Rev. James McLelland is my 4x great grandfather and I have information on his children and descendants.This is the main line I am working on.
James McLelland married Ann Harrison daughter of Burr Harrison and Elizabeth Dargan.James McLelland's parents are not known.It has been written that James was "OF Charleston."That doesn't necessarily mean he was born there.In fact, one of his sons, James Burr McLelland, born 4 July 1812, Columbia, Richland County, South Carolina, stated in his Bryan, Brazos County, Texas 1880 Census that his father, Rev. James McLelland was "born in Scotland".
It was conferred to be by other researchers that Ann Harrison died in 1816 after the birth of a child and Rev. James McLelland died 4 Dec 1817, per an obituary and his Will.
I am constantly researching this line, if anyone else is interested in sharing information.I know a lot of the descendants of son James Burr McLelland lived in Texas and California.
Please contact me if you are interested in this family or have any further information.
Thanks!
