McLean and McKinnon law firm

Notice biographique

The law firm of McLean and McKinnon was an institution of long-standing in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Angus A. McLean practiced law as early as 1880 in Charlottetown when the firm was known as McLean and Martin. After several changes in name and partnerships, it became McLean & McKinnon between 1900 and 1904 when McLean went into partnership with a young lawyer, Donald McKinnon. This firm took over many files formerly handled originally by Edward Bayfield and then by the firm of Bayfield and Blanchard including Bayfield, Freeland, Peters and Poole estate papers. The firm continued under the name McLean & McKinnon until at least 1950 although, by that time, the partnership consisted of Donald and Malcolm McKinnon.

Historique de la conservation

Présentation du contenu

The fonds consists of a loans ledger kept by A. A. McLean, 1883-1903 and a photograph of the interior of the law office in 1908 when it was located at 134 Richmond Street. Included in the photograph are Angus A. McLean, Donald McKinnon, Marion McKinnon, stenographer and an unidentified law clerk or student.

It also contains many legal and property documents relating to several estates handled by both the Bayfield and the McLean and McKinnon law firm over the years. Edward Bayfield (1847- ?) was the second son of Admiral Henry Wolsey Bayfield. He became a lawyer in private practice in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island in 1872. Bayfield's sister, Fanny Gertrude Mary was married in 1869 to Russell George Freeland, an English military officer who later acquired property in Charlottetown and elsewhere in the province. On the death of Admiral Bayfield, a number of property-based trusts were established involving members of the Bayfield and Freeland families. Edward Bayfield moved to British Columbia sometime before 1920.

Among the papers inherited from this firm were the Russell Freeland estate, the C. M. Bayfield estate, the Margaret Peters estate and the Lemuel E. Poole estate. Documents include conveyances, leases, mortgages, mortgage ledgers, insurance papers and correspondence relating to the administration of the estates. Most of the land documents are copies of material registered in the Registry Office. There is additional family documentation including marriage and birth certificates for members of the Bayfield family.
