I am also a native from CA. My parents where born in OH (Mother) and MA (father). Gregg From: Wanda Nelsen <w.nelsen@sbcglobal.net> Date: 2006/10/11 Wed PM 09:48:52 EDT To: SCOT-DNA@rootsweb.com Subject: [SCOT-DNA] McClellan I have done the mt DNA project and some information is available. My gr-gr grandfather was John Milton McClellan--born 1799 in North Carolina He was known by the name Milton or nick name of Jackie, as he seems to have dropped the first name of John .I have found him in several census in North Carolina-Cabarrus County--McDowell County--Mitchell County--Yancey County. Occupation ( cooper )--barrel maker.He was last found on the census of 1900 at age given as 99 years old,living with his son John ( farmer ) and daughter in law Hannah Johnson McClellan, ( midwife ) in Spruce Pine, Mitchell County North Carolina. I have no solid proof of his parents except for an old Bible entry that states John Milton McClellan son of Joseph McClellan and Margaret McEachen. He married in Cabarrus County North Carolina, on January 23 1825 Narcissa Collens born 1805-died some time after census of 1850 Mitchell Co. N.C. Thank you,and i hope to hear something new and exciting about my ancestor soon. My search has been slow and not too productive. # 1 records on file in courthouses or churches were lost in fires during / or after the Civil War. # 2 I live in California and at my age i dont travel too far from home any more.
