      Acknowledgements:
I am grateful to Elaine Hall, research officer of the Raymond Terrace Historical Society (RTHS) who has provided much guidance and information. The RTHS documents have been invaluable. They included transcriptions of the Raymond Terrace Courthouse records, burial records, headstones, newspaper articles, maps etc., which reflect the dedication of the Society volunteers. Thanks also to Marea Moxy who has shared her detailed knowledge of the McLEANs from the viewpoint of the MOXY family who were next door neighbours from the very beginning. Thanks to Doreen Hornsby who obtained the most significant location "Penmollach" for the above events from the OPR films, elucidated McDONALD—McLEAN relationships through correspondence in an Isle of Mull mailing list thread and also alerted me to the Treshnish McINNES records. Also to Lurline Lane who shared the family tradition that Hector McLEAN had married his cousin… and to Kerrie Wheeler who shared the other family tradition that Roderick McLEAN had married twice, together with data on Roderick's first marriage & its descendants. Kerrie's information included material from the research of Frances Lorraine (Pax) Armstrong (d. Apr 2004). Thanks also to Mavis McLean whose long-term research interest in in the McLEAN family history (visited Mull twice) led her to find relationships between Allan, Roderick & Hector McLEAN. Mavis also provided the DOBs of Hector and Mary's children. Karinya Montgomery and Bronwen Hughes provided a break-through with the 1901 death notice for Archibald BLAIR, which established a source linking the McLEANs to the BLAIRs and the LOCKHARTs. Websites written by Bronwen Hughes & Gary Robertson have provided much important data about the BLAIRs. Karinya Montgomery kindly gave detais of the Maud LOCKHART descendants. Last, but not least… Keith Sanger who suggested that the localities of Penmollach and Druim Fhionnghail might have relevance to my search for Ben Moloch and Druimfionn, which enabled another breakthrough.
