Ardoch, fronting on the old State
Road from Savannah to Darien where it traversed this Swamp, was
the plantation home of the McDonalds from Colonial Days through
the early 19th century.
During the Revolutionary War, members
of this branch of the McDonald clan were Loyalists, as were many
families of Coastal Georgia. In a skirmish fought in his home
in Ardoch, only a short distance from this spot, Robert McDonald
was killed in the presence of his wife and children, and the
Ardoch house burned.
