Flossie and Dan George Sharp

Dan, christened Duncan, born and raised in Montrose, Scotland, inherited the title Laird of the MacDonald Clan upon the death of his father, Big Mac, so named for his size and stature. Duncan married his friend Florence who came to be known as Flossie and immigrated to America with their daughter Marjorie and mother-in-law Phoebe Biddle. They first settled in Chester, then Upland, Pennsylvania. The story of the family life of Dan takes the reader to Media, Pennsylvania, another local borough. With no male heir to inherit the title of Laird of the MacDonald Clan, his brother Frank's son, Kenneth, claims the title upon the death of Duncan. Frank, a Baptist minister, moves with his wife and children to Alabama as rector of the Baptist congregation in Birmingham.
