Notes - James and his family emigrated to McNab township in 1825 on the ?Niagara? . There was growing dissention towards the Laird of McNab and in 1837 James moved to Horton Township to 100 acres that he purchased and maintained some years earlier. The Farm at Lochwinnoch was assumed by son Donald. The farm in Horton was passed to his eldest son Robert and then to his son John upon his retirement. To date (2008) on the Burnstown road on the east side the original log house still stands with a memorial cemetery in the back recognizing many of the Mclaren and Stewart families. A few yards south on the east side of the road sits a later version of the Mclaren farm house in yellow Brick.
"Of the children of James McLaren: Mary, who died in Renfrew a year or two ago, was the eldest and the only one born in Scotlancl. All the others were Canadians -- Robert, the well-known citizen, for so many years Secretary of the South Renfrew Agricultural Society and holding other responsible positions; Elizabeth (the late Mrs Alex. Stewart, of Horton); Donald, now on the original farm in McNab township; Margaret (the late Mrs John R. Stewart, of Renfrew); John, who died in 1844, when about ten years of age; Duncan, the well-known stock-farmer of Bromley township; Malcolm, of Maynooth, in Hastings county; and Christina, who died in infancy. To·the 100 acres originally purchased by James McLaren, Robert afterwards added 100 more to the east." (Campbell, Rev. Robert, and Smallfield, William Elgood, The Story of Renfrew - from the coming of the first settlers about 1820 to 1928, p. 14. Mercury Newspaper Publishing, 1914, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada)
