Coll, and belonged to the Boreray branch of the
Macleans of Ardgour. His father's name was
Angus. His mother was a Macfadyen. He had

were drowned while crossing from Uist to the
mainland. Donald went to Jamaica, prospered in
business, and sent for Alexander and James. He
married Ann Susanna Rodon, by whom he had
Lachlan, George-Rodon, and Ann. Alexander
was born in 1767. He became proprietor of the
Crawle River and Orange Hill estates in Jamaica.
He returned to Scotland in 1819, and settled in
Liberton. He married, in the same year, Mary
Baigrie, by whom he had Catherine-Ann, Alex-
ander, Donald, and John M. He died in 1839.
His youngest son, John M., is the well-known
member of parliament for Cardiff.
