FOREWORD
Approximately six years ago a pretty blonde-haired girl, not yet in her teens, approached Ophelia McLeod Wright with the question: “Auntie, where did the McLeods come from?” The usual answer was not good enough for this Judy McLeod, the inquiring one, so the end result was that work was commenced to ascertain where the McLeods “came from.”
Grover S. McLeod was also interested in the historical background of his family; therefore Ophelia McLeod Wright and Grover S. McLeod joined forces. She would collect and compile the records of her ancestors and Grover S. McLeod would edit and write the material, thereby forming it into a book so that Judy McLeod, and other McLeods, would know
“where they came from.” 1455580
The collector literally started from scratch, for as one will see by the reading of this history, tragedy had stalked the records of the McLeods. At one time the compiler had a handwritten outline of her kinsmen, which was given to her by her father, and she turned it in as a paper at Jackson¬ ville Teachers College. But this paper could not be found. In the process of procuring this data, the collector has written several thousand letters. She has searched a number of libraries in the South, including the Library of Congress, and in additon, she has visited the McLeods and their kinsmen throughout the Southland.
This has been a tremendous task, but an enjoyable one. By her side, at all times, has been her companion and husband for many years, Daniel Harris Wright. He has been most patient and understanding during this search of hers to ascertain where the McLeods “came from.” No partner could have been more patient and forbearing, for he has withstood all the dashing from city to city to follow leads about “her McLeods.” Never has he expressed any words in this pursuit except encouragement. Surely the compiler has been blessed with this man.
This project would have been simplified, had there not been so many “ifs.” To begin with, Neal McLeod, the progenitor, had to fight on the side of the British during the War for Independence. This, of course, is not really so bad from the point of view of Loyalties. He could hardly be expected to have any loyalty to the Colonials, as he had been here only two years. But the worst part of this link in our history was, that the home
3
of Neal was torn asunder. He was a literate Nobleman and would have left extensive records.
The second tragedy, in the eyes of the historian who searches for papers, is in the life of Malcolm McLeod (B-4). Malcolm was most literate. He had an extensive library in his home. He was an inveterate reader, and was familiar with the rich history of his family. He had a grand¬ daughter named Rebecca Harriston, who was his favorite. She was the Dean of a School for young girls, and as such was most conscious of the background of her family, and took great pride in her family tree. Malcolm wrote in longhand a complete history of the McLeods, dating back to Robert Bruce. Letter after letter of subsequent generations are replete in referring to this history.
Rebecca grew older and, unfortunately, suffered from a mental infirmity. She was very eccentric, and possessed these papers as if they were some valuable jewel, and, no doubt, hid them some place about her home. She also had her grandfather’s cooking pot that he had used during the Indian War. Some have speculated that she hid the treatise in this pot. So, as one can see, if the treatise of Malcolm had been found, then the search would have been most simple.
Neal McLeod, the son of Malcolm, was also a learned man, and he, too, was familiar with the background of his family. For in his household, as in many other Scotch households, they practiced spelling out their line¬ age. The spelling out went something like this: “I am Neal, the son of Malcolm, who is the son of Neal, who is the son of . . ”, and so on, until you reach the Chief from whom you derive your lineage. Some children were able to join onto royal lineage, and therefore the game was made richer and richer as the further the reciter went. It also made the children most conscious of their ancestors and family.
The Civil War came and a palor came over the family of Neal. Life became very bleak and dreary. It was said that, so many boys from Ran¬ dolph County, Alabama, were killed during the war, that those who re¬ turned home felt a certain sense of guilt or uneasiness because their kins¬ men and friends had not returned. The pre-civil war game of recitation of lineage was discontinued. Sadness prevailed about the household of Neal McLeod, yet Neal was a man of letters, and when the collector went to the old homestead of Neal McLeod for his trunk of letters, she was in-
4
formed by “Cousin Nealie” that they had been lost during a period of vacancy. Yet some were found, but not enough. Still each link added to the chain and now it is all pieced together.
The writer and compiler will not make an effort to thank anyone in¬ dividually, as space would not permit, but the compiler would especially like to thank all the McLeods collectively and their kin who have been so kind as to accept her intrusion with kindness. She has enjoyed making the acquaintance of all these McLeods. Moreso, she wishes to thank all those McLeods who have helped her to compile this history and have aided in so many ways.
Lastly, the writer and compiler wish to dedicate this book to those McLeods who love their family and love the heritage for which it stands. We certainly hope that it will be an inspiration for further study and even moreso will encourage the McLeods and their kin on to newer and greater heights. And to each of you McLeods and your heritage, the writer and compiler say “Hold fast.”

THE PLAN OF TABULATION
The name of each person is given a number. When this name appears as head of a family, the same number is placed above it. All numbers at the beginning of the lines and above family groups are in regular order. Capital letters show generations. The emigrant, Neal McLeod, and wife, are A, their children B, grandchildren C, etc. The easiest way to find any certain name is to begin with a known ancestor and follow down the line. By means of the numbers, it is easy to follow family lines forward and backward.
The letter “b” stands for born, “m” for married, and “d” for died.
The people of direct descent will be numbered, 1-2-3, etc., beginning with the first to the last.
The step-children of the family also bear a close relationship, so they will be numbered thus: (A)-l, (A) -2, (A) -3 and on down to obtain the correct number.
This index only contains the names of the heads of certain families, but it is enough to give a sufficient starting point to enable anyone who is familiar with relationships to find any other name among his known rela¬ tives.
LEOD TO MacLEOD
In the latter part of the 11th century, Godred feuded with his father, Harold Hardrada, King of Norway. The result was that, Godred took to his Galley of twenty-four oars, and, Viking like, sailed this sleek prowed ship to the Island of Man. Shortly after landing upon this prominent Island Kingdom, Godred seized the throne. He crowned himself the King of the Island of Man. He and his descendants ruled for many centuries thereafter. At the turn of the 13th century the Ruler of Man was Olave, the Black. He, too, had a son Leod, who was adventurous and sought power. To protect himself from this son, Olave sent him to his fief, that had been a constant source of dispute between himself and his cousin, the King of Norway. This fief was in the Hebrides and consisted of a number of Is¬ lands off the coast of Scotland that had been settled principally by the Norse. Its culture was a cross between Celtic and Norse.
Shortly after Leod landed in the Hebrides, which was well populated, he began a campaign to gain control of all the Islands. By sheer force he placed himself in power over Harris, Sleat, Trotternish, Waternish and Snizort, in Skye. He married the daughter of Macraild, and through her, he secured the Districts of Durrinish, Minginihs, Bracadale, Lyndale and part of Trotternish on Skye. He intended to establish a Kingdom, and would have done so, except in the struggle for power amongst the several kingdoms,
6
he was forced to side with Scotland. With his assistance, Scotland assumed domination over the Hebrides in 1263.
Leod’s wife was also descended from a great figure, for she was a direct descendant from Hrolf, the Granger-Rollo, the first Duke of Normandy. The present royal line of England is descended from Hrolf. He settled in the Hebrides on Skye, and from there made expeditions that ended in the conquest of those lands in Gaul, now known as Normandy.
Probably Leod was the first of his race to occupy the castle of Dunvegan, which is located upon the Island of Skye. This castle has been the ancestral home of the Chief of Siol Tormond Clan MacLeod for over seven hundred years. Each Chief has added to and built onto Dunvegan until it is now not only a great home of the present Chief, but it is also a Museum of Clan life and history. Dunvegan has been visited by a number of Royalty and world-renown figures. Johnson and Boswell visited the Castle. Flora McDonald, the great patriot, spent her last years there.
Until 1748, there was but one access to the Castle, and that was by the sea. The MacLeods have been great sailors, and one of their racial traits is love of the sea. Upon the tombstones of a great many MacLeod leaders one finds beautifully carved pictures of Galleys. In a land of Islands, where roads were few and filled with one’s enemies, the MacLeods used the seas for their highway. The MacLeod poets, in their many laments, speak of the heroism of the MacLeods who, each generation, have been lost at sea. The MacLeods have been Norse in every respect. They not only were tall and fair people, but even after Leod, manned their 18 and 24 oar galleys and sailed the North seas in search of plunder and trade.
Leod died in 1280. All of his descendants are MacLeods — which in a narrow' sense means “Sons of Leod.” He had four sons and two daughters. Two of his sons were named Tormod and Torquil. Apparantely, due to their strength, the lands of Leod were divided amongst the latter two. Tormod took the lands of Dunvegan, Harris and Glenelg. Torquil took the lands of Leod on Lewis Assynt, Coigeach, Gairloch and Raasay. The other sons w'ent to Ireland.
After the death of Leod the two branches of MacLeod developed along somewhat distinct lines. They were kin, but there were separate Chiefs. The MacLeods were slow to develop the Scotch Clan System, for they were dis¬ tinctly a Norse group. They fought in most of the clan wars and gradually developed into one of the most powerful clans in the Highlands.
By the year 1745 the MacLeod clan had a beautiful working system. Clanship is basically kinship. It was largely based upon seniority and love of one’s kin and love of one’s race. There was no people in the Highlands that had more reverence for family and their Chiefs than the MacLeods.
7
In the latter year there began the Jacobite uprising that was to spell the doom of the clan system. This was the Revolt which was led to put Prince Charles back upon the throne of England. If one were loyal to the present Royal family, then he was a Hanoveran. If one were loyal to Prince Charles, then he was a Stuart. The MacLeod Clan split. The MacLeod families divided. The fighting was bitter, and the wounds were deep after the uprising was placed down. The Chief of Tormod barely escaped going to prison, though he had sided with Hanover. The rift could not be breached and the wounds would not heal, for the split was too wide. It was long lasting, for the Highlands did not recover from the economic damage for more than a century. But the most serious consequence of the Jacobite up¬ rising was the acceleration of the migration of MacLeods to the new world.
We find most of these MacLeods unto this era believers in their kin and their Chiefs. They fought against Cromwell. They were loyal to the last, to their Chief and to their King.
The MacLeods that migrated, no doubt, were reluctant to leave the Hebrides. For no place is more loved than by those people who have lived on these fantastic Islands. It is said that they have all the beauty of dainty flowers shredded in the mystery of fairies. Still they can be just as cruel as the North wind that sweeps across them. MacLeods have dearly loved them, for their poets speak of these Islands and the MacLeod love for them and their traditional places.
MacLeods have been great patrons of the Scotch bagpipe. They have sponsored the MacCrimmon School for Pipers. The Greatest pipers of Scot¬ land were the MacCrimmons, who were the official pipers for the Mac¬ Leod Chiefs. The MacLeods have also dearly loved poetry. As a matter of fact, part of the MacLeod tradition is based upon fairies. Dunvegan Castle has its own fairy room, which houses an enchanted flag that is supposed to be used to save the MacLeods who are in distress. Mary MacLeod, of the Seventeenth century, was the greatest poet of all. She wrote a number of works that have stood the test of time.
Throughout the history of the MacLeods there runs a steel wire of tenaciousness. There is a history of fighting and turbulence, yet there is a history of love for Clan and love for Chief. On the side of the clansmen that love for Chief still continues. The bonds of affection that bind the pre¬ sent 28th Chief of the MacLeods, Dame Fora MacLeod, with her clansmen throughout the world, is a living memorial to the spirit of clansmanship. It is something that lives and is fostered upon tradition and love of family. Better still, the very motto of the MacLeods speaks of MacLeod feeling of these ideals: “Hold fast.”

NEAL McLEOD
PROGENITOR OF McLEODS OF THE SOUTH
Neal McLeod was a Tacksman who was born upon the Isle of Skye in Scotlands Western Hebrides. He was a leader of his Clan, not only be¬ cause he was a cousin to the 22nd Chief of the Clan, Norman McLeod, called the Red Man, but he was also a Tacksman, being one of the landed property owners of his ancestral estate upon Skye.
Neal led a number of his clansmen in the raising of funds to colonize North Carolina. In the year 1774 the funds were raised, the ships were procured and loaded off Skye Island with McLeods, Fergusons, Johnsons, Urquharts, Bethunes, McDonalds and others, and, following a stirring cere¬ mony of winsome parting, the ships were boarded and then sailed for America.
The groups settled Sampson County, North Carolina. Neal immediately purchased 1200 acres of good land and began to establish a home for him¬ self, his wife, Sally Bethune, and their two sons, Neal and John.
In their party of ten ships that sailed from Skye were several notables; namely, Flora McDonald and her husband, Allen McDonald. Flora had attained historical importance for the part she played in sheltering the Jacobite Prince Charles. Another person of note was the father of Sally Bethune McLeod, John Bethune, who was of the Bethunes that had been surgeons for the McLeods. John, later was one of the leaders on behalf of the Loyalists.
Immediately upon landing, the Scotch settlers found that there was a serious dispute between the Americans and the British. The leaders of the Highland settlers, to a man, decided to back the British. A Highland army was organized, and leading in organizing the army was John Bethune and Allen McDonald.
Neal had a prior history of warfare and the warlike blood of his Viking ancestors flowed through his veins. He volunteered for sendee in the High¬ land Army and he was elected a captain in his regiment. In 1776 this Army began a march to join the army of Cornwallis. The American army met the Highlanders at Moore’s Creek. A bloody battle was fought and the Highland army was defeated. Neal, along with most of the others, was taken prisoner where he suffered immeasurably at the hands of the Americans.
To make matters worse, the Provisional Congress of North Carolina, passed an Act in 1778 confiscating all the property of the Loyalists. The lands of Neal were lost.
John Bethune fared much better, for in 1779 he was permitted to lead a group of Highlanders to Canada. They sailed for Nova Scotia and started life anew. After Neal was released from the Provisional prison, he moved with his family to South Carolina, where he remained until 1785. Then
9
he took passage on a ship to sail for Nova Scotia to arrange for a home for his family. The ship floundered and sank, and unfortunately, Neal was lost at sea. But, fortunately for succeeding generations of McLeods, Neal left behind his family.
Earlier in 1779, Flora McDonald was allowed to leave America. She returned to live in Dunvegan Castle upon the Isle of Skye. Her husband, Allen, attempted to build a home for them in Canada, but misfortune also stalked Allen McDonald.
The reader will see that Neal McLeod was the progenitor of a great clan of McLeods, who have, in large, made the Southern United States their home. The author knows with certainty only three sons who were bom to Neal and Sally Bethune McLeod. The first two were bom on the Isle of Skye, the other one was born in South Carolina. It is felt that they had a daughter, whose name was Sarah and who married a McSwayne. However, the author has not been able to trace this with certainty; con¬ sequently he has elected to omit any reference to same. The sons of Neal and Sally Bethune McLeod were:
Neal B-2, John B-3, Malcolm B-4
THE SONS OF NEAL
Neal McLeod, (B-2) was the eldest son of Neal. During the year 1822, he, along with other Highland folk, migrated from Carolina to South Ala¬ bama. They traveled by ox drawn wagon to Clarke County, Alabama, m. in N. C., oldest son Neal, b. & d. as a child in N. C.
C-5 I Neal McLeod, b. 1811, d. young.
C-6 II Nancy McLeod, b. 1813, d.
C-7 III Christina McLeod, b. d.
C-8 IV Daniel McLeod, b. 10-25-1819, d. 1-18-1872.
C-9 V Sarah (Sallie) McLeod, b. 1-11-1882, d. 10-25-1889.
C-10 VI Malcolm McLeod, b. 4-3-1824, d. 12-20-1863.
C-ll VII Flora McLeod, b. 4-21-1828, d. 12-26-1892.
C-12 VIII John McLeod, b. 9-22-1830, d. 1864 in Civil War.
These eight children became the backbone of those people who built the Southern part of Alabama.
John McLeod (B-3) married and settled in Randolph County, Georgia. He had only one child, namely, John Washington McLeod, (C-13), who was born in 1814, and died in 1867. He married fourteen year old Charlotte Brunsoon in 1844. She died in 1865. Of this union eight children were bom, viz :
D I Daniel McLeod, killed in Civil War.
DII Almerine McLeod, killed in Civil War.
D III Malcolm Bethune McLeod, killed in Civil War.
D IV Sally McLeod.
10
D V Henrietta McLeod
D VI John Franklin McLeod, 1856.
D VII Robert Lee McLeod, b. 1863.
D VIII Milledge McLeod.
Malcolm McLeod (B-4), the younger of the three brothers, was bom February 29, 1785, and died September 15, 1872. As a youth he was very frail, which probably was the reason that relatives and friends saw to it that he received an excellent formal education. He had a deep love for books. He was reputed to have “bushles and bushels of books” in his home, and that his home held more books than most libraries in Decatur, Georgia.
Malcolm married Rebecca Rooks. Born February 24, 1787, died July 21, 1858. It is rightly said that she brought longevity to the faimly. She was the daughter of Hardeman Rooks, who lived to the ripe old age of 98 years.
As a young man Malcolm purchased a farm near Decatur, Georgia, where he developed a plantation where he raised cotton. He was active in educational and church affairs of his community.
Malcolm was also a student of his family history, and compiled a com¬ plete history of his family which was complete and went back to the Kings of Norway. He gave this valuable treatise to his favorite granddaughter, Rebecca Hairston, which she apparently misplaced or lost. Later genera¬ tions were forced to dig and delve in order to glean this knowledge.
As Malcolm advanced in age, he would repeat, over and over, to his children and then to his grandchildren, “There is not a drop of coward’s blood in the viens of a McLeod. Through the veins of a McLeod flow the blood of leaders — men who were fighters and ran from no man.” He was most proud of his ancestors and of his name.
In 1826 Malcolm left his family for a tour of duty with the Army to fight the Indians. His tour took him into Alabama and Tennessee. In later years he used to delight the grandchildren with his tales of the Indian Wars. His cooking pot, which served him during this tour of duty, was a family heirloom for many years until it was misplaced.
Malcolm’s planation was located where the present city of Decatur, Georgia is now located. In later years he lived with his youngest son, Angus, at his home place.
At an age just past the middle sixties Malcolm suffered a stroke, which almost confined him to his chair. As he grew older, he sat in his rocking chair, read and conversed. He was known to be a brilliant conversationlist
11
and persons came from great distances to talk to him. His death was at¬ tributed to a stroke.
Even though Malcolm had been reared in the Presbyterian Church, as a young man he came under the influence of the aggressive Methodist Church of his day and became a convert. He was a very staunch Metho¬ dist, and played an active role in the church affairs of his community. Upon his death he was buried in the Churchyard of the Wesley Chapel, located about 7 or 8 miles southeast of Decatur. This is a McLeod burial ground, but, unfortunately, there are no markers to denote the grave of Malcolm.
From the marriage of Malcolm McLeod and Rebacca Rooks, they had the following-named children:
Sarah Bethune McLeod, b. 9-4-1810, d. 5-10-1889.
Neal McLeod, b. 5-4-1812, d. 10-20-1881.
John McLeod, b. 4-2-1814, d. 8-4-1858.
Nancy McLeod, b. 4-27-1816, d. 1-1891.
Mary McLeod, b. 2-14-1818, d. 10-4-1837.
Laura Priscilla McLeod, b. 1-12-1821, d. 6-2-1853.
Ann Eliza McLeod, b. 11-18-1822, d. 2-16-1831.
William McLeod, b. 1-26-1825, d. 4-1848.
Angus McLeod, b. 12-26-1826, d. 1909.

NEAL, FIRST SON OF MALCOLM
Neal McLeod, C-15 II, was born May 4, 1812, and died October 20, 1881. Probably to the dismay of his father-in-law, Neal inherited his father’s scholarly attributes. As a young man be courted and married Adaline Williams, the daughter of William C. Williams, a wealthy planter and
Neal McLeod
trader of Decatur, Georgia. When Williams thought that the chances for success were much better in Alabama, he moved to Randolph County, Alabama. Neal and Adaline followed Williams and settled nearby.
As a wedding present Williams gave his daughter and son-in-law a 160 acre farm, which became the home place of the McLeods for almost a century. He also gave his daughter a male and female slave. This farm place was at Lofty, Alabama, which was later changed to Pine Hill, Alabama. This land was rough with rocks and clay. It was filled with
13
impediments which made life not too easy for Neal. Though he was scholarly and inclined to love his hooks, he was also thrifty, and a good worker.
He experimented with crops. He diverted a spring that flowed on the bottom land of his farm and damned it up where he could have an over¬ flow and he raised rice. He also raised his own wheat and oats which were ground into meal. On his place he had his own mill where he used the same small stream to turn the stone and grind the meal. It was said that Neal set the finest table in Randolph County.
The log house that Neal built still stands. It has been built around, but the original house still stands. Those who knew Neal always expressed their comments about him by saying, “He was the Teadingest’ man I ever saw.”
Neal lived in an isolated section of Alabama, yet he had a marvelous library. Most of the classics were in this library.
When one passed his isolated farmhouse late at night, he could ex¬ pect to see a light in the window, for Neal McLeod dearly loved to read. For years it was common saying amongst parents of children that, when a child took to its books, the parent would say, “You read like a Neal Mc¬ Leod.”
Neal did not let his reading all go to waste, for he was also a teacher. He was one of the first certified school teachers of the public school system of Alabama. He taught school at Harmony or Popular Springs. His certificate to teach was dated February 7, 1855.
Neal was such an avid reader that it is told on him that he and his brother, John (C-16 III) borrowed a book when they were young boys and John read the book first and Neal could not sleep but sat beside his brother until early morning, and when he had completed the book, Neal read on the whole night until the book was completed.
Neal also held the mail route at Pine Hill until the Civil War came along. , He had a large family and did not go off to the war right away. However, he was in the home guard and drilled with the group of older men at Pine Hill. Right at the end of the war his unit of the Home guard was sent to Atlanta, but disbanded shortly after being sent to duty. His oldest son, Daniel, enlisted at the age of 16. He was wounded and given sick leave and died. Neal was not only a man of books but he was also a very practical man. Once there arose a very dark cloud over McLeods lands, which obviously to Neal, was a tornado. It appeared evident that the funnel shaped wind would strike his farm. He took all his family into a cleared piece of new ground and made each of the small children lock his legs and arms around a sapling. The wind came and blew over huge trees, and it was said by one of the children that a wagon was seen in
14
the wind. The saplings gave and bent with the wind. Little frightened children blew with the wind, but not a one, including the parents, was in¬ jured though huge trees nearby were uprooted.
Shortly after the Civil War, when all the slaves had been freed, Neal and the children were in the yard of the house doing chores, a buck board pulled up into the yard. The driver was a Negro man, who jumped down from the wagon and grabbed Neal around the neck. Neal also grabbed the Negro. The two of them danced, arm in arm. This at first affrightened
(the children because one of the racial traits of McLeods is, that the older they get, the less emotional they appear to be and the less expressive they are in respect to their feelings.
The reason for this jubilation of Neal toward this Negro, whose name was Will, was that the two had been playmates on the plantation of Mal¬ colm McLeod, at Decatur, and Will, who had been freed, sought out his old r friend. They spent the day happily together, then Will went on his way — never to be seen by any of the McLeods again.
After the Civil War, times were very hard for the McLeods. Adaline used to spin thread, while Neal, with two of their children, would walk 8-9 miles to sell this thread at the store at Goldridge. Adaline’s brother was killed in the war. Most of Neal’s cousins were killed. From Randolph County itself, there were so many boys who never returned until those who did return felt ashamed. Shortly after the war there was no seed for corn. There was no seed for most crops. Times became so bad that people starved to death in Randolph County. Still Neal held his family together and fed them. He raised rice, oats, barley, corn and wheat. He had ample fruit. There was an apple tree that he planted which grew to large pro¬ portions. It just recently died. Neal gave food all about his county to those who were less fortunate.
Adaline McLeod died in 1874. It was said that she died of consump¬ tion, brought on by bathing in the brook when she first began her menses. She was buried across the road in the family burial plot. The Negro couple that her father had given to her to care for her needs, had already been buried there.
Seven years later Neal McLeod died and was buried beside Adeline. Their son, Daniel, and daughters, Rebecca and Nancy Caroline, are also buried there. This family cemetery is well kept and the graves are per¬ manently marked. Their homestead passed to Malcolm Bethune McLeod, who lived there until his death in 1929. He willed the property to his daughter, Nealie McLeod Albright, who lived there at the time of this writ¬ ing. Adjacent to Neal’s land was the land of his son, William Angus Mc¬ Leod, who lived there until his death in 1945. Neal and Adaline McLeod had the following children.

WILLIAM ANGUS McLEOD SON OF NEAL McLEOD OF RANDOLPH COUNTY, ALABAMA By Ophelia McLeod Wright
William Angus McLeod (D-95 VIII) was born May 26, 1862, and died December 29, 1945. He was born on the McLeod farm at Lofty, Randloph County, Alabama. He spent most of his life in this County.
As a boy he visited his many relatives. When he was nineteen years of age he visited his uncle Angus McLeod and contacted ty¬ phoid fever. Though he was very weak and sick, relatives and friends came for him. When they drove up into the yard, he raised up in his bed and said, “I know why you have come — Pa is dead.” He was right, his father, Neal, had died.
William Angus had the prophetic ability of certain McLeods. He could forsee impending danger.
Some have called this the McLeod second sight.
Soon after the death of his father, William married. He took for his wife Nancy Elizabeth Johns. They were married October 26, 1882. She was the daughter of James Johns, a red haired Irishman, who was rich and shrewd. Johns lived in the Goldridge Community and owned most of the rich bottom land there which was so good for farming. It was said that he turned his crops into gold and buried it in a trunk. A lot of talk has been generated over the years as to what happened to this gold.
16
Celestin was the first child bom to the couple. This girl was sub- equently followed by another girl, Laura Priscilla, who was born in April )f 1886 and lived for only six months. She met with a tragic death. A leighbor was playing with the child and shook her to make the child laugh, is we all wont to do, and the child screamed and died. It was de- ; ermined that she had a broken neck.
Shortly after his marriage William purchased eighty acres of land ap- Droximately 2% miles west of his father’s homestead. Later he added mother forty acres, which was just west of the eighty. He built a small louse on the land, which was subsequently added to over the years. Here le lived the remainder of his life and here he reared his family. He joined he Smyrna Baptist Church, where he was a Deacon for over forty years.
In February of 1903 William Angus and his first cousin, Tom Williams, ind several other neighbors hitched up their wagons to travel to Heflin, \labama, for the purpose of purchasing supplies for the spring planting. While returning from Heflin the group had bedded down for the night mder their wagons, as the journey was a two day trip, William shook his ;ousin beside him and said, “Tom, I must go home, Nancy is calling me.” To the disbelief of his cousin, he continued, “Nancy is dying.” He threw the bridle rein over the head of a blaze-faced horse, named Burl, and be¬ fore his cousin could rub the sleep from his eyes, William was racing to the bedside of his wife.
When William arrived at the door of his house, his second sight proved to be correct, for his children breathlessly met him. They told him that their mother awoke in the night, feverish, and that she was still in bed, very, very sick. Shortly after William arrived, Nancy Johns McLeod died of double-pneumonia. She was buried nearby in the McLeod burial plot at Smvma Church beside her infant twins, who had died two weeks before.
The writer can recall with such clarity, the death of her mother. She, with the older children, were playing in an old wash near the house. The wash was protected by high banks and was about 75 yards from the house. Della, an older sister, came running down to the gully screaming, “You’ll come to the house, Mama is dying.”
The writer was not quite two years of age. She was left alone in this huge washed out gully. It was bitterly cold. No one was with this ; baby, and she screamed and frantically sought a way to get out of the gully, which seemed to be closed in by great walls. Finally she got on top of the wash where she could see the house. The writer’s sister, Celestin, re¬ turned to the wash and picked up into her arms the baby that, in this period of sadness, all had forgotten. She was taken to the house to the bedside of her mother.
17
The writer was held up before her sick mother and Celestin said, “Here is your baby.” My mother’s eyes focused upon the writer for a second and then she departed the family group about her, and her eyes were closed in death.
This gully as well as the entire farm, has meant a great deal in the life of the little McLeods. Aside from the unhappiness just related, it has many pleasant memories. On the upper thirty yards there were the largest and sweetest plums. There were many volunteer peach trees. There were two muscadine vines, one ripened in early fall, the other ripened when the other began to give out and the fruit continued on until frost. This was not all the fruit, for there was a wild grape vine, a large persimmon tree; there were some winter huckleberry trees, which were always full, and then there were pawpaw bushes along the banks. The bank was also rich in switches, which none of us cared for. It was also a rich hiding place for us when we played hide and seek. The old gully has many memories for all of William Angus McLeod’s children, and then, too, for the grand¬ children who discovered the same pleasures as we had.
William Angus McLeod was left to rear nine children, ranging in age from two through eighteen. In March of 1904, William must surely have figured that the children needed a mother. He harnessed his horses to his wagon and left for Carrolton, Georgia. Several days later we heard the screaking wagon as it approached the house. We waited for the wagon with apprehension. Sitting beside William was a tall woman, and beside her was a little girl of seven. The wagon was heaped high with furniture and bedding. Night came, and we all faced the next day with apprehen¬ sion, but we need not have worried, for the new wife of William treated us with love and understanding. The writer can never understand how Bailie Stamps could have had the courage to marry a man with nine children and assume such a burden. She gave birth to a daughter and then two sons before her illness in 1914. Surely tragedy stalked William. Bailie Stamps was taken to a hospital in Atlanta, where it was detrmined that she had locked bowels.
Before my step-mother left for Atlanta, she whispered, “Ophelia, take care of my babies.” She need not have worried, because this woman, who had been such a mother to us all, certainly deserved to have love showered upon her children. This we attempted to do. She died under¬ going surgery and was buried alongside Nancy Johns in the Smyrna Church¬ yard.
For thirty-seven years after the death of Bailie Stamps McLeod, William lived on. He lived like a patriarch, tending his lands as punctual as the rising of the sun. He had a large dinner bell in the yard that promptly sounded at noon for the field hands to come to lunch. Even when the lands ceased to be wholly tended, he liked for the bell to be rung. He
oved his family about him. Even so, like a Captain of a ship, he was always iloof from the rest of the family, and until his death, one always felt him to >e the Chief. The grandchildren were encouraged to come from great iistances and spend the summer, and their love for Grandfather McLeod [iad no bounds.
William was a tall, lean man who looked and acted as though he had $t| a real purpose in life. He wore a white handle bar mustache. He spoke kith a resoulte and purposeful voice. He was greatly respected throughout his life. William was a Democrat and felt most kindly toward the Party for having delivered Alabama and Randolph County from Reconstruc- ion. To the discernment of some of his kin, he felt so kindly toward the Party that, instead of using family names that had been used for centuries, he named two of his children after Presidents who were kindly disposed toward the South.
He was a Prohibitionist, and respecting his wishes, neither of his chil¬ dren ever brought liquors to his house. He was also opposed to card play¬ ing, dancing and gay parties, yet he was not prudish, for he dearly loved good conversation and good books. His house abounded with books, and he encouraged all his children to continue their education.
Throughout Randolph County he was greatly respected. The last thirteen years of his life were spent as a cripple from the effects of arthritis, yet he bore his afflication with such resoluteness until if one had not known that he could not walk, would never have learned of this illness from William Angus. It may be said about William that during a period of great trial and tribulation in the life of his family, like a statesman, he held his family together and prodded them on to better things.

THE McLEODS AND THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES
Family fortunes had been greatly impaired after Neal, the immigrant, served as a soldier in the Highland Army during the war of Independence by the Colonies. Neal not only lost his fortune, but shortly after the war he lost his life. If Neal had lived to make it to Canada, who can say what the fortunes of succeeding generations of McLeods would have been. Surely they would have improved. He was obviously a leader of his people. His father-in-law, John Bethune, went to Canada and took up lands and founded a dynasty that gave to Canada a number of outstanding leaders.
War was nothing new to the descendants of Neal, for it has been pointed out earlier that MacLeods are of Viking descent and probably their single undoing, if it be a fault, is weakness for volunteering for warlike service. Malcolm McLeod (B-4), Neal’s son, volunteered for service in the Indian wars and served on the borders of the frontier of the new American Nation. His son, William, volunteered for service with the army during the war with Mexico. He served the entire campaign, and after being a part of the long drive that pushed Santa Anna out of Texas, being en route home, took fever in New Orleans and died in April, 1848, and was buried there.
At the advent of the great Civil War the fortunes of the McLeods had begun to improve. Malcolm (B-4) had a large plantation near Decatur, Georgia. Neal (B-2) was settled in Clarke County, Alabama, and his brother, John (B-3) was settled in Cuthbert, Georgia. Yet when the war was over, the youth and heart of McLeod manhood had been almost destroyed. John Washington McLeod (C-13), the son of John, had three boys to volunteer for service. They were hardly in their teens. Early in the war all three were killed. Neal McLeod, of Randolph County, Alabama, eldest son Daniel, was killed, being just past sixteen.
The writer cannot set out the names of all those McLeods and des¬ cendants of McLeods who gave their lives, for there were so many that it would blur the reader’s eyes to see the names before him.
Yet during this war, as in all wars that McLeods have fought in, there has always been a particular woman who stood out above and beyond others. Flora McDonald was a kinsman of McLeods and she was a great symbol to
20
the McLeods in their struggles with the House of Hanover. Mary McLeod, the poetess, was another who gave great courage to her men.
Achsah McLeod (D-37) was the daughter of Daniel McLeod (C-8) and grand-daughter of Neal (B-2). At the time of the Civil War she lived at the home of her parents at Grove Hill, Alabama. She was nineteen
years of age, and one of the prettiest girls in Clarke, County. Her family firmly endorsed the Cause of the South. Her father, Daniel, joined the army and was elected a Captain. She never left her county in be¬ half of the Con¬ federacy, but she did as much on behalf of her family and its cause as any women in the South. She must have had forty to fifty relatives from Clarke County who served with the Confederacy. She wrote letters to each of them. Her letters and the correspondence directed to her are classics. Apparently she wrote as much and received as much mail as any woman in the South. She wrote cheerful, newsy letters about the crops, about the recipient’s children, about the livestock, and about the prospects of the War. She never wrote discouraging type of letters, for she had an insight to the man at war and his thinking and she refused to write any news that would encourage a man to give cause to desert. Her letters were faithfully expected by her cousins. When there had been a delay, due to mail interference, one would write, “Cousin, why have you forsaken me — Everyone has quit writing to me, but I never expected that you would, too, Please write.”
Achsah did write to her cousins and they wrote to her. They told of the battles, of the wounded and of the dying. They told her of her other cousins being killed or wounded. One letter directed to her, said, . . . . “Your cousin, John Graham Calhoun, is well and is as good a soldier as one can find in the Confederate Army, for his size. (He was very small.) I shall say something in respect to his bravery on the battlefield. John

fought as hard and as long as any man there, and considerably more than some. Late Sunday evening, when he was called upon to take a certain hill that had been held in dispute between the two armies for some hours, it was, even in that trying time, amid the storm of shot and shell as they swept down his comrades on all sides, he continued to move forward with the same degree of manliness as the best there . . . . ” This was signed by William W. Woods from Missionary Ridge, Tennessee, on November 15, 1863.
She pushed her kinsmen on to fight for the Confederacy. They were true to her bid, and fought and fought. They wrote from Virginia, Tenn¬ essee and Vicksburg, Mississippi. Wherever there was a Confederate troop, there was a cousin writing to Achsah. They wrote of the scenery, of the different foods they tasted, and they wrote of their deprivations — but they wrote to one who suffered and believed as they in their Cause. There were others, no doubt, who suffered from this cause as well, but a soldier away at war needs news of home. Most people cannot, or do not have the in¬ clination to write letters. Achsah substituted for the sweetheart, sister and mother. Her father wrote and wrote to his daughter. At times he wrote as though he were writing to himself. But Achsah wrote back and argued such points raised by her father.
Achsah received a letter from her uncle Malcolm McLeod (C-10), which quite vividly paints the picture of Achsah: “It is always with plea¬ sure that I peruse your communications, for there are but few of my cor¬ respondents that write letters that I esteem so as yours. If all the letters that were written contained the same sentiments that yours do, there would be less trouble in the army. You express a determination to live on your own resources, and thereby you can be defiance to want. Many women of our land write letters to the army detailing scenes of want and destitution al¬ most unheard of in the history of the world . . . yet they have a bad in¬ fluence and are the cause of more than two-thirds of the desertions from our army.
Malcolm’s letters were scholarly written, but throughout they reveal the McLeod’s feeling of duty to fight for his Cause. He later was wounded and suffered immeasurably, but continued to write so vividly of the suf¬ fering of the soldier. Probably a quote from his letter best expresses the sentiments of the soldier at war:
“I pray the great God to spare me to once more see and enjoy the society of wife, children and friends. The wealth of India is poor in com¬ parison to the riches afforded by the society of wife, children and friends . . . . ”
The poet that is inherent in McLeods came forth in Malcolm, and he, seeing the end coming, prophesied his own death with the following poem.
22
which he dedicated to his wife and little children at their home in Ala¬ bama. This poem was written August 10, 1863, while at a Conferedate Camp near Morton, Mississippi.
SONG BALLAD
My friends and neighbors, all farewell,
Your kindness I adore,
But with the solemn truth I tell —
I shall come back no more.
Adieu, adieu — a long farewell My face you’ll see no more,
So plain it is within my view.
I shall come back no more.
O’er hills and dales along the road,
I never was before,
One rolling flood and raging wave —
Where I’ll return no more.
I am now in a distant land —
I come to meet the foe,
My dissolution now at hand,
But I’ll return no more.
Good friends and neighbors all, farewell,
Companions weep no more,
But raise my little children well,
For I’ll return no more.
My wife and children, far at home,
On earth I’ll see no more,
But soon to me you all will come,
Where parting is no more.
My loving wife, refrain from tears, and for me weep no more.
My God — My God — I leave them all On this vile world below In death’s cold arms I soon must fall And to the grave must go.
My wife and children, I am gone,
And for me weep no more.
For you can meet me, everyone,
On Canaan’s peaceful shore.
But if I die away from home,
I hope you’ll be ready soon To meet on Canaan’s shore.
23
This prophesy came true, for Malcolm McLeod, of Clarke County, Alabama, age 39 years, died on the 20th day of December, 1863, from wounds received at the battle of Missionary Ridge.
This ballad has a Norse spirit to it and very easily could have been sung at the time of Leod at a gathering of Leod’s clan in the Long Room of Dunvegan. It speaks of a warrior who fights though he knows that death is imminent. He does not run but stays to face death. He fights be¬ cause there is something within him that says contrary to those things I hold dear, fight I must. Death, Malcolm faced with some uncertainty — though he readily went. This was the Norse spirit and this is the same sentiment sung in the Ballads by the Bards of the Viking.
The war was sad, for it took away the flower of the McLeod man¬ hood. However, one can not surmise what the fortunes of present day Mc¬ Leods would have been if there had been no Civil War. Yet if the war were bad, the suffering during the twelve years of Reconstruction that followed after the end of the war was much worse. Instead of the family going forward, it did not even standstill, for like the rest of Alabama, it retro¬ gressed. Times became so bad for the household of Neal McLeod that they had to shovel the scrappings of soil under where the meat dripped at the smoke house in order to get salt for the table.
The McLeods were left with land, much depreciated in value, and in most cases, dilapidated homes. Having fought with the loser again, they were branded and marked. In Randolph County they were forced to spin their own thread and weave their own cloth. They cooked and read by light of the fireplace, as coal oil was too precious. Times were oppresive and con¬ tinued thus for many years. But being a people that had rich blood and strong forbears, they quietly suffered, and from their bare surroudings, they found simple pleasures and began to build their families anew.
LONGEVITY OF SOME McLEODS
A skillful physician when asked, “How can I live a long life?” quite artfully replied, “The easiest way is to have ancestors who have lived to a ripe old age.” No better answer could have been given, for those persons who have made a study of longevity have learned that the genes play a more active part in our lives than we like to concede. Surely living a long time is a subject of inheritance. We inherit not only the vascular system of our kinsmen but we inherit their nervous system as well. Notice, if you may, all the diseases and infirmities that are subject to being passed on from parent to the child.
Probably such reasons can be given as to why historians search the records of their ancestors. It might be said that they seek to find not only those kinsmen who have had great strength but they seek to find the weak¬ nesses of their ancestors as well. The writer believes that we should study
24
history not merely to find parrallels for the future but to find out what we are. Even moreso, we should study our ancestors to ascertain our com¬ ponents. Surely we can be no more than the genes in our bodies that have come from our ancestors.
Where possible the writer has attempted to set out the deaths and and cause of death of those persons mentioned in this treatise, readily ad¬ mitting that the information listed is too skimpy. The purpose is to make those who read this family work more conscious of such family diseases. It would have been a blessing to future generations if the writer had known, with certainty, the cause of death of all the persons mentioned in this book, in order that the weaknesses of their bodies could be noted by future genera¬ tions as well as those traits for aptitude and courage.
From “The Memoirs of the life and gallant exploits of the old High¬ lander, Sergeant Donald MacLeod”, reprinted by Messrs. Blackie in 1933, with notes by J. G. Fyfe, we learn of an inestimable MacLeod who not only lived a most adventurous and charming life, but he also lived a long life.
Donald McLeod was bom upon the Island of Skye in 1688. At an early age he ran away from home and joined the Royal Scots. He participated in almost all of Britian’s wars. He fought with the Royal Scots under Marlborough, with Argyll at Sheriffmuir, with the Black Watch under Cumberland at Fontenoy, with Fraser’s Highlanders under Wolfe in Canada. And the most interesting aspect of his military career is that at the age of 87 he joined Henry Clinton’s Army in New York. The author says that Donald chased Highland robbers, fought duels, loved, married and beget children. When he was 103 years of age he was living in London, daily attending his favorite pub, telling stories of his own bravery and grumbling at the meanness of the government. He rose no higher than Sergeant, but the fact that he spent three quarters of a century in the army entitles him to a place in military history. Most can see that the longevity of Donald is extraordinary.
We do not know the exact age of Neal, the Migrant, at the time of his death. Yet, we do know that he had not attained his full life because he was on his way to Nova Scotia to find a new home for his family when he died. Obviously he died by accident; however, accident in itself plays a part in whether a person has a long life or not. Accident proneness is a facet that some people seem to have and others do not.
The sons of Neal outlived him in time, and surely outlived the prone¬ ness toward accident, if it ever existed. Death by the water, as was men¬ tioned earlier, was a hazard of the MacLeod of the Hebrides, but that was due to the fact that MacLeods spent such a great part of their lives on and around the waters that bordered the North Sea. That could be said to be an occupational hazard and not a family proneness.
25
Malcolm was fragile as a boy, yet he lived to be 87 years of age. This is a long life. His wife, Rebecca Rooks, was 72 years at her death. She did not live so long as her father, Hardeman Rooks, who lived to a very old age of 98. Still, when one is finding genes of such longlife in his family tree, he cannot be too despaired at such discoveries.
The children of Malcolm did not have as long lives as their father, but on the whole, their lives were long. Sarah Bethune lived to be 79; Neal lived to be 69; Nancy McLeod lived to be 75, and Angus lived to be 85. So. here we find four children out of nine, living to be over sixty-five years of age. Apparently, some of their parents’ secret toward a long life passed on to these four children.
The children of Neal follow somewhat a similiar pattern, as do their predecessors. John McLeod lived to be 64; Malcolm Bethune McLeod lived to be 72; William Angus McLeod lived to be 83, and his younger brother, Neal Thomas McLeod, lived to be similar 83 years of age. So we find that out of these nine children, there were four who lived past sixty years of age.
The reader may draw his own conclusion from these figures, but the fact is obvious that, in this line of Neal’s descendents there is a certain amount of longevity, though it does not compare with that of Donald Mac¬ Leod, the Soldier.

Cousin Wesley was a remarkable person. For years he operated a saw mill in Randolph and neighboring counties. He lived in Alabama a short period, then moved his family back to Carroll County, and he would go to his work on Monday morning and stay until Friday or Saturday. Many are the times he has come to compiler’s father’s home after quitting time on Friday, driving from Cleburne County, or wherever he chanced to be located. He would arrive many times after the family had retired. Com- pilant can almost hear him now calling, “Uncle William?” William would call, “Liza, you girls get up and fry Wesley some ham and eggs and bake him some biscuits.” He and compilant’s father were very happy together. It gave the children much pleasure to listen to their conversation.

In notes the compiler collected from the three Lee girls when visiting in their home in Lyerly, Georgia, in 1958, she has the following note:
“Bob McLeod, No. 418, lived at Carrollton, Georgia, married Etta Hicks.”
It is possible it should have been No. 418, Robert Smith, since there has been no trace of a Bob McLeod in Angus McLeod’s family except Robert McLeod who married a Powell.
The Lee sisters would have known. Writer probably put McLeod when it should have been Smith.
