  Notes	He was called "The Captain." After marrying Hannah Dyer he moved (between 1778 and 1782) to South Thomaston, Maine, where he "settled on George's River on the lot above Simonton's Point; so called from his brother-in-law John Simonton [married to his older sister Rachel], who came about the same time from the same place, bought out the possessory title of Abiathar Smith, and settled on this Point and the adjoining lot." After this they began to build a family. According to Eaton, "he was a shoemaker, farmer, and master of a coaster, by turns, as business and profit offered inducement. He was remarkable for his strong love of money and economical, not to say penurious habits, which in later years amound to little less than monomania. He is said to have compelled his boys to stop the cow-bell every night with a wisp of hay to prevent the tongue from wearing." He and his younger brother Simon "were the ancestors of all the early McLellans in the St. George River area." More people appear on the 1790 census for his household than can be accounted for by known family. His gravestone is indecipherable; yet "it is reported by the 'Index to Revolutionary Veterans Buried in Maine' as 1818" (S36, 2). [2, 8, 9]

• Histories

  Revolutionary War This page collects the people on this site who served in the Revolutionary War. Some are militia; some served in the Line troops. It includes both loyalists and patriots. There may well be others on the tree who should be included. Some could use more secure evidence: genealogical histories often say that someone "fought in the Revolution," but this can be family legend rather than fact. Sources are cited under each person's page. War and Pension records can be found on line at the National Archives. Genealogies can be ordered from the DAR and the SAR, but their lists only include those whom people have used to join, not all veterans.
