Of the MacCleans of the great Claim Gillean we have many 

 representatives, somewhat disguised in name in many cases ; e.g., 

 MacAlinn, MacKillen ; Gillen, Killen. The Campbells appear 

 amongst us both under the clan name of Campbell and also as 

 MacCollum, McCallum, MacAllin, M'Callin, M k Callion, also, 

 McCaillean, from the name of the MacCaillean More. 



MacLeods, in the form of MacCloy, are also amongst us ; and 

 Macintoshes and M'Cosh, which signify the same thing (the sons 

 of the Tosach or Chief). There are also MacKinlays, descen- 

 dants of the Highland chief Finlay Moir — MacFarlans, MacEoins, 

 MacRobbs (often changed to Robinson), MacPhails, MacLachlans, 

 MacNauchtans, and MacLamonds (asserted to be descended from 

 Lawmon O'Neill, son of the great O'Neill, provincial king of 

 Ulster), Maclnturners (or Turners), Macllwhorrys, MacKays, and 

 MacAulays ■ and Mewhinneys, or Buchanans. 



The Lowland settlers in this county can all be traced pretty 

 clearly to their former dwelling places in Scotland by their names. 

 For it so happens, as I mentioned before, that surnames were 

 there formed from local names — either from landed property, or 

 simply from locality.

 Pollok, Ralstoun. Whiteford, Walkenshaw. We have also com- 

 mon Renfrew family names formed in otherwise — Alexander, 

 Hall, Brown, Hutcheson, Hyndman, King, M'Gilchrist, M'Dowell, 

 Napier, Paterson, Stewart, Wallace.
