Roderick "Rory" MacLennan

From "Clan MacLennan":

"(Roderick) Rory Maclennan was a native of Kintail, Scotland. He married Mary MacLellan of South Uist, Scotland. Rory, with his wife and family, emigrated to America in 1821. We have been told that Rory and Mary had four sons and one daughter. One son settled in Parrsboro, N.S., one settled in Ontario, Canada, and one emigrated to New Zealand. John and Christine remained in Broad Cove, Cape Breton."

"As Rory and Mary sailed o'er the ocean blue. Like so many Scots, they were strong, brave, and true. So let's doff our hats and to them give praise. For surviving the hardships of those early days."

From page #47 in "History of Christmas Island Parish":
