  Biography Notes	Registered only as Jeff & not as Jeff Jeffreys as was his cousin. Son of Hugh the elder & who died of measles at Adelaide SA at the age of 13 & who has been constantly confused with this Jeff of Hugh the Younger & vice versa. Jeff was living at Strathalbyn and unmarried in 1896. "Southern Argus" published 12/11/1896 - (Thursday): "A Nasty Cut (heading). Mr Jeff McLean, while leading some horses on Thursday morning had a nasty fall from his horse which made an unexpected turn round a corner. Mr McLean fell on his head, some ugly cuts being the result as well as a severe shaking which gave him a great deal of pain for several days." Jeff seems to have left Strathalbyn about the same time as his brother went to the Kalgoorlie goldfields and himself went to Broken Hill NSW (Researcher later added this note; at WAGS lecture about the beginnings of Broken Hill; the town was "a part of SA" for a long period of history due to its proximity and a railway in the earliest days of settlement of a population varying up and down of 40,000 ppl. Lorna McLean 01/12/2016) DEATH: according to some of his family - at Broken Hill aged 33 years in 1906. The following in the "Southern Argus" under General News on 15/1/1885 probably also refers to Jeff McLean when he was aged about 12 Years:- "An accident to a lad named McLean here yesterday morning. He was riding a horse to water when the animal reared up and fell backward on him, hurting his back. He was at once taken into the Robin Hood Hotel and Dr Young was promptly in attendance. The sufferer was able to walk home in a few hours time."
