General Notes: Husband - Archibald McClean

---

His younger brothers, William, Samuel, John, James and Alexander, were all surveyors, and all at one time or another they were his assistants in the survey of what is now Mason and Dixon's line. He and his brother Moses became deputy surveyors of York County, Pennsylvania, he in the east part of the county, and Moses in what is now Adams County. They laid out "Carroll's Delight," and Archibald, Moses and William, three brothers, secured fine farms in this tract. All the McCleans were early and distinguished defenders of their country in the days of the Revolution. He was a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1776. He was president of a revolutionary meeting in York for "taking effectual measures for putting a stop to forestalling, extortion and the depreciation of the continental currency." This was June 18, 1779. No men in the country were more active and prominent in these terrible times than the McCleans. Archibald lost nearly all his property by the depreciation of the continental money.
