- Book: Ernst Ludwig Fischer, Thomas Alfred Fischer, and John Kirkpatrick . The Scots in Sweden . 1907 . Maclier's son John became President of the Court of Justice in Goteborg (1639 - 1696); but whilst the father's name was one of the most respected in the town—he having been foremost in promoting public welfare and liberally contributing towards the erection of church and school buildings—the son's circumstances do not seem to have been equally favourable, for in 1697 we find one Pollrath Tham offering for sale a diamond ring which he held in pledge from him for some loan. A later scion of this race, David, a Colonel, was made a Swedish "Friherre" (baronet) and took the name of Maclean. .
