Archibald McClean (1766/67 –1845)
In 1824 McClean twice wrote Bushrod Washington regarding legal matters.
Archibald McClean was born on 13 July 1766 or 1767 in Freehold, New Jersey. A printer, he settled in Alexandria, Virginia. McClean married Mary Jones in 1797; they would have three children live to maturity. A year later, George Washington sold McClean a tract of land on the Ohio River called Round Bottom (near present-day Moundsville, West Virginia). A third party soon filed a suit disputing Washington’s original title to the land, tying the purchase up in litigation for decades.
