  Notes	He captained the famous brig "Boxer" in 1815. He had 9 children, one of whom was Jacob, Mayor of Portland during the Civil War, who also wrote a brief manuscript on Bryce McLellan in 1870; another was George W. McLellan, who wrote a key 1870 letter to his brother Jacob discussing family history. I have not seen either of these: if anyone has, or knows where to get them, please get in touch and let me know!
