In 1802, the year before Greene county was organized as a county, Captain Robert McClelland moved from Westmoreland County, PA and settled on a 1,000 tract of land on Sugar creek, about four miles west of where Xenia, the county seat, later was established. There he established his home and there he spent the rest of his life.
Captain McClelland was commissioned commander of a company for service under General Harrison during the Black Hawk war and was also in command of a company during the War of 1812, at one time during that period of service being in command of Ft. McArthur. in what is now Hardin county, this state. Upon the completion of that term of service Captain McClelland was ordered to report to St. Mary's, where he was stationed for a time.
Captain McClelland was a member of the Scotch Seceders, which is now part of the United Presbyterian church. For years he served as an elder of the pioneer church.
From an Unexpected Discovery:
http://anunexpecteddiscovery.weebly.com/mcclelland.html
"Being of strict Christian faith and religiously opposed to human slavery he aided slaves on their way after escape, by means of the "underground railway." The "underground railway" was the secret travel of slaves from one sympathizer to another usually accomplished at night. They were hidden and fed at each stopping place. The sons, Robert and Isaiah were engaged at that time as coopers, getting their supplies from their father's woods. They trimmed the brush from the tumber as it was cut piled it in huge piles larger than a house. Some of these piles had puts under them, where the slaves were hidden and the small boys Samuel McClelland and Simeon Jolly were entrusted to carry food to the slaves and notices of anticipated removals from that place, as they were on their way to school or to the cooper shop. They played in the woods and kept a lookout for spies."
"Upon one occasion Captain McClelland learned that Government spies were going to search his premises. He prepared by sending an extra supply of food and a warning to the slaves who were hiding there to be ready to move at a moments notice. The spies came. After searching the barn and house thoroughly with Captain McClelland following them there was a place they had failed to look into. That was up the chimney of the large fireplace where a brisk fire was burning. They refused to look. He drew a gun upon them and told them to look - they did. While these agents were engaged in teh house the slaves were spirited away to the next stop by the elder sons John, Robert and Isaiah."
