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.3,7,8,9,10,11 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 eraly 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 says m 1776.
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."

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.

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.

Memo: NOTE: There are 1788 warrant transactions by: 1) Thos Howard, John McLean and George Armstrong; and 2) Alexander and Margaret Armstrong for land in Beaver Dam Township "adjoining land of Epenetus Hart". This probably refers to this 1787 warrant for Epenetus. This may also be the location that Ellis & Hungerford [1886:839] refer to when they state that Epenetus is not found in the Fermanagh area after 1791 and "probably moved to his lands in Beaver Dam Township."
