General Notes: Husband - William McClelland

He became owner of a beautiful farm in Path Valley, near Fannettsburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, where he and his family lived, but having become surety for a friend he lost this estate, and in 1807 was obliged to join the Craigs in Westmoreland County. After living for a time near General Craig's residence, they removed to the vicinity of Craig's mill on the Loyalhanna, where Mr. McClelland was employed as a miller.
