Does anyone know which newspaper(s) dominated the Pictou area from the years 1801-1811? We are looking for newspaper articles or journal entries mentioning McLean. We have some McLeans living in the Greenwood area, also known as McLellans Brook or the Marsh. Donald and John McLean had land in that area. We have the copy of the land grant map, but I don't know what year it is from, it is obviously early because I also have a later map from 186? that shows the large plots divided into smaller ones. We know that Donald and John McLean are definitely related to our William McLean (1791-1865, of Frasers Mountain). But don't know if they are brothers or who William's father was. Since we cannot locate any legal documents between William and a parent, we think maybe written stories might mention something. What we are specifically looking for is something that mentions "father of", "brother of" or the sorts. Next of kin is mentioned once in a will, and another time in probate paperwork. We have the deed where William purchased his land from Mr. Gordon in 1811 on Frasers Mountain, and we know that William worked for many years after his arrival in Pictou in 1801 as a clerk for Mortimer. We've tracked everything from 1811 up to 1912. Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can fill the gap from 1801 to 1811? Any hints are greatly appreciated, Rob & Dianne McLean
