In the 1890's, two McLean brothers, Neil and Dan, built two houses up on the hill in Belvedere. At the time, they were the only houses on the hill. Dan McLean was Madelyn's grandfather. Madelyn's parents, William and Mary McLean, raised Madelyn in the Neil McLean house while her grandparents, Dan and Carrie, lived on the other side of McLean Lane. The current owner of the Neil McLean house, John, graciously offered us a tour of his home where our Madelyn was raised and where her children have fond memories of visiting as children.

Interesting Aaron. I'd never heard of this history of Aunt Madelyn.
