McLea in Nova Scotia

Post by Kyle2 MacLea »

I continue to wonder about famous McLea in Nova Scotia (though none appear in the recent Nova Scotia Genealogy records I have referenced elsewhere). There is the late Speaker of the Canadian Senate, Wishart McLea Robertson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wishart_McLea_Robertson And now I have discovered that actor Donald Sutherland, who hails from N.S., also has a relative with a McLea middle name--his father, Fred McLea Sutherland (also spelled McLae in some places). http://www.filmreference.com/film/0/Don ... rland.html Because Fred Sutherland was born not long after Wishart McLea Robertson, it seems highly like that they take their McLea middle names from the same person or persons, or family in N.S. Would love to know more, although my initial posting about Wishart received little in the way of speculation.
