The signature on this will, was spelled McDonnell. But 
someone else could have signed for him. In the actual body of the will the 
children were listed as McDonald. Several plantantions around him were named. One is Bullock Plantation. His will was witnessed by Samuel 
McDonald and James McDonald.

From old KY Genweb site, this probably is the entry for Hicklin McNabb's marriage. Notice his name was garbled. Other books report the name as Hicklin.
