MACLEANS 0F LOT 16

Allan MacLean (Allan Road)

The Isle of Mull is a sculpture in basalt and granite in the Hebrides, Scotland. From this barren rock came the Allan MacLean family who immigrated to St. John’s Island in 1792. Allan’s family consisted of Roderick (1768-1843), John, Anne and Margaret.

Roderick obtained a lease of 150 acres from Stephen Sullivan in 1808. The land was located on what is now known as the Allan Road (named after Allan) and is part of the present day community pasture. He married Loyalist Alexander Cameron’s daughter, Catherine. The couple had a family of nine, two of whom remained in Lot 16. William married Ann MacLean and lived on the homestead; they later moved to Bedeque. Dr. Allen MacLean of Summerside is a descendent of William’s. A second son, Alexander (Little Alex) married Catherine Howatt and lived at MacCormack’s Point (owned by Garth MacLean, at bottom right of Forbes Road) on the south shore of the Grand River in Southwest.

Another son,john, married Meriam Inglis, and moved to Lot 14- about 1800. Two of his descendants came to live in Lot 16: Willis MacLean, great—great—grandson, married Dorothy Monkley, (see Monkley History) and purchased the former Lot 16 United Church Manse; and Vernon MacLean, great-great-great-grandson of John, married Elizabeth Monkley, Dorothy’s younger sister, and built a home on the Central Road.

Little Alex and Catherine had a family of twelve; three remained in Lot 16. Peter Howatt MacLean married Pamela Howatt. They had two children, both of whom left Lot 16. Peter, while working in the woods, was killed by a falling

tree. A second son, Alexander, was a postmaster in the Lot
