Dear Mal: Just wanted to greet a fellow Scotsman and family member. As you know there have been many different spellings taken of our name.

My known ancestors:
ggg grandfather Archibald McLerran Sr. b. circa 1775 in North Carolina
gg grandfather Archibald Jr. b. c. 1800 in Monroe Co., Kentucky
g grandfather Benaje McLerran b. 1828 Monroe Co. Kentucky
grandfather William Nathaniel McClerren b. 1858 Franklin Co. Illinois
father Benjamin Franklin McClerren b. 1893 Franklin Co. Illinois
and I am B.F. McClerren b. 1929 Franklin Co. Illinois.

Your note interested me because we do not know who was the first of our family to arrive in America. It is suspected that we are descended from A Daniel McLaurin who resided in North Carolina in the 1770s, but we cannot make the genealogical connection at this time. You may learn more about me and my wife by going to our web site: www.thelincolns.com

Fraternally, Mac
