I am very interested in contacting descendents of Alex MacLeod, whoMargaret Cameron describes below:
"the late Alex MacLeod, a lawyer in Winnipeg (nephew of Hector MacLean)wrote to my mother (Hope MacLean Cameron) in 1937 which outlined therelationship between our families. He and my grandfather, George LachlanMacLean (1863-1937) had been cousins as well as friends."
From Margaret Cameron, Box 621, Long Sault, Ontario KOC 1PO

"Lachlan had two sisters, as well as the two brothers::
1) Flora (b 1818
2) Janet (b 1835
-
I don't know where the descendants of Lachlan's siblings are. Accordingto the Ontario census 1851, John was listed as being eight years of age,but sometimes the census can be 'out' by one or two years. He is listedas being born in Scotland(c 1842/3). "
- (Research):Michael 'Mullman' asks:
The following are the official *baptism* dates, and because Lachlan's mother was Marion(Sarah), then Lachlan can only be the s/o Allan/Marion McLean i.e. baptised 4 Sep 1825 Kilninian parish (at Tostary, which is close to Torloisk). Lachlan at 5441 was baptised Torloisk, but mother is Christina (possibly another cousin).

I'd also appreciate knowing how Lachlan is known to be a cousin of Hector. I have Hector bap 21 Jun 1823 Kilninian, s/o Duncan/Janet McLean. Because there are four McLeans in the two marriages, it makes things very difficult to determine exactly HOW they are cousins. At present my guesstimate is that Hector's father Duncan and Allan's mother Marion/Sarah are siblings.
Margaret Cameron writes:
My gt Grandfather, Lachlan MacLean (b. Aug. 8 1826 Mull) Finch, Ontario,and his wife, Sarah Waldorf, had a son, Edgar, who moved to Fulton, New York, and had a farm.I think he had a son named Robert.Some descendants of my granduncle Edgar MacLean lived /near/in Buffalo, N.Y.My gt grandfather, Lachlan MacLean, was 'connected' to the MacLean family which originally settled in Perth, Ontario.
Margaret suggests that the family descends from the Macleans of Ardgour.
