Burial Details Unknown. Specifically: We can't not determine where John McDonald and his wife Sarah McNeil are actually buried. The old records of Playfairville Cemetery and of Highland Line Cemetery will be searched .

John McDonald who was a junior officer in the 104th Regiment under Lt.Col. Andrew William Playfair, took up land the same time as Colonel Playfair near Playfairville, Lanark, County, Ontario. Came to Canada in 1815 from Scotland, was in War of 1812.
John settled on Basturst (Bathurst) Twp. Con 12, Lot 20, 80 Acres, Lanark County, Ontario.
GPS Co-ordinates: Lat 44.9623? N, Lon 76.4189? W.
We are not 100% sure when John McDonald died, in Canada 1871 Census, he is living with his wife Sarah(McNeil) on the farm near Playfairville, Ontario, his son Hugh and family live on the farm beside his parents. In 1881 Canada Census, his wife Sarah (McNeil) is now a widow living on the same farm next to son Hugh McDonald and family.
Therefore John died sometime between 1871 and 1881 Census times. I search all Lanark County death records in that time frame and found a Death Record for a John McDonald age 82 years that died on 30 July 1877 in Bathurst Twp., registered by son John McDonald that was a Roman Catholic BUT the birthplace stated was New Brunswick NOT Scotland. I did an 1871 Census search for any John McDonald that would match the age and live in Bathurst Twp. and the only one the the John McDonald married to Sarah (McNeil) that live near Playfairville, Ontario.
Therefore except for the birthplace being New Brunswick this death record matches the above John McDonald as his son John McDonald had married Maria Rogers and had become a Roman Catholic as indicated in 1881 Census of Canada.

John married Sarah McNeil in 1825. Sarah was born in 1802 in Scotland; died on 31 Mar 1892 in Fallbrook, Bathurst Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
