Sarah McLean¹

#457, (1842 - )

Father

Martin McLean¹ (1815 - )

Mother

Mary McGilvray¹ (c 1816 - )

Pedigree

Child of Sarah McLean and Charles McHenry

Lizzie McHenry⁵ (c 1862 - )

Life Events

Birth

Sarah McLean was born on 24 Sep 1842 in Vaughan Township, York County, Ontario.
[The baptism record says born 24 Sep 1843, bapt 9 Apr 1843. The baptisms are in chronological order so it seems likely that the recorder erred and the birth was in 1842]¹

Baptism

She was baptized on 9 Apr 1843 in Maple Presbyterian Church, Vaughan Twp, Ontario.¹

(with Parents) 1851/2 Census

Sarah appeared on the 1852 Census of Vaughan Township, York County, Ontario with her parents. She was born in Canada, Free Presbyterian, age 10 on her next birthday, and attended school.²

(with Parents) 1861 Census

She appeared on the 1861 Census of York County, Ontario with her parents. She was 18 years old [as of next birthday] and born in Upper Canada.³

Marriage

She married Charles McHenry on 6 Dec 1861 in Peel County, Ontario.
Details from the index [original record not yet consulted]: Sarah McLean, 19, birthplace Canada, residence Albion, parents Mathew [sic] & Mary; Charles Mchenry, 23, birthplace England, residence Albion, parents Charles & Elizabeth.⁴

Research Note

The Martin McLean family immigrated to Illinois about 1866. Don't know if Sarah and Charles did as well. In the marriage index, Sarah's father was transcribed as Mathew but in the 1880 census Lizzie McHenry (age 18, born in Canada) was enumerated with grandparents Martin & Mary. So, Sarah's marriage to Charles McHenry is likely the correct record.
