Looking for death information for a William McClellan who is listed as a Master Mariner on city directories for 1869, 1870 Salem Massachusetts. "Mrs." William McClellan listed on 1872 city directory. Naomi McClellan listed on 1870 census Salem MA with no husband but three children. Both Mrs. William McClellan and Naomi McClellan are listed as operating a boarding house. Addresses for all items are on Derby St. His birthdate is 14 May 1836 born at St John's on naturalization papers for Gloucester, MA 1866. This may have been St. John's as an earlier version of Prince Edward Island which is seen on some records or St John's, New Brunswick, Canada.
Looking for his death information or even a ship that he might have been associated with in 1869-1870 time period with connections to Salem, MA?
