Hi Francis
I would be very interested to know more about John McLean and his slave plantations in Carriacou. My ancestors were slaves on his Grand Bay Estate

I am a direct descendant of George McLean, John's brother. Can anyone help me to trace George's and John's parents and /or their ancestors? Many thanks in advance.
