General Notes: Husband - George McLean
He was born 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, Erie County, Pennsylvania, 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 goodbye to their friends and the old log house which had been a shelter for their eleven children, leaving with two wagon loads, 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-five miles, they arrived at the home of the son W. Edwin, who had located there 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 was thereafter known as the McLean farm. There they lived the remainder of their lives, hardworking, prosperous farmers. There the scene of pleasant home gatherings; there 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 were hung up to dry, after which they joined in song, the father leading, each one carrying his own part.
