Biography

Mary McLeod was born about 1894, in Prince Edward Island, Canada. She came to the United States in 1919. She married Charles J. McLean about 1925. They settled in South Boston, Massachusetts, and had three children there:^[1][2]

1. Mary E. McLean, born about 1925.^[1]
2. John Eric McLean, born December 9, 1928; married, August 31, 1957, Mrs. Ann Marie (Martin) Hudson; died January 12, 2010.^[1][3][4]
3. Charles Edward McLean, born January 14, 1930; died unmarried, December 12, 1973.^[1][5]

According to the 1940 Census, her two sons, John and Charles, had been living with a Ms. Catherine Rooney, of Woburn, Massachusetts, where they were designated as "city wards," since at least April 1, 1935. It can therefore be assumed that both parents were deceased prior to that date.^[6]
