Who is this the titular McLeod in McLeod’s Daughters?
If you’re new to McLeod’s Daughters, you might have one straightforward question: Who is ‘McLeod’?
We’ve dug through the family timeline to give you a rundown of who’s who in the McLeod family.
Jack McLeod
John ‘Jack’ McLeod was born in 1941 and was one of two children of Hamish and Henrietta McLeod. Hamish and Henrietta founded Drovers Run, and it’s believed that Henrietta ran the farm when Hamish passed away. Jack had four children, Claire, Adam (who was stillborn), Tess and Jodi, although it’s not revealed that Jodi is Jack’s daughter until later in the series.
Jack married Prudence Lachlan in 1968 and gave birth to their first daughter Claire McLeod in 1973. Prue passed away during complications in childbirth after her second child, Adam McLeod, was stillborn.

Jack later married Ruth Silverman, who gave birth to Tess Charlotte Silverman McLeod. For the first five years of Tess’ life, she lived on Drovers Run. Claire and Tess were best friends, playing together on the land. When Jack and Ruth’s marriage came to an end, Ruth took Tess to live in Melbourne, leaving Jack to raise Claire alone.

Claire McLeod
Claire Louise McLeod is the oldest McLeod Daughter, born in 1973. She was born to Jack McLeod and his first wife, Prudence McLeod.
When Claire was 15 years old, she dropped out of school to help her father run the farm. She was incredibly close to her father and struggled a lot after his death. Claire would sometimes forget that he was gone and go to talk to him. After his death, Claire was determined to not give up Drovers Run. Claire had help from Becky, a young farmhand and Meg, the housekeeper who had a loyal relationship with her father. She also, initially, had a difficult time reconnecting with her sister, Tess.

Shortly after their breakup, Claire found that she was pregnant with Peter’s child, and gave birth to BOM’ Baby of McLeod’ in the third season. BOM is given the name Charlotte Prudence McLeod. Charlotte is Tess’ middle name, and Prudence is named after Claire’s mother.
