Excerpt from A Brief History of the Ancestry and Posterity of Allan Maclean, 1715-1786: Vernon, Colony of Connecticut New England, U. S. A

IN these days we lead such a strenuous, earnest life that we seldom think of the trials and struggles of our ancestors who crossed the seas to seek a home in this pleasant land. Some of us know little of the progenitors of the mclean race. Having leisure, and access to valuable papers, I have found pleasure in compiling the following pages, and trust that the survivors of our branch of the old stock will find something to interest them.

In the early history the wars and clan contentions seem fearful, but we must remember that those were fierce times and only by fighting could one keep his own. The character of those western clansmen, and the making of such character, is well shown in Lang's History of Scot land, Vol. I.
