or Newton. Associated family names from Abbeville were Kerr, Reed, Emerson, Burleson... See neighbors here -
