Our MACLELLANS came from NORTH UIST--Uibhist a Tuath, Scotland
"Neil and brother Donald came to Cape Breton Island from Paible,North Uist, in the Hebrides-on the west coast of Scotland. They sailed August 24 1845, to Sydney,CB a passage of 24 days. Neil was married and had three children born in Scotland. They emigrated with three or four other families because they were persecuted in the cause of the Gospel. The landlord and factor took their land from them for showing kindness and giving shelter to ministers,etc.of the Free Church"

Thanks to Douglas MacLellan of Calgary, Ab. for his help
It was believed that Sarah was a sister to Alexander,Donald and Neil (Ban)--However new information shows that she was a cousin to "the men"
Sarah's father Malcolm was a brother to Alexander,Donald and Neil (Ban)'s father Angus. We will deal with Sarah under Ferguson's Page. Information supplies by Bob MacVicar
Prof. D.A.Fergusson in his book "The Hebridean Connection" , page 57 tells the above information. However, I cannot find any information on a Donald - I do have information on an Archibald, We do have a family that we have recorded under Donalds name that we know are connected but have no proof of such.
