Born and raised in Michigan, Pat Jackson loves horses, knitting, reading and travel. She started tracing her Maclain ancestry in 2011, and found Uriah McLain, a patriot of the American Revolution.
The discovery of Scottish ancestors led her and her sister Paula to attend a local Highland festival. In 2014 they became involved in Clan Maclean, as conveners, and hosts.
As acting Director of Region 3, Pat is working to connect with more Scottish “cousins.” Hosting clan tents, and trying to recruit more people to convene, and host, throughout Region 3 is her current goal.
Since retiring, in 2015, she is looking forward to discovering more about her clan history, and meeting more cousins. A trip to Duart Castle is her wish for the near future.
