The McLeod family of Troy, New York, descend from a Scotch ancestor born on the Isle of Skye. His family belonged to the Harris branch of the clan McLeod, seated at Dunvegan, Isle of Skye, Scotland. The clan was divided there into the Harris and Lewis clans. Murdock McLeod, born 1753, came to America during the revolutionary war and settled in North Carolina. He was then about twenty years of age. He served in the British army as corporal in Lieutenant Hamilton's company, and served five years, until 1783. After the war was over he removed to New York state and settled on a farm in the town of Galway, Saratoga county, where he resided many years. After his son Hubert became established in business in Phelps, New York, he removed to that town, where he died March 11, 1843, aged ninety years. He married, in New York City, 1793, Catherine Anderson, and had issue. He and his wife were rigid Scotch Presbyterians, and reared their children in the strict tenets of that faith.
