John McDonald was born in Rochester, New York, on February 22, 1832. At the age of nine, he was orphaned. To support himself, McDonald worked a series of odd jobs on canals, lakes, and rivers. He arrived in St. Louis at the age of 15. McDonald worked his way up in responsible river trade jobs. By the 1850s he was a passenger agent for a St. Louis steam company.
