Maria [pronounced like the wind - Meriah]. Their son John Alma wrote of his Maria:

"Mother was a very resourceful person. In our poverty she spun, wove, and made all our clothing. In the long winter nights she would knit, and read aloud to the family while we would either pick wool or sew carpet rags. The faster she would read, the faster she would knit. She spun the cloth and made all of our clothing, knit all of our socks and stockings. She was a wonderful cook. I wish I had some of her salt-rising bread for supper tonight. She knew how to make and raise a garden. She may not have been as gentle and pleasant as some people I have known, but God bless her she had unpleasant things to endure. The matter of fourteen children, and abject poverty would try the patience of anyone and she had that strict stern McClellan blood in her veins. Mother was a very good housekeeper, and she had a place for everything and everything was kept in its place. She had a good memory and was fairly well versed in the Holy Bible.
