     John S. McLean was born on 11 June 1748 at co. Antrim, Ireland; Date from both McLean Family Bible and SAR applications. POB = Ireland from SAR application; POB=co. Antrim from YCHS Family Group Sheet; Sexton [1883:268] and Jordan [1915:III:1683] also say he was from Co. Antrim, Ireland. Date also appears on his grave maker as transcribed at Cemetery Burials in Yates County.^{3,7,8,9,10,11,12} He married Sarah Armstrong, daughter of Alexander Armstrong Sr. and Elizabeth E. (?), on 31 August 1779 at Cumberland Co. (now Juniata Co.), Pennsylvania, USA,
;      Sexton [1883:268] says: "At the close of his service he married Sarah Armstrong, daughter of James Armstrong, likewise of Scotch-Irish descent, but early settled in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. His first place of residence after marriage was at Mifflin, on the Juniata River, where five children were born - James, William, John, alexander and Elizabeth."
     B Wilson on Ancestry says m. 31 Aug 1779. SAR application #50381 says m 1776. SAR application #67810 says m 31 Aug 1779.
     Since John McLean was in militia service until at least 1782, it's possible that the marriage was in or after 1782, but most sources use the 31 Aug 1779 date. Their son, William F. was born in 1780 so a marriage date of 1779 (or earlier) is more likely than 1782. (G Vaut 1 Jan 2015.)^13,14,9,6,15
John S. McLean died on 9 August 1841 at Benton Township, Yates Co., New York, USA, at age 93; Obituary: Tioga Eagle, Wellsborough, Tioga Co., PA, Wednesday, December 29, 1841: "John McLean
Another Revolutionary Patriot; a well as devoted Christian, gone. Died--At his residence in Benton, Yates county, New York, on the 9th day of August, 1841, after a short illness, John McLean, at the advanced age of upwards of 93 years. It may be interesting to a numerous circle of friends of the lamented deceased, to notice some events of his protracted life. He was born in the North of Ireland in June 1748, where he resided till 1769, in which year he took passage for this country, and after a tedious voyage of three months and 13 days, landed in the city of Philadelphia. From this period to 1776, he resided in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. At this eventful era, a time that emphatically “tried mens’ souls,” he enlisted as one of the devoted defenders of his adopted country, to sacrifice his life to protect its just rights and liberties, or to aid with his brethren in arms to establish its independence.--From this time to the close of the glorious Revolutionary struggle, he heroically fought the battles, patiently endured the sufferings and privations, and bravely shared the dangers of Washington’s trustiest bands. He was engaged in the battles on Long Island and White Plains in 1776, and in December of that year, he with the army under Washington crossed the Delaware at Trenton, where 900 Hessians were then taken prisoners. In 1777 he was also in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown, the former fought the 11th of September, and the latter on the 4th of October of that year. The sufferings of the subject of this brief sketch, in common with the American army, particularly while in winter quarters at Morristown and at Valley Forge, for want even of all the common necessaries of life, cannot be adequately described, and indeed never would have been endured, except by men whose bosoms were warmed by the holy fire of patriotism, and whose hearts glowed with the holy zeal of liberty. When the Revolutionary army was disbanded in November 1783, he returned to his former residence in Mifflin county, Pennsylvania, where he remained till 1795, when with some two or three other families, he removed to Geneva, and after a short period located himself near that village on the old Castle Farm. In 1799 he settled upon the farm in Benton, Yates county, when he resided in the time of his death. The venerable deceased was a Patriot indeed, and more than this, he was a sincere Christian, and departed trusting in the mercy of his Saviour, with full assurance of hope in His pardoning blood."

Reprinted on on 19 Jan 1842 (p. 3, columns 3 and 4) with addition of death notice of Sarah (Armstrong) McLean: "On the 3d day of September las, being 3 weeks and 4 days subsequent to the decease of her venerable and bloved consort, died in Benton, Yates co., Mrs. SARAH McLEAN, wife of John McLean, in her 87th year. This aged matron in Israel departed also in the triumphs of the Christian's faith. As this venerable couple had lived peacefully and happily for an unusual length of years, the departed this life nearly at the same time. - Penn-Yan Democrat."^{16,3,17,18,19,20}

from Find A Grave:
      ; from Sexton [1883], p. 268: He [Captain James Goodrich] married Deborah Armstrong McLean at Benton Centre, then Ontario County, N.Y., January 24th 1815. Her father was a Scotch-Irishman, born at Antrim, county Antrim, Ireland, about 1748; who, leaving his widowed mother, Elizabeth Fleming McLean, and a sister, came to America, landing at the city of Philadelphia, after a three months' voyage, in the year 1775. His intention was to see the country, and, if satisfied with it, return the following year and bring his mother and sister; but the embargo on commercial intercourse between the two countries, ensuing on the opening of hostilities that intervened, prevented; and, with that instinct that usually arrays Irishmen against the British government--which influenced many prominent men of that nation, residents in this country at that period, for which a lasting gratitude should be due--he joined the patriot forces as a private. He served three years, enduring much hardship and passing through the battles of Long Island, White Plains and Brandywine, the encampments of Valley Forge and White Marsh, the battles of Germantown, Trenton and Monmouth, and was present at the execution of Major Andre, at Tappan. At the close of his service he married Sarah Armstrong, daughter of James Armstrong, likewise of Scotch-Irish descent, but early settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. His first place of residence after marriage was at Mifflin, on the Juniata River, where five children were born--James, William, John, Alexander, and Elizabeth. In 1796 the family removed to Geneva, N.Y., the house hold effects and a part of the family ascending the Susquehanna in a bateau while the farm stock was driven by the way of Williamsport and the Williamson road. Settlement was first made at the Castle farm, three miles from Geneva, where was born Red Jacket, the celebrated Indian chief of the Seneca tribe. Here George McLean and his sister Deborah were born. Subsequently the family moved to Benton Centre, three miles from West Dresden and one and a half miles west of Seneca Lake, and settled on a farm purchased of the Pulteney estate. Here John McLean died August 9th 1841, aged 93 years; and Sarah, his wife, September 8th 1841, aged 88 years; and their remains now lie in the Dresden Cemetery, which overlooks the lake.^23,6

; from Jordan [1915:III:1682-8]
(The McLean Line.)
The McLean's have every reason to be proud of their history and ancestry. It may be regarded as an unquestionable fact that the McLean's are purely of Highland origin. They can trace their origin with precision to Old Dougall of Scone, who must have flourished about the year l 100, and has been described as an influential, just and venerable man. Of all the clans, none is more deserving of honorable mention. For centuries it held a conspicuous place for independence of bearing and disinterested loyalty in the history of Scotland. Rapidly grew until it reached its zenith, at which time, during the reign of James VI., it was accounted the most powerful of any in the Hebrides.

The lands belonging to the clan at the time of the final forfeiture of the Lords of the Isles (1493) comprised the greater part of Mull, the whole of Coll and Tierce, portions of Scarba, Islay, and districts in Morvern and Knapdale.

Similar to all Highland names, that of McLean has undergone many changes. Perhaps none other can exhibit a greater variety of more curious fluctuations. The clan takes its name from Gilleain, known as Gilleain na Tuaidah, who flourished about the year 1250. To this name, the word Mac, meaning son, is added, showing the clan is composed of the sons of Gilleain. The official records of Scotland gave many curious spellings, which either prove that there was no established form or that the scribes were very indifferent as to correctness. The oldest spelling is that recorded by Stoddart, whose Gilleain's son's name is spelled Gilleain Malsilyn.

The fifteenth century presents no less than twelve different ways of recording the name, while in the sixteenth century there were twenty-seven different modes, and we find in 1546 McLean first spelled as the name is written here.

John S. McLean was born in Ireland, June 11, 1748. He was the son of a rich gentleman; was well educated; reared in luxury and wealth; had black hair and brown eyes; was a man about 5 feet 80 inches tall, and good looking. Possessing a great desire to visit America he came to this country. When the Revolutionary War broke out he enlisted in service. In Captain Denton's company, New York Line, he became lieutenant, militia Dutchess county, Seventh Regiment of New York, serving seven years for his adopted country. He was heard to relate that for three days he went without any food, having only tobacco, and after a day's hard fighting, laid down on the battlefield, in the morning finding his hair frozen to the ground in the blood of his slain comrades. He intended to again return to his native land and had a great desire to do so, but on hearing of the death of his father and that he would have nothing to return to, as the oldest son would inherit all, the desire7 ceased and he remained, learning the cooper's trade in order to make a living. On August 31, 1779, he married Sarah Armstrong. They had lived some years in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and during the latter part of the eighteenth century moved to West Benton, Yates county, New York. He was one of the first members of the Presbyterian church there, which he helped to build. He lived to the good old age of ninety-three years, always enjoying the blessings of good health. Their children were:
l. William, born October 23, l780, married Elizabeth, born July 25, 1791.
2. Alexander, born August 31, 1782.
3. Elizabeth, born October 10, 1784.
4. Alexander, born January 18, 1785.
5. Mary, born November 15, 1787.
6. John A., born June 22, 1790·
7. George, of whom further.
8. Sarah, born May 17, 1795.
9. Deborah, born August 15, 1797.

George McLean, son of John S. McLean, was born March 7, 1793· in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. In early life he moved to West Benton, Yates county, New York. On hearing of the great wooded country by the glowing accounts written them by two of their sons, Daniel S. and W. Edwin, who had come to Waterford township and built their homes, he and his wife decided to leave the town of Pulteney, Steuben county, New York, and journeyed to the far West as it then seemed to them. On Monday the first of April, 1847, they bade good-bye to their friends and the old log house which had been a shelter for their eleven children, leaving with two wagon load s, two loads of household goods having been shipped from Canandaigua, thirty miles distant from Pulteney. A spring wagon carried the father, mother, Deborah, Drusilla, Ansel P. and Sarah Jane, Lewis H. making the entire journey on foot. Sarah Jane, then only nine years old and small of her age, having recovered from an attack of the measles and wearing green goggles to keep the bright rays of "Old Sol" from her eyes, often was spoken to by the people as they journeyed from village to hamlet as the "little old grandmother". On Saturday night, after six days of travel across country, a distance of about one hundred and seventy-fi ,·e miles, they arrived at the home of the son W. Edwin, who had located here a year or two previous to this. They lived on the Wilson Moore farm in a log house for one year, then moved to the Clemens farm on the Turnpike road two and one-half miles south of Waterford. This farm comprised three hundred and fifty-six acres, and has since been known as the McLean farm. Here they lived the remainder of their lives, hard-working, prosperous farmers. Here the scene of pleasant home gatherings; here the wanderer found rest and shelter for the night. The young people of the neighborhood enjoyed many a delightful evening at this home; many a winter's evening the family were gathered around the fireplace paring apples, long strings of which are hung up to dry, after which they joined in song, the father leading, each one carrying his own part. Here grandfather heard the summons, "Well done, come up higher," on March 17, 1872, and grandmother followed June 5, 1875.

He married, November 19, 1815, Elizabeth Sebring, who died June 5, 1875, daughter of Abraham and Nancy (Harris) Sebring, of Seneca county, New York. Abraham Sebring was a son of John C. Sebring, who was the father of two other sons, namely: Folkard, born 1759, died May 12, 1837, buried in McNeal Cemetery, Lodi, New York, and Cornelius, born August 17, 1763, died March 2, 1828, married and had a son, John C., also a grandson, John C., of Lodi, New York. John C. Sebring Sr. and another man owned a fleet of ships which were captured by the French in 1800. Abraham Sebring, the oldest son of John C. Sebring, was born June 23, 1758, in Bridgewater, Somerset county, New Jersey, died April 16, 1839, buried in Le Compt Cemetery Lodi, New York, as was also his wife.

; Evidence regarding identity of the Sarah ARMSTRONG who married John S. MCLEAN
     Sexton [1883, p. 268]: "At the close of his service he married Sarah Armstrong, daughter of James Armstrong, likewise of Scotch-Irish descent, but early settled in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania."
     There was a James Armstrong in "Paxtang" (now Paxton), Lancaster Co. in the 1740's. I don't know if this James Armstrong is related to/a descendant of that 1740's James or not. G Vaut 18 June 2015.
     I believe that the fact that John McLean lived next door to Alexander ARMSTRONG in the 1790 Mifflin Co., PA census and that they lived close to each other when they moved to Ontario Co., NY (see 1800 census Jerusalem, Ontario Co., NY) supports the idea that there was a close family link. This increases the probability that the Sarah ARMSTRONG that John married was closely related to Alexander ARMSTRONG, and possibly his daughter. G Vaut 18 June 2015.^6,29,30,31

from Wikipedia: "The Battle of Crooked Billet was a battle in the Philadelphia campaign of the American Revolutionary War fought on May 1, 1778 near the Crooked Billet Tavern (present-day Hatboro, Pennsylvania). In the skirmish action, British forces under the command of Major John Graves Simcoe launched a surprise attack against Brigadier General John Lacey and three regiments of Pennsylvania militia, who were literally caught sleeping. The British inflicted significant damage, and Lacey and his forces were forced to retreat into neighboring Bucks County."^41,44,38

; from Cleveland [1873:300]: "During the last year or two of the eighteenth century, there came a colony of settlers from Pennsylvania, who located in east Benton, some of them in what is now Torrey. Among them was Anthony Trimmer, who was descended from Scotch or Irish people, who had settled an early colony in Northumberland county, Pa. His wife was Sarah Howard, a sister of Thomas Howard, also an early settler and noted citizen, who resided about one mile north of Hopeton. The Armstrongs, Harts, McLeans, Howards and Trimmers were all members of the same colony."⁷⁶

John S. McLean lived with George Armstrong on 7 November 1809 at Citation, Benton Center, Yates Co. (now), New York, USA; Cleveland [1873:I:354-5]: "The Presbyterian Church of Benton.
The father of the Presbyterian church in Benton was Stephen Whitaker, who, within two or three years after his first settlement in the town, and as early as 1802, commenced holding prayer meetings and induced his neighbors to meet and listen to the reading of sermons. Occasionally a missionary would visit them, and one of the, John Lindsley, organized a Presbyterian church of sixteen members, in Stephen Whitaker's log house, Nov. 7, 1809. The members were Stephen Whitaker, and Mary, his wife; John Armstrong and Susannah, his wife; John Hall, and Sarah, his wife; John A. McLean, and Sarah, his wife; George Armstrong, and Elizabeth, his wife; Solomon Couch, William Roy, Terry Owen and wife; William Read, and Rebecca, wife of Robert N. Boyd."

John S. McLean and Sarah Armstrong appeared in the census of 1830 at Benton Township, Yates Co., New York, USA; [Note: There are three John "McLeans" in the 1830 census for Benton, Yates Co., NY: one on p. 304 (which is a "John A. McLean" and seems to be the son, John Armstrong), one on p. 311, and one on p. 301 (next to a William McLean)] Since John's wife, Jane was still alive in 1830 and this record lists a female aged 70-79, I imagine that this may be the correct John.]
