Allan McLean, father of the emigrants, Weil and . Wlan, was by tradition pro- fessor in the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and was of Grisiboll, or Grisipol, Island of Coll. He was prob. b. somewhat before the last quarter of the 17th cen- tury, and d. not many years before or after the first quarter of the Isth. His eldest son Lauchlan was b. 1693, and his youngest in 1715. Ile prob. d. before his sons came to America, as letters received by them from the brother left in Scotland refer to the mother as living, but refer not at all to the father. These children of (Prof.) Allan MeLean were well educated, as writings left by the younger, and the thorough medical training of the elder (extending, it is said, through seven years) plainly indicate *:

Neil (Dr.), according to apparently reliable tradition, came to America with the dis- tinguished Dr. Morrison (of Hartford), in the year 1736; and this fact tends to cor- roborate the trad. that he was, like Dr. M., a graduate of the Univ. of Edinburgh, in which his father is said to have been a professor. The most reliable records say

* There are in the possession of a descendant of Allan, the emigrant, a few letters, written by the brother left behind in Scotland to those who came to this country. He was much older than they, and his interest in them and their children, and in other nephews in Europe and America. is more like that of a father than a brother, or uncle, and is very pleasant to notice. Furthermore, as far as these letters refer to any individual or event mentioned in the History of the Clan Me Lean (by J. P. Melcan, published at Cincinnati, (.) they confirm the printed work, and the history, which is so much fuller in some cases, in detail, throws light upon some things merely hinted at in the written letters, because well understood by those to whom they were written. The letters and the history thus unintentionally corroborate one another. M. D. M.L.

that Dr. McLean was h. 1702 (another, 1705), and without doubt in the home of his family, the Island of Coll. Both he and Dr. Morrison settled at Hartford, Conn., and both became prominent physicians, He owned at Il. a house and considerable land which his ch. inherited, and also owned "a country-seat near the line between II. and Wintonbury parish," and located on what is now called the Blue Hills road. It is prob. that he resided here during the later years of bis life, since upon Town Rec. of 11., prior to 1773, he is always mentioned as " of Hartford," and in 1782 he is " Neil of Windsor." He d. Jan., 1784, and in May and June of that year his sons Allan, Lachlan, John, and Neil, all described as "of Windsor," quit claimed to John Caldwell their right in lands once owned by their father.

MATHER. This sketch of this family: pub. in our first edition, has, in this issue, been much enlarged from the pages of the Mather Genealogy, published in 1890, by Mr. HORACE E. MATHER of Hartford, Conn., to whom we are also indebted for the use of the engraving of the coat of arms, as well as for personal revision of the proofs. This sketch is limited, as far as possible, to the immediate Windsor lines.

The name is quite common in England and Scotland now, as in the past, espec- ially in County Lancaster, Eng. The Mathers of Scotland were also a large family, two or three centuries ago, and from them descended the M. families of Cos. Nottingham and Northumberland, Eng. In the 14th century the name is spelled Madour or Mader ; in the 16th it was quite frequently Muthar. Although VIRTUS VERA NOBILITAS EST not a titled family, it has been a race of M considerable influence and education, as well as prominence in manufacturing and mercantile pursuits; in America, especial- ly noted for its large number of college- educated men and clergymen and physi- ATHER cians. Several coats of arms have been granted them. That claimed by the N. Eng. Mathers is " Ermine on a fesse, wavy, azure, three lions rampant; C'est, a lion sedant or, on a trunk of a tree, vert .; Motto : 'Virtus vera nobilitas est."

The beginnings of the American line of Mathers present a brilliant grouping of learned and devoted clergymen, and the family in New England has ever held the highest social position.

Ile early evinced a great fondness for learning, but his family having lost much of their property, he was obliged to make his own way in life. Was sent to school at. Winwick, four miles from L., where he was boarded in winter, and in summer walked to and from school, so great was his desire for an education. At age of 15 he be- came the master of this school, and, the next year, was invited by the people of Toxteth Park (now a suburb of Liverpool), to take charge of their public school. Later he entered Brasenose Coll., Oxford, but did not remain there long enough For a degree. Returning to Tosteth he took holy orders; was ordained by Bishop Morton of Chester, and preached his first sermon 13 Nov., 1618, with great accept- ance to a vast assemblage of people; but, such was the strength of his memory, that

what he had prepared for one contained no less than six long discourses. Asa pastor he became noted for watchfulness, tenderness, and energy. Sept. 20, 162.1, he m. Katherine (dau. Edmund, Esq.) Hoult of Bury-in-Lane. He preached twice every Lord's day at Toxteth, and every fortnight he held a Tuesday lecture at Preseot. He was suspended for non-conformity Aug. to Nov., 1633, and again in 1634 for the same cause. Being " without hope of again enjoying the liberty of doing any public work in his native land," he (15 Apl., 1635) journeyed to Bristol (being tracked by pursuivants who were endeavoring to apprehend him), whence he took ship (May 23d) for New England, arriving at Boston Aug. 17th. Out of several invitations quickly made to him, he selected that from Dorchester, Mass., where, until his death, 22 Apl., 1669, he faithfully served the church which had been left by Rev. Mr. Warham upon the emigration to Windsor, Conn. He was a man of great erudition, and assisted "the Apostle " Eliot in his translation of the Bible into the Indian language. His published works were a Modest Answer to Mr. Charles Herte his Book, 1644; Reply to Mr. Rutherford, 1647; and, in 1648, he was selected to draw up an Outline of Church Discipline for New England, agreeable to Holy Scriptures. He is said to have been really the sole author of the Discourse about the Church Covenant and the Answers to the Thirty-two Questions, 1639, al- though they passed under the name of the Ministers of New England. Ile was, indeed, highly esteemed for piety, courage, and power, by the best theologians. " His voice was loud and big, and uttered with a deliberate vehemency which pro- cured unto his ministry an awful and very taking majesty." He m.
