The McLean Descendancy |
|
| My fifth great-grandparents William McLean (1707–1785) and Elizabeth Rule (1707–1784) immigrated from Ireland in the early 1730s and settled in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Between 1733 and 1752, they contributed nine sons and one daughter to the pioneer population of the Colony. Thousands of their descendants today enjoy the blessings of liberty in the United States, and some have scattered abroad to other parts of the world. My descent from them: |
|
William McLean (1707–1785) and Elizabeth Rule (1707–1784); their son John McLean (1740-1813); his son John Steele MacLean (1770-1859); his daughter Evaline MacLean (1805-1893); her daughter Elizabeth Jane Fisher {1839-1885); her son Arta McLean Seely (1874-1945); his daughter Leola Seely (1910-1968); and me, her son Richard Bryan Anderson |
| Between 2015 and 2018, my daily researches assembled a collection of those descendants, their spouses, and the parents of their spouses which I have stored as a Reunion* family file: |
| Jobiska/Content Archive/Opera/McLean.familyfile12 |
| The file documents 14,920 persons, of whom 4,603 are direct blood descendants of William and Elizabeth. Another 2,054 are spouses of those descendants, and 3,310 are parents of those spouses. The other 4,953 found their way into the record for other reasons. |
| I did the research in Ancestry.com, creating public trees named McLean Descendancy and McLean Increments, the latter containing the most recent additions, which I started when the original tree became too large for convenience, contributing new findings to the FamilySearch Family Tree as they appeared. The Reunion file was created by merging the two Ancestry trees via GEDCOM format. |
