Samuel McClellan 5 Mar 1766. From the book published in 1916 "Abbe -Abbey Genealogy In Memory of John Abbe and his Descendants" by Cleveland Abbe and Joseph Genung Nichols: RACHEL ABBE, daughter of Joshua and Mary (Ripley) Abbe, born February 6, 1738-9, in North Windham, Conn.; died June 22, 1795, buried in Woodstock, Conn. A lasting memorial of her patriotism aroused by the news of Lexington in April, 1775, is found in Woodstock. "Rachel Abbe of Windham, now Mrs. Samuel McClellan, shared in the patriotic fervor which so characterized the women of her native town, and after fitting out her husband and his horsemen, she set out memorial trees in honor of the joyful occasion. Four sapling elms brought up on horseback from the old Windham homestead, were carefully transplated into the soil of Woodstock—two in front of her dwelling and two on the slope of the adjoining common. Nurtured with care and pains they soon took root and flourished and for more than an hundred years have told the story of Lexington. True trees of Liberty, they have grown up with the Nation, and still stand in majestic beauty, living witnesses to the patriotism and devotion of the women of Windham County."
