   N. B. McCLISH, farmer and stock raiser, P. O. Gilboa, Putnam County, was born
in Franklin County, Ohio, August 16, 1821, son of James and Patience (Bishop)
McClish, the latter born in New Jersey, of Irish descent. His father, a native
of Maryland, a school teacher by occupation, and a soldier in the war of 1812,
came to this county October 3, 1836, and settled within a few rods of where the
McClish bridge now stands, and died three days after his arrival. His family
consisted of eleven children, ten of whom grew to maturity, seven coming to this
county. Only three of the family are now living: N. B., a sister residing in
Illinois, and a brother who has resided in California since 1848, a large man,
weighing 400 pounds. Our subject has mado agriculture his occupation, and now
resides on the farm where his father settled, in 1836, and to which our subject
has since added until he now owns 410 acres, the farm being one of the most
valuable in this county. Mr. McClish has been twice married; first, in 1848, to
a daughter of Henry Moffit; she died in 1855, leaving three children: Ivy.
Herman and Mary. In 1856 our subject was again married; this time to a daughter
of Owen Street, a pioneer farmer of Union Township, this county. The children of
this union are Patience, Annie (wife of Samuel Cartwright), Harriet E. (wife of
Samuel Burthart), Dean. P. B., Anna G. and May. The mother of these children
died in 1884, and since her death our subject's daughter has kept the children
together. The family attend the Methodist Church. Mr. McClish takes an active
interest in the schools, and has served as school director. In politics he is a
Republican.
