Angus and Nancy McCutchen McLeod - My Direct Line

Appearing in the 1820 Sumter Census age 45+ and born in Scotland, Angus owned property on Beaverdam Branch in Sumter. He is mentioned in the Von Hacke Records as the father of Daniel McLeod, h/o Jane Christmas, but research has proven that was an incorrect attachment. Daniel McLeod, h/o Catherine McLean was his son, proven by inheritance of property owned first by this Angus and second by Daniel and Catherine, land which is today owned by Daniel and Catherine's great great grandson.
