He married (1) November 16, 1757, Jemima Chandler, by whom he had children: Samuel, William, Lemuel and Polly. He married (3) July 3, 1798, Mrs. Eunice Folunsbee of Worcester. Samuel MeClellan served as Ensign and Lieutenant of a company in the French war and was wounded in battle. Upon his return from the provincial campaign he purchased a farm in Woodstock, married and settled there. He later engaged in mercantile business and established an extensive trade, importing his own goods and supplying neighboring merchants. When the Revolution put a stop to his trade he trained and equipped the county militia. A fine troop of horse was raised in Woodstock, Pomfret and Killingly, of which he became commander. He rose by promotions until 1784 when he was Brigadier-General of the 5th Brigade, Connecticut militia. In 1776 his regiment was ordered into service and stationed in and about New Jersey. He was solicited by General Washington to join the Continental Army and was offered an important commission but his domestic and business affairs compelled him to refuse. After the invasion and burning of New London and the massacre at Fort Groton, he was appointed over the troops stationed at those points and continued the command until the close of the war, acting as commissary in the purchase and forwarding of provisions for the army when not otherwise in active service. He returned to mercantile business after the war bitt soon gave it up to manage his extensive estates. He was highly esteemed as a Christian gentleman and was honored by his townsmen by many important offices.
