  Notes	Altamont Donaldson, Sr., was the son of John Danielson and Ruth Blodgett, and the husband of Anna W. Richards. Along with his father and five brothers he served in the American Revolution. He was a private in Capt. John Carpenter's Company of Springfield, Massachusetts Line, and fought at Saratoga. In 1810 Altamont was living in Otsego Co, NY. In 1820 and 1830, according to the U.S. Census he was in Virgil, Cortland Co, NY. In 1840 he lived in Oakland Co, Michigan. In the 1830's Altamont, along with nearly all of his brothers, nephews and cousins, changed the family surname, by common consent, from 'Danielson' to 'Donaldson,' believing 'Donaldson' to be the original family name back in 1600's Scotland. Altamont's grave was marked by the Genesee Chapter of the D. A. R. of Flint, MI, in June, 1915. In 1971 his stone was found fallen and broken and considerable effort was made to create a new and beautiful memorial! [6] Probate records not available online for Genesee Co., Michigan (28 Jul 2014)
