Notes for WILLIAM MCCLELLAND JR.:
History of Polk County, Iowa, 1880 - City of Des Moines, Page 835
McCLELLAND, W.-- Mr. McClelland was born in Cecil County, Maryland, September 3, 1837, where he passed his youth. At twelve years of age he began an apprenticeship to the trade of carpenter and building. He subsequently added to these the trade of millwright. In 1849 he came to Des Moines, which was then a mere hamlet, and known as the "Fort". The country was new and sparsely settled. Mills were few and far between. Oskaloosa, Fairfield and other equally remote points were the nearest accessible mills. Mr. McClelland was, therefore, the right man in the right place, and eleven mills in this an adjoining counties erected by him attest the fact. He relates many incidents of those early days of Polk County and adjoining counties, and has a vivid recollection of the privations endured by the pioneers. In the winter of 1855-6 he was building a mill in what is now Greene county, which was then the frontier of settlements. The weather was severe and the settlers were poorly protected against its inclemency. Their cabins were rudely constructed with logs, with puncheon floors. They answered very well in summer, but in winter there was too much ventilation; very few, if indeed any, families in that section escaped freezing more or less that winter. Owing to frequent and contrinued exposure in 1856, Mr. McClelland was prostrated with rheumatism, and was finally compelled to abandon his trade, and he has now retired from active business, and is enjoying the evening of life as pleases him best.
He was unmarried - thus no children.

Notes for CHARLES MCCLELLAND:
May 26, 1965 letter written by W.T. (Bud McClelland) gives this account:
" Our grandfather, CHARLES McCLELLAND, with his two brothers Nathaniel and Henry, left their home in Maryland in 1849 to travel by wagon train to California. Their father had settled in Maryland after arriving in the U.S. from the area around Glasgow, Scotland,[Since it is documented Wm. was born in 1791 in Cecil County, Maryland, his father was probably who Bud referred to as being from Scotland] where for centuries the McClelland Clan had lived under the protection of the MacNab Tartan. However the three sons joined the wagons rolling west with family and belongings. When the wagon reached the Mississippi River in the area of the present Davenport, Iowa, they encountered semi-disaster making the crossing. Their loss in cattle, wagons and belongings was so great that they could not continue.
Being farmers, they took advantage of the Iowa Territory being opened for settlement and obtained Government land grants in the area of the confluence of the Des Moines and Racoon Rivers. One of their enterprises was a soft coal mine out in the present Highland Park area of Des Moines, near the old McClelland homstead where Henry spent the rest of his life.
The mine was a successful venture and part of it extended under the Des Moines River. One night, one of their unfriendly competitors dropped a dynamite charge into the river and blew a hole so deep in the river bottom that it flooded the mine. Thus ended the mining by the McClellands."
He was the farmer and raised the good old Iowa corn and hogs and a passal of children.
Upon his death, in 1903, His estate was $200. Probate records show it was to be divided: Sarah Miller, 38, Des Moines; Alice Trowbridge, 37, Des Moines; Emeline Townsend, 33, Hutchison, Kansas; Helen Shirbourne, 32, Coon Rapids, IA; Frederica Fall, 30, Rolfe, IA; J.P. McClelland, 29, Des Moines; A.W. McCelland, 27, Manilla, Philippines; Daisy McClelland, 24, Des Moines; Martha Tadlock, 22, Des Moines.
Filed Apr. 23, 1903, by B.F. Coffin, Clerk.

Notes for NATHANIEL MCCLELLAND:
History of Polk Co., IA (1880) Pg 964
McClelland, Nat,-- Farmer and stock-raiser, section 16, P.O. Box East Des Moines. Was born in Cecil Co., Maryland, May 14, 1841, and was raised there until 1850. He then came to this State with his parents, who first settled in Des Moines, and in 1859 came to his present location, engaging in farming and stock-raising, which he has made his occupation since. His farm now consists of 210 acres of well-improved land. His marriage was in this county, January 31, 1867, to Miss Wealthy Clark, who was born in New York State and was raised there until she came to this State about the year 1860. By this union they have two sons and one daughter: Albert, Gideon, and Sarah. Lost one daughter, Mary E. His father was a native of Maryland and his mother of England, but she came to this country when she was a child.

Letter of W.T. (Bud) McClelland 1965:
"Having procured so many acres of farmland by Government land grant, Henry and Nathaniel, in addition to the mine, rented farms and got into real estate transactions -- thus making quite a fortune. Uncle Nat in his later years owned two autos -- Stutz "Bearcats".. and cut quite a figure even at his age driving around in them. It was said the second one was for his use to drive to the barber shop when 5the other Stutz was in the shop."

From Obit "Moved to Iowa with his parents in 1857. After spending 8 years near Keokuk as a freighter, he came to Polk County and started farming."
