====== McLellan, Archibald ====== 
 (died 15 Jan. 1820), fur trader. He was in the service of the NWC from 1792 (named partner 1805, with effect 1808), being stationed variously at Bas-de-la-Rivière (Fort Alexander, Man.), Rainy Lake, Michipocoten and Lake Athabaska. He was accused of involvement in the murder on the Winnipeg River in 1816 of Owen Keveny, an Irish-born HBC employee and protégé of Lord Selkirk. He was tried at Quebec in 1818 for the murder, but was acquitted. Retired in 1819 from the fur trade, he settled at Williamstown, GC, but died the following year. John A. Chisholm, mayor of Cornwall, was “a descendant.”
