In working on something else, I stumbled upon a Petition from Robeson County, N.C. from 1840, where a McLea is mentioned.

Specifically, it is Oleander McLea, quite the interesting name.

The petition itself is rather disagreeable in content (involving suppressing the drinking habits of "free people of color") but I include it here incase we should find any descendants of Oleander McLea out there!
