Jacob McClain

b: circa 1750

w- Elizabeth Wilson
Married: 1771

h- Jacob McClain

Brother to Azariah McClain born 1745; sons of John McClain b; circa 1710

Known to have been a neighbor of Alexander Alexander, who is believed to be the first permanent settler to Wells Valley in 1772. Jacob lived four miles from Alexander, on Wooden Bridge creek, a short distance above Woodcock's mill.

Notes copied from other people's research work:

1. JACOB McCLAIN (1750-1835) married in 1771 Elizabeth Wilson, evidently the daughter of Thomas and Mary Wilson of Frederick Co.,
MD. In the late 1770's, apparently, Jacob was living in Bedford Co PA
on "Wooden Bridge Creek, a short distance above Woodcock's Mill."
He was the nearest neighbor of Alexander "Double Alick" Alexander, who lived four miles away. In 1781 Jacob McClain served in Capt. Henry Rush's Company of Bedford Co militia.
In 1793 one Jacob McClain of Dublin Township, Bedford County, applied for a tavern license. At that time he lived "at the foot of Sideling Hill, on the State Road, 23 miles from Bedford". The 1790 Bedford Co census shows the name "Bigard Head", who was probably Bigger Head, husband of Elizabeth (Wilson) McClain's sister Susanne. William Wilson (1755-1821), brother of Elizabeth and Susannah, was born in Frederick Co MD and reportedly came to Bedford Co in 1777, where he served in Capt. Charles Taggart's militia company. He died in Fairfield Co OH.

Alexander Alexander died 8 Nov. 1815; Revolutionary War. He is buried at the Alexander Homestead, Fulton Co., PA.
