Maconlea and Mconlea in early records

Post by Canadian Livingstone »

Way back when Rob Livingston and I were collecting Maconlea entries whereever we could find them. At one time in the 1600's and 1700's this with some minor variations was an earlier spelling for Macleas/Mcleas.
Here are a few more Maconlea, Mconlea and Mcinlea records from Argyllshire and Bute I noticed recently. The Kilchenan and Dalavitch Parish entries are odd in that the name Macinlea shows up in the records as late as the 1790's. Generally speaking that old spelling was dropped for Maclea, Mclea, or Livingston/Livingstone in the case of the western Argyll groups before that.
