McClellan attended private schools and Union College before heading west to Galena, Illinois to practice law. There, he became the president of a bank and director of a woolen mill. He was elected as a Republican to a term in the Illinois House of Representatives in 1860 and then to the Illinois Senate, where he served two terms, in 1876. BiographyRobert Hugh McClellan was born in Washington County, New York on January 3, 1823 to Col. William and Margaret (Randles) McClellan. McClellan attended Argyle Academy and Cambridge Academy while spending summers helping on the family farm. He attended Union College and graduated in 1847. He then studied law under future U.S. Representative Martin I. Townsend. He was admitted to the bar in December 1850. McClellan decided to move west to practice, settling in Galena, Illinois. He edited the Galena Gazette and formed a law practice with John M. Douglas.[1] McClellan became president of the Bank of Galena, later known as the National Bank of Galena, in January 1864. He held the position for over twenty years. He co-founded the Hanover Woolen Mill and served as its director. McClellan was also an original stockholder in the National Bank of Illinois.
