• Notes

  Malcolm and Stewart McLeod, together with their cousin Peter McLeod, sailed from Glasgow on William Rankin's famous Clipper Ship the Daniel Rankin on the 5th of September 1863. It was a record breaking trip of 90 days under Captain Alexander Muller, carrying 155 passengers and cargo, which arrived in Port Chalmers on the 7th December 1863. The Daniel Rankin, a 193.3 sailing clipper of 1048 tons was wooded sheathed with yellow metal, wooden masts and spars and was built to special surveys in Deumbarton, Scotland in 1858. Stewart McLeod was 34 years of age when he migrated to Otago. He first worked on farms at Brighton, Kurl Bush and Taieri Mouth and later moved to Woodside, West Taieri, where for many years he was associated with his brothers, Malcolm, Thomas and William in the proprietorship of the Woodside Dairy Factory. He married Elizabeth Grant of Granton Farm and engaged in its management for a long period. Granton consisted of 160 acres of rich Taieri land and in addition more land was leased from the Shand Estate. Stewart McLeod, like many other of that ilk had a long and successful life and passed away in 1912 at the age of 83. His wife Eliabeth died on 17 Apr 1934 aged 91 years.
