    1. [SCT-INV-L] MacGregor/Mortimer
    2. Ref: Pictou County, New Glasgow I am looking for records from the Rev. James MACGREGOR for the years of about 1801 to 1815. Why? I would like to know if my great great great grandfather, William MacLean, who got off the ship The Sarah in 1801 had living parents or siblings with him and find out what happened to them. William married Margaret Chisholm, not sure of the exact date but estimated somewhere between 1812-1815 (their first child was born in 1815). He was only 11 years old when he arrived, and went to work for the merchant king, Edward MORTIMER. Mortimer later gave William 100 acres of land for his years of service - this would have been probably around 1812-1815 when he married Margaret - maybe a wedding gift? We have the deeds from when William sold part of the land to my great great grandfather John McLean, and his last will and testament as well. It was located starting at the East River and a long, narrow strip of 100 acres right across Fraser's Mountain. Does anyone have access to these pre-1815 records? Thanks! Rob McLean
