*** FAMILY HISTORY ***

 Thomas McCall was a shepherd at Inverlair farm, Scotland, and quite well known to the ALLANS. There is an oral story that Thomas McCALL sent 20 pounds to Andrew ALLAN in Scotland, asking him to "find him a wife". He said, "Australian girls are all right, but they can't make butter". Canny Scot Andrew Allan used the money to help pay for the family fare out to Australia in 1860. Once in Australia, he was a sheep dealer at Redbank. Isabella (Allan) died of tuberculosis in 1868.
