William Norman McLeod, a Scotch Highlander, who married twice, the second wife being of the MacKenzie family; and she was sister of the celebrated Sir Alexander MacKenzie, who was knighted for his daring explorations. Allen McLeod was her only son, but he found himself the possessor of three half-brothers by his father's former marriage. These three half-brothers joined the United States army during the War of 1812; and one of them, Neal McLeod, was killed by the Indians. The others escaped with their lives, and served to the close of the war, when the three were discharged at Charleston, S.C. Murdock remained at the South; but Norman came North and later was the father of the noted Episcopal clergyman, Dr. William Norman McLeod. The grandfather, William N. McLeod, died three months before his son Allen was born. The grandmother (MacKenzie) died, and was buried near her husband in Johnstown, N.Y.

This was taken from a Biographical Review of Wyoming County, N.Y.; the subject being Ronald McLeod, the son of Allen McLeod. Ronald and his brother, Alexander McLeod, were the founders of Duncan City, MI. Ronald was also one of the first hotel owners on Mackinaw Island, when he purchased the John Jacob Aster house, around 1850. Ronald also had a brother, John R McLeod, who was the founder of Epoufette, MI. There was also a brother, Charles McLeod, who also came to Michigan and started one of the first saw mills in Monominee, MI.

John R McLeod is my ggreat-grandfather. I do have some more info if I can be help to anyone.
