Notes for ANNA MCCLELLAND:

The following is quoted from the Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania Biography, Volume XV, published in New York by the Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1924.

The name McClelland, in its original form of Maclellan, is of great antiquity in the south of Scotland, where in ancient times members of the family served as sheriffs or Galloway. This province is peculiarly picturesque, storied and romantic, appealing alike to the lover of wild nature and the student of British history. Kirkcudbright, with its harbor at the head of the estuary carries volumes of romantic story in its streets and in its ivy-mantled castle. The town of Kirkcudbright is the "Kippletringan" of Scott's imperishable tale of the "Guy Mannering." For many centuries the race of the Maclellans has been distinguished in the history of Scotland.

Sir Robert Maclellan, on May 25, 1633, was created a peer by King Charles, the First, by the title of Lord Kirkcudbright to him and his male heirs, bearing his name and arms.

The arms granted to Lord Kirkcudbright were the following:

Arms-- Argent, two chevrons sable.

Crest-- A naked hand, supporting on the point of a sword a Moor's head.

Supporters-- Dexter, a man armed at all points, holding a baton in his hand; sinister, a horse furnished.

Motto-- Think On.

The families in the United States bearing the names of Maclellan, McLellan, McClellan, and McClelland doubtless all sprang from one original stock in the Southwestern part of Scotland, and are entitled to display the escutcheon.

William McClelland, founder of the Pennsylvania branch of the family, was born in Ireland, as was his wife, Ruth (Carlo) McClelland. He emigrated to the American colonies, and after Path Valley, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, was opened for settlement he made entry for land there, June 3, 1762.

Another account is from Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania, Biography, by John W. Jordan, LL.D., Vol. III, New York, Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1914, page 872.

It is thought that all the families in the United States bearing the name of McClellan, McLellan, Maclellan and McClelland are derived from one original stock having its home in the southwestern part of Scotland. About 1646, during the religious war, many families of the name removed from Scotland to Ireland, the migration being probably known in Ireland as the "Ulster Plantation," the settlements being made near Belfast and Dungannon. About 1760-70 numerous families, both from Scotland and Ireland, emigrated to the American colonies, settling in Nova Scotia, New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and the Carolinas. Theologically, the McClellans inclined toward Calvinism. Politically, they were largely Federalists and Whig and are now principally Republican. In Scotland they were loyal to the king, in Ireland they wore the "Orange."

"Laird" McClellan, founder of the Chester county (Pennsylvania) branch of the family, was of Bannagachen, Ireland, and in 1685 was banished to the American colonies on account of the part he had taken in the wars. He was accompanied by three of his children and the family settled in the New Jersey Neighborhood, where they remained until 1689, when news of a favorable change in affairs at home caused the "Laird" to resolve to return. On the voyage he was taken prisoner by the French, but finally arrived at home on the last day of October, 1691. The children remained in America and became the progenitors of the Chester county branch of the family.

The following excerpt is from The Surnames of Scotland by George F. Black, Ph.D., The New York Public Library and Readex Books, first printed in 1946, fourth printing in 1974, LOC #A47-1716.

MACCLELLAN, Macclelland, Macleland, Maclalland, Maclellan, and Maclelland. G. Mac Gill' Fhaolain (the Gillafaelan of the genealogical ms. of 1467), "son of the servant of (S.)Fillan." Fillan, EIr. Faelan, OIr. Failan, is a reduced form of faelchu, from fail, now faol, "a wolf." Maclellans were numerous in Galloway in the latter end of the fourteenth century, and they gave name to Balmaclellan (i.e. Maclellan's town) in the Stewartry. M'Kerlie (III, p. 62) says the lands were granted to John Maclellan by James III in February, 1466, when his name was given to the lands on his bestowing a site for a new church, but I have found no record of this. The lands are mentioned in 1457, in which year Sir Alexander Boyd had sasine of them (ER., vi, p. 347). John M'Lelane filius Dungalli Johnsone had a charter of the lands of Balmaclelane from Vedastus Greresone, dominus de Lag, which received the royal confirmation in August, 1466 (RMS., ii, 907). The earliest record of the surname is in 1305-6 when Patrick, son of Gilbert M'Lolane, with several others took the Castle of Dumfries from

Notes for JESSE MAXWELL:

Taken from newspaper clipping, Feb 1902, Port Byron, IL.

"Saturday, February 1st, Mr and Mrs Jesse Maxwell will celebrate their sixtieth Wedding Anniversary at their home in this village. They have made no extensive preparations for observing the event, but will serve a dinner at which their immediate family will be present.

Jesse Maxwell was born in Westmoreland County, PA., Aug 8th, 1817. Anna McCall was born in Butler County, PA., Jan 4, 1819. They were married Feb 1, 1842 at Salem, PA., left Greenburg April 15, 1844, arrived in Rock Island April 28, 1844 and remaining there three years. They then moved to a farm which Mr. Maxwell purchased in Zuma Township. They moved to Port Byron in September, 1864, he buying the Port Byron-LeClaire ferry boat which he operated for about two years. After disposing of this he was associated with D. S. Metzgar in a stock and grain business which they carried on during the war. Later he became owner of a general store and formed a partnership with his son John, which was disposed of after the laters death. Mr. Maxwell then bought the Port Byron House and after conducting it for some time leased the premises and a short time after it was destroyed by fire. Mr. Maxwell was then urged to enter the hotel business again and he built an addition to his private dwelling which he operated as the Maxwell House and only recently disposed of the property, though the hotel has not been under his management for several years.

To Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell eleven children were born, three dying in infancy, and John O. at the age of 28, Jesse N. at the age of 36. Six are living, as follows; Mary, wife of George D. Moore, of Port Byron, Agnes, wife of A. A. Olin, of Port Byron, Lizzie, wife of Frank E. Rogers, of Port Byron, Ida, wife of W. D. Hall, of Port Byron, Joseph A., of Rock Island, and Thomas of Memphis, Tenn. They have sixteen grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren. Two of the grandchildren, Walter E. Rogers and George D. Olin are in Cuba with the United States troops.

Mr Maxwell comes from a family of sixteen children - eight daughters and eight sons. He is the only surviving son; one daughter, Mrs. J. Stoffer, of Cedar Junction, Kansas, 88 years of age, is also living. In Mrs. Maxwell's family there were seven children, five of whom are living - Hugh McCall of Coe Township, Thomas of Port Byron, William of Greeley, Colo., and Eliza Marshall of Chicago. Mrs. Maxwell comes from a remarkably long lived race. Her parents died at the ages of 76 and 92 years, and her grandparents attained the ages of 99 and 101 years.

Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell readily recall the important happenings in the county's early history. Mr. Maxwell witnessed the execution of the Col Davenport's murderers, he being one of the guards, and it was his sister and Mrs. Maxwell who first discovered the bloody clothing left by the murderers on the grounds in Rock Island where the Wagner brewry now stands.

Mr. and Mrs Maxwell are both members of the Port Byron Congresional Church. The (unreadable) ...ship, and Mrs. Maxwell the (unreadable) members."
