I have his name as Roderick MacLeod who died in November 1821 (after which she married my ancestor, Abel Pond). According to William MacKinnon's "Over the Portage" the earliest known marriage was that of "Susanna, daughter of Aaron Hovey, Sr. to Roderick MacLeod at age 12" (see page 40). I have five children listed for this marriage, one of whom was Aaron MacLeod. A descendant of this Aaron wrote to me in 2001 that Aaron's father's name was John, not Roderick and also disputed the idea that Susannah was married at 12. Unfortunately, I have no documentary proof of which is correct. Ester Clark Wright lists 24 Loyalist MacLeod's who came to New Brunswick. This included 3 John MacLeod's and 3 Roderick MacLeod's. Bonny
