Source: The Dewar Manuscripts p81
From Mr Archibald MacLean, Glaic near South Hall. He is an old man of 85 years of age, and can tell a tale punctually, without stopping or hesitating. He lives in an old-fashioned house, with a lothin brace in the kitchen instead of a vent, which lets the heat of a fire out through the house better than a vent does. His furniture is not of the costly ornamental kind, but convenient and comfortable. His brother Lauchan is a boat-builder and has the name of being such a good tradesman that there is not a better.

Source: Death Certificate Mary McLean: was aged 38 at time of death
Source 1851 sensus shows her as being 5 years old and living with father John and grandparents Archibald and Janet at Glaic. It shows her as being born in Greenock.
The 1871 census shows her as being 25 years old but born at Inverchaolain and daughter of John McLean married to Mary McIntyre, all living at Glaic.
When John marries Mary McIntyre it states he is a batchelor so it is possible that John McLean and Jane McArthur were not married.
