| Name |
John McLean |
 Birth |
1790 |
Lynvale, Isle of Skye, Scotland  |
- Birth location per his 1831 Marriage record [1]
- Arrivial ship's manifest lists his age as 35 (b. c.1902)
Burial record (tombstone inscription) tests his age as 86 (b. c.1790) - Many of the bounty immigrants lied about their age. The scheme was designed to bolster the population of NSW with young farming families and the cut off age may have been 40 yrs old for males. This John McLean, arriving in 1837 with his wife Marion and children, was likely 47 yrs old on arrival, misrepresenting his age by a little over 10 years to gain access to the program.
