These McClellans are a part of our family history.
The notes below is some of the information I found on Abraham. The resource is from "Wallace Slover Family History" notebook that my mom brought back from the Wallace Family Reunion in Oklahoma about 10-15 years ago. These did not have any b or d dates. For each person I used the about 1700 (think I used 1730, also) for the birth date.
