Linda, Thanks for the additional information! It's very helpful in reconstructing these families. These McLeans were from Robeson Co. NC. The first member of the family to immigrate to America was John who was born in 1775 on the Isle of Jura and who came to America in 1790. He was a school master. He married Mary Ferguson and they were the parents of : Margaret b. 1800, Catherine b. 1802, Charles b. 1804, John b. 1806, Marion b. 1808, Allen b. 1810, Lauchlin b. 1811, Christian b. 1812 (my ancestor), Daniel b. 1813, and James b. 1820. After Mary's death in 1834, he married Mary McLauchlin; their child was Nancy who married Elias Daniel. About half of John and Mary's children stayed in NC but, according to a family history of Allen McLean written by one of his descendents, the brothers Allen, Charles, Daniel, and James moved to Copiah Co., MS, where they were merchants. It says that Allen latter moved to Hinds Co., MS and died there in 1838. Also, Charles and Daniel married sisters with the surname Watson, but James never married. I have confirmed some of this information from government records, but have lots more work to do towards this effort. Jane P. McLean listed in the church records was Daniel's wife, and Charles McLean was Daniel's brother. John J. McLean was their sister's Catherine's son. Catherine married Neill McLean (no relation to Catherine other than by marriage). Their three children were born in NC: John J., Eliza Catherine, and Albert William. Eliza Catherine married Angus David Brown and remained in NC, but Catherine, Neill, John J., and Albert William moved to Appling Co., GA. From there, John J. moved to Jefferson Co., MS. Thanks very much for helping me with this research. Joan Allen McLean moved to LRudd@aol.com wrote: >Joan, > >The children of Mrs. Jane P.

Joan, I have a copy of a Civil War requisition slip from Company A, 12th MS (whose men were from Union Church, Jefferson Co. & Copiah Co.) that's signed by a Captain J. J. McLean. Since you have a John J. McLean, I thought perhaps you'd like to have it. I'll be happy to send it via e-mail attachment. Just let me know. I have the roster of this company at: http://www.geocities.com/twincousin2334/Members_of_Charlie_Clarks_Rifles.html If memory serves, there are other McLeans listed. There are, also, McLeans in the survey of Union Church Cemetery: http://www.geocities.com/twincousin2334/Union_Church_Cemetery.html Nancy, researching: Baldridge, Cain, Carmichael, Courtney, Curtis, Dawkins, Doty, Garmon, Garrett, Hanon, Jackson, McCormick, Matthews, Osborne, Sharp, Stampley, Stringer, Warren and many more! www.geocities.com/twincousin2334 ; www.thepastwhispers.com Linda, Thanks for the additional information!
