General Notes: Husband - Hugh McClelland


He was the fourth child of his parents in the order of birth.
He was born in eastern Pennsylvania, and came to Washington County with his parents, with whom he lived sometime afterward, laboring on the farm and attending school during a few weeks in winter. About 1810 he commenced learning reed-making with James McKeown, of Washington borough, which trade he followed several years. After his first marriage he followed his trade of reed-making until 1827, in which year he purchased a tract of land in South Strabane township, near where his father located when first coming to Washington County. Here he successfully carried on farming till 1833, when he bought of Frank Stone a large tract of land lying in East Finley township, not far from the Buffalo township line, where he continued to follow agricultural pursuits up to 1862. In that year he retired from active farm work and removed into the borough of Washington, where he lived some years; then took up his residence in Claysville, where he peacefully passed from earth at the patriarchal age of ninety-five years. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and in politics was a Democrat.
