From the book entitled "The Free State - A History and Place-Names Study
of Livingston Parish" by the members of the Livingston Parish American
Revolution Bicentennial Committee in cooperation with the Livingston 
Parish Police Jury and the Louisiana American Revolution Bicentennial
Commission, 1976.  Reprinted by permission.  Dedicated to the memory of
Reuben Cooper and Raymond Riggs.

MCLIN SWAMP, according to Mrs. Freddie Stewart Kinchen, a life-long resident

of the north Albany area, was named for "Hez" McLin (probably Hezekiah).

Mrs. Kinchen said that McLin Swamp is located south of Oscar Kinchen's

present home, which would put it in Section 3, T6S-R6E.

     Although a swampy area is shown in the section on both the 1940

Albany Quadrangle Map and the 1959 Amite Quadrangle Map, it is not

identified by name. ---Clark Forrest, Jr.
