During the War Between the States, Mr. McLin served with Co. D, 31st Ohio Inf. Rgt. He was wounded at the Battle of Atlanta and spent time in a military hospital, then was sent home on leave to recuperate. He returned to his unit and was mustered out on May 12, 1865. Another child joined the family in 1865.
After a few years, the family migrated westward and settled on a farm in Grant Township, near the village of Soldier, in Jackson County, KS, and it was there that five more children were born.
