If anyone on the list owns a copy of Jo Currie's "MacLeans Directory" would they be able to send me the information regarding LACHLAN McLEAN and ANN McLEOD (on page 57?) please? Thank you, Barbara Australia

Hi Barbara, Regret to say that there does not appear to be an entry in the book for Lachlan and Ann.

Barbara: There is an entry on page 55 for a Lachlan Allan McLean (1820-1864) who is the son of Captain Hector [Hugh] McLean, and therefore grandson of Lachlan Ban Maclean of Bunessan. This Lachlan was baptised 24 May 1820 at Bunessan and lived in Carsaig. His mother was Ann Macleod, daughter of Captain Neil Macleod, minister, Kilfinichen [Ross of Mull]. Lachlan went to American in 1842, fought in Confederate Army. In 1864 he was stabbed and killed in his office in Lexington Missouri. He married Eliza Smith in the USA and had one son, Nelson Robert Maclean. Jean Whimp will be able to help further as there is a diary which survives if this is the Lachlan you are after. Jean is a direct descendant of Lachlan Ban Maclean of Bunessan. Hector Hugh had an illegitimate child with a Catherine McGilvra just months before he married Ann, the Minister's daughter. Jo Currie and I found Hector Hugh McLean's grave in a sadly neglected and difficult to reach burial ground north of Campbeltown the year before last. Good hunting! Jill
