Hi Jennie

We are investigating our Ancestor James Paterson and understand that his Nephew, Henry Masterton and subsequently, Henry's son Leith McLean Masterton inherited the James Paterson shipping company (which we understand closed in around 1960).
We note that your enquiry was in 2005 so maybe you have gathered more info by now. We have also mailed Kate (the Lady who replied to you in 2008) to ask her the same question. Are these men part of your family tree? We are trying to discover the family link between the the Paterson & Masterton families. Perhaps you may know...? Inclidentally, if youstill live in Beerwah, we are just "up the road" from you.

Hi there. I am not sure whether you are still after this information but I was surprised to see my grandfathers name come up. I am one of four grandchildren of Leith McClean Masterton. Leith and Elizabeth had two children. Andrew Masterton and David Masterton. David has no children. Andrew married my mother Eleanor Harrington and they had four children.

Re: Missing parents

bbffrrpp — 2008-07-24 11:42:55Z

Hi Douglas. I know you asked your questions about 8 years ago. But, because we can now look up census information, I thought I would offer some for you as an FYI.

In 1920, there were well over 500 IRWIN's in NY State and about 300 of them were in NYC. Well over 100 in Manhattan and over 100 in Brooklyn.

And, there were over 160 MacLEAN's in MA in 1920. And, there was a Leonard MacLEAN living in Wakefield, MA, that year. But he and his wife were in their 40's and no children were mentioned.

Betty (near Lowell, MA)

P.S. I knew an IRWIN family in Winchester and Arlington, MA, in the 1940's and 1950's. They were part of a large IRWIN family which arrived in the US in the mid-1800's.

The 2 brothers living on adjoining farms in Winchester had many children. I don't know anything about there children - maybe 15 in total.

Sorry I gave such short information, this area has been a pretty short dead end for a bit.

It would have likely been around the Ontario area, at least around 1884 when his daughter Elizabeth Stewart was born.

Maclean/MacLean/(etc.) in Pelham and Colerain, MA. 1700s

Encanto59 — 2007-10-01 15:35:59Z

Looking for others researching the MacLean/McLeans [and all those other spellings one finds] who are in Pelham and Colerain, MA in 1700s. I recently learned, while re- researching my Clarkes that most likely the Macleans and Clarkes went from Scotland to Ireland about the same time and then came across to Massachusetts, about 1718 or thereabouts, settling in Worcester and then in Pelham and Colerain, MA. I know they intermarried a few times and I am from one of those marriages. Until my recent re-research on the Clarks, I did not know anything about the background of the MacLean families or how the surname was really spelled (not Meklem, Mecklem and all those others I had been trying to work with).

Now I am trying to make a connection to my first known ancestor, Andrew MacLean/Maclean/Maclein/etc. and any of the earlier ones of same surname found in Scotland and Ireland.

I do not have a clue as to when Andrew was born;, his first child was born 1727. Andrew married Isabel (---). I do not know when/where they died, and so no idea of ages at death or anything to give me further clues...

Considering all of the children this couple had, there must be a lot of descendants out there with whom I can exchange information....

katherine_not_kathy — 2007-08-05 17:33:44Z

My husband is a descendent of the WILLSON and CAMPBELL families of Scotland & Ireland, some of whom settled in Cherry Valley, New York.

I would love to correspond with anyone who has done research on this family, and would greatly welcome any additions and/or corrections to this information.

Following is an unverified outline of the male lineage connecting my husband to his 8th Great Grandfather, James WILLSON of Renfrewshire, Scotland:

MacLeans (McLeans) of Skye Scotland

Clannessie — 2007-06-19 15:56:58Z

Murdo MacLean married Helen Alice Cooper on September 4, 1901 in Dunbarton, New Kilpatrick. Helen was my Great Grandmother's, Annie Cooper Savage, sister.

I am trying to get the correct info on Murdo.

Murdo and his brother Charles were born to a Catherine (Kate) MacLean in Strath, Skye. Both were listed as illegitimate, so no fathers name.

Murdo was born December 22, 1874
Charles same date but in 1879

On the 1881 census:

Dwelling: Strolamus
Census Place: Strath, Inverness, Scotland
Marr Age Sex Birthplace
Kate MC LEAN U 32 F Strath, Inverness, Scotland
Rel: Head
Occ: Dressmaker
Murdo (probably short for Murdoch) GRANT 6 M Strath, Inverness, Scotland
Rel: Son
Occ: Scholar
Charles GRANT 1 M Strath, Inverness, Scotland
Rel: Son
Agnes MC LEAN 15 F Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
Rel: Boarder
Occ: Dom Servt

This says Kate was unmarried but why would Murdo and Charles have the last name of "Grant"? By the 1891 census the boys are now MacLean. On the 1901 census she is listed as "widow of Gas Labourer".

If anyone else needs MacLean info on this family:

Catherine's parents were Duncan and Mary McPherson MacLean.

Duncan born June 15, 1810 in Gleneig, Skye, Inverness. Only have his father's name as Angus.

They married January 29, 1839.

Children:

John...born Jan 7, 1840, Strath
Flora...born April 12, 1842, Strath
Margaret...born March 3, 1847
Twins?
Ann...born May 18, 1849, Strath (seems she died before 1851 census)
Ewen..born May 18, 1849, Strath
Catherine...born April 30, 1851
Neil...born about 1875

1851 Census:
Duncan and Mary were in Strath, he was a shepherd
address is Kilbride
1861 Census:
Family is in Greenock West, Renfrewshire, and he is a Balemakers Labourers.
Wilson Land Union Court for address?
1871 Census:
The family is in Greenock Middle, Renfrewshire
4 Watt Place
Duncan is a labourer
1881 Census:
Greenock Middle, Renfrewshire
he is a Labourer Sugar Porters Un E (?)
address is 20 Hamilton St

By 1881 Census, Catherine (Kate) is back on Skye with her two young sons, Murdo 6 and Charles 1 and an Agnes who must be some type of relative.

1891 Census:
Catherine and boys are now in Maryhill, Barony, Lanarkshire on 25 Argyle St
She is a Waskerwoman...think it should be washerwoman

1901 Census:
Catherine and boys are in same area but live at 32 Argyle St. Here she says she is a widow of a Gas Labourer?

From Phyllis Wagg's "A Living Community - A History of St. George's Channel"

Regarding the Cameron Family at lot 26 St. George's Channel

from page 146

"Mary (c1810-1886) daughter of Donald and Mary (Weir) Cameron married Allan MacLean (C1800-1876), son of Hugh and Flora MacLean, and lived at Balmoral. Their family included John (1833-1898), Donald (1835-1895). Flora (1837-1911), Hugh (1840-?), Allan (1843-?), Lauchlin (1846-?), Alexander (1848-?), Neil (1852-?), and Mary (1855-?).

Flora (c1837-1911) married Donald MacRae (c1831-1874) of lot 28 St. George's Channel and they resided on lot 22. Hugh (1840-?) married Margaret Morrison. Neil (1852-?) married Christy Ferguson the daughter of John and Mary Ferguson of Cleveland in 1894. No further information has been located on the other children of this family."

Mary and Anne were sisters. Flora married her first cousin.

If you don't have Phyllis' book I could make some copies. She has done an excellent job!

I am currently looking for any additional information on Alexander McLean, father of Alvan Lowell McLean, and would love any information on their lives in Canada and when and why they came to the U.S. Of course, I will eventually like to find out where in Europe they came from and trace back as far as possible. However, I've just got started and I know I have to take this in baby steps.

I have not contacted my dad yet to get his info but I will very soon and I will post any updates.

Malcolm MacLean of Barra to Cape Breton

2006-12-05 15:02:56Z

I am trying to trace my great grandfather, Neil MacLean. He came to Molega, Queens County NS. around 1891 from Cape Breton NS to work in the Molega gold mines. He married Katherine Joudrey and as far as I know never returned to Cape Breton. What I know of his origins is from Census documents, marriage certificate etc. He was born in Cape Breton between 1860 and 1865.and gave his religion as Catholic. His father was Malcolm MacLean, born in Scotland ; his mother was Mary born Cape Breton. Family tradions says he came from the Irish Cove/Big Pond area. Two other young MacLean men Alexander and Donald came to Molega with him but appear not to have stayed. At least one of them was a brother according to my grandmother. She remembers them speaking Gaelic to each other.

I have found only one family in the Census listings that fit all the above criteria. They are listed in the Big Pond Census. and in 1891 the family is as follows
Malcolm MacLean, age 78,Head, born Barra Scotland, Catholic
Mary MacLean, age 70, wife, born NS
Neil MacLean age 27
Alexander MacLean, age 22
Anna MacLean, age 21
Donald MacLean, age 18
(Note: Malcolm and Mary are listed as ages 55 and 54 in the 1881 Census)

Is there anyone who has researched or is familiar with this family and could finally confirm that this is my Neil.
Thanks
Burdette
