  Origins
  Patriarch & Matriarch	Bryce McLellan           b. Abt 1690, Ballymoney, County Antrim, Northern Ireland           d. 24 Mar 1776, Portland, Cumberland Co., Maine  (Age 86 years)  (Great Grandfather)  Ann Choate Burnham           b. 11 Sep 1782             d. 11 Oct 1851, Portland, Cumberland Co., Maine  (Age 69 years)  (Mother)
  Notes	Mayor of Portland during the Civil War: 1863-65, 1868-69. He apparently wrote a brief manuscript on Bryce McLellan in 1870. His brother George W. McLellan also apparently wrote a 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!
