Notes:

The McLeans moved to Portage la Prairie in Manitoba in 1862 on the first journey of the steamship International (according to one source- another says they came overland. This seems more likely to me). John bought land to farm from a local Metis for $375. The First Presbyterian Church of Portage la Prairie notes that McLean and his family with Kenneth McBain and his family were the first to settle at that spot. These were the first farmers in what had been a hunting and trapping area populated mainly by Native Americans.

Although John and Rhoda had 9 children and 34 grandchildren the surname McLean itself was lost except in the line of John's youngest son, also called John McLean.

Family/Spouse: Rhoda Black. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
