Macleors Of Glenelg - Dewar - Glenelg
My ancestors came to Glenelg in 1740 to operate a "Smithy" at Galder Glenelg. Our name at that time was spelt "Deor" (Dewar) When children were born (1750 - 1765) they became known as "MacLeor" at their father's wish. (son ofthe lad Deor)I have a fair amount of knowledge on our family tree, but am still looking for anyone related to us. There was many different spellings of our name and the closest mixup is with the name of MacLure. Most of our family left Glenelg for Glengarry Ontario Canada during the Clearances between 1793 and 1849. I have a fair bit of research done on our family in Glengarry.
