ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy. -

Mcnair, Mcnear, and Mcneir GENEALOGIES
McNAIR, McNEAR, AND McNEIR GENEALOGIES Compiled oy JAMES BIRTLEY McNAIR CHICAGO PUBLISHED BY THE AUTHOR i9z3 COPYRIGHT 1923 BY ]ADS BIR.TLE1!' MCNAIR All Rights Reserved Published April 1923 Composed and Printed By The University of Chicago Press Chica~o. Illinois, U.S.A. PREFACE In this book is given the legends which show that the McNairs are a division of the MacFarlane clan and that their home was on the borders of Loch Lomond, Scotland. It is also shown that the name Macnayr has been found on documents as early as 1390 and that a coat-of-arms was given by King Robert Bruce to a chieftain of the McNairs at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. All the McNair, McNear, and McNeir genealogies obtainable have been collected in their more or less complete forms. Those in the United States have been arranged as far as possible under the states in which the head of the family resided at the time of the the first census in 1790. In order to show the distribution of McNairs in the United States at that time, that part of the census of 1790 which deals with McNairs is included. It is hoped that a later edition can be published which will con tain more information about the McNairs and McNair genealogies. I wish to express my grateful appreciation to those many members of the clan whose assistance has made this work possible, as well as to Mr. Albert C. McFarland and Miss Mary D. Alexander, of the University of Chicago Press, for careful editing of the manu script.
