- Ewan McPherson was also known as Uncle Mack.
- He was born on 13 March 1833 in Kingussie, Inverness.
- He was the son of Evan McPherson and Mary Stuart.
- Ewan McPherson was baptized on 29 April 1833 in Kingussie and Insch, Inverness, Scotland
.
- At the time of the 7 June 1841 census, Ewan McPherson was living in the household of Donald Stuart and Janet McEdward in Stranantopar, Kingussie, Inverness, Scotland
. Donald was 70 years old, independent and was born in Inverness Shire. Janet was 60 also born Inverness Shire. Their 8 year old grandson Evan McPherson was living with them. He was also born in Inverness Shire.
- Ewan McPherson appeared on the census of 30 March 1851 in Gervally, Edinkillie, Morayshire. Ewan is shown as a 19 year old farm labourer born Inverness shire. His employer was Alexander Walker who employed 6 labourers.
- He immigrated circa 1875. Just when Ewan came to Australia is uncertain. His death certicate shows he was 25 years in NSW, and 9 years in Victoria which means he immigrated 34 years before his death (about 1875) when he was 42. Just when he spent the nine years in Victoria is also uncertain. However, family hearsay has him coming out to Australia when he was 18 years old. According to the hearsay he had remained with his grandmother Stuart, along with his sister "Lillian" who supposedly died on the voyage out with Ewan. Ewan later lived at Teven and was known as Uncle Mack.
- In 1878, Ewan took up a conditional purchase of 60 acres of land at Teven.
- In 1982 his niece Topsy recalled some of her family history -
" What I know of my Macgregor forebears was very sketchy. One Macpherson married Mary Stewart and left her a widow with two children, Ewan and Lillian.
Mrs Mary Macpherson then married one Macgregor and emigrated to NSWales. The paternal grandmother of Ewan and Lillian kept them in Scotland saying she would not let them go to "that God forsaken country".
Mary Stewart Macgregor and her husband reared several children two of them girls. Isabella (married Robert Reid) and Jean (married George Woods) and several boys. One eventually became a post master.
Mr and Mrs Macgregor settled on a farm. I think it was on the Paterson River, north of Sydney. The sons worked the farm and great grandfather Macgregor, who was always dressed up, sold the produce. He had been a game keeper in Scotland, a very honourable profession in Scotland according to my mother in law whose father, Robert Bain, was Head Forester for the Duke of Argyle.
Mrs Mary Stewart Macgregor reared a family of young children (I've forgotten their name) when their mother died. I heard that one lived at Bangalow and one in Queensland when they grew up.
Eventually Lillian and Ewan Macpherson emigrated to NSW but Lillian died from the effects of the long voyage. I suppose Ewan joined his own mother and later he became a cedar getter in Northern NSW.
Ewan and the others were all born at Inverness. Ewan never married. He bought or selected a sugar cane farm of 220 acres at Teven Creek and called it "Glenfeschie". However, he neglected it and spent his time making illicit spirits. Years after he died his "still" was at the back of the farm. The bank sold up "old Mack" as he was called and my father bought the farm for one pound per acre. Goodness knows what it is worth now. He remained in half the house on the farm for sometime. It was built by an American and a lot of timber in it was Cedar and Rosewood. My Dad and Mum had the other half of the house.
Mum's brothers often came up from Sydney and stayed with Uncle Mack. He taught my mother how to make bread and I was rather unpopular with him as a toddler because he gave me a piece of his "cake' and I said I didn't like it.
Eventually Uncle Mack became a Post Master at Teven Creek. It was over two miles away and near the school. He then lived on the other side of the creek in a little pretty rain forest spot called Sunny Corner and rowed over to tend the Post Office every day.
When he used to make his illicit spirits he rowed down Teven Creek, Emigrant Creek, Fishery Creek and I think the Canal to Ballina where he sold it. The mush must have been very strong for it was a long hard row.
I'm sorry I don't know any more"
