I applied for membership in Clan MacLachlan, using my descent from (5th great grandfather) Lt. Dennis Locklin, veteran of the French & Indian wars and of the American Revolution, delegate to the Vermont Constitutional Convention (after Vermont declared Independence from England). Dennis helped enact the first prohibition of slavery in the nation; NO PERSON was a slave in Vermont after 1777. I was accepted on 12 October and am now officially authorized to wear the Clan tartan and badge.
