Hi Bill You are east of Melbourne, and I am West of Sydney. Also I have the privilege of being a guide with National Trust of NSW at Old Government House in Parramatta, so have a great interest in Lachlan and all his predecessors. I would suggest that you try the sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com mailing list which has a lot of info. I spent quite a while earlier this year discussing the various Coats of Arms that about for Macquarrie. You should also try the website of Clan Macquarrie - they will give you a lot of connections. And if you are in Sydney, please come out to Parramatta and visit where Macquarrie planned a lot of the expansion of our country.
