A Conjectural McLeoran Family Tree - 1660 - 1770
A Family Tree based on some conjecture
Conjectural Family Tree 1660 - 1770
Above is an attempt at a McLeoran family tree between 1660 and 1770. It is based on some facts and many assumptions. Facts:

Dunaverty Rock

There would have been many more family members on the tree, not only in Southend Parish but in Campbeltown Parish too. Around 1800, the McLeoran family was so extensive in Southend that there was some intermarrying of second cousins or even perhaps cousins. e.g.:
The tree above is highly speculative and it is probably very wide of the mark. Scotlandspeople has taken the McLarans of Dalby family tree back to 1771 (and probably Glennamucklach) and the Compt Book has provided a glimpse of the McLeorans in the first half of the 18th Century. It is hoped that in the future, the missing steps in the McLeoran story between Dunaverty and 1770 may be uncovered. And Dunaverty is only 150 years on from 1527 and the legend of the lady on the rock. Recommended reading
