John Fraser & Flora (Gracie) McDonald eventually settled in the Lowland Cove/Meat Cove how or why they got there I have never been able to establish.  Family folklore says Flora/Gracie died and John who was a protesant promised Flora/Gracie on her deathbed that he would raise the children Catholic.  John is rumoured to have left Mabou and moved to the lowland cove with the children after her death.  Other’s say that she did indeed move to the Lowland Cove with John and died at a very young age.  Anyone who has any insight into this please write to me or comment.

There is another Fraser family tree in cape breton that seems to have started in the now non existing community of red river, (the families moved to Pleasant Bay. There is documentation on the full family in a book called pioneers of New Scotland. Sorry I do not have author`s name or publisher.
