Anna MacLennan (AKA McLennan or McClellan) married Robert Ellis Paxton on 20 May 1872 in Greenville, Mississippi (see below).
Robert E Paxton married Anna "McClellan" on 20 May 1872* according to Wm McClung Paxton's book, The Paxtons: Their Origin in Scotland, and Their Migrations Through England and Ireland, to the Colony of Pennsylvania, Whence They Moved South and West, and Found Homes in Many States and Territories..., 1903, MO, p 270. However, the family bible (see photo on husband's site) lists Ann "McLennan" on the same date in Greenville, Miss. The State of Mississippi, Washington County, issued a license (see photo on husband's site) for them to marry on 17 May 1872 and crossed off her surname and rewote "Maclennan" beneath it.
In the few early Mississippi records I found McClelland marriages, but no McClellan or similar. However, this data has not aided my search.
No luck finding her parents on the census. I suspect multiple spellings of her surname make it more difficult and I tried many.
