He was son to John McClung and Rebecca Stuart McClung.
He wed Rebecca Bourland in 1774 in Augusta Co. Va. 10 children came from this union.
Samuel migrated from Rockbridge Co.,Va. to Greenbrier Co. prior to the Revolutionary War. He lived on Muddy Creek near the Blue Sulphur Springs.
Samuel participated in the Battle of Point Pleasant in 1774 under leadership of Capt. Matthew Arbuckle. He is listed with 27 men who remained in Greenbrier, probably to protect the settlements. (Allegheny Regional Ancestors) Samuel was the last man wounded by the Indians in West Virginia. They shot him, wounding him slightly. They also shot the cue off his wig. One Indian pursued him until they came to a creek, which seemed would prevent his escape. It was now a case of life or death. Summoning all his powers as he neared the creek, he made a desparate leap and bounded clear over the stream and continued running. The Indian, disheartened by the prodigious leap, abandoned the chase. (This was printed in Ripley's Believe It or Not in the newspaper in the 1950's)
