- James McLene (* 11. Oktober 1730 in , Chester County, Province of Pennsylvania; † 13. März 1806 im , Pennsylvania) war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker, der als Delegierter aus Pennsylvania am Kontinentalkongress teilnahm. Nachdem er seine Jugend im Chester County verbracht hatte, zog James McLene im Jahr 1754 nach Antrim im damaligen Cumberland County; heute gehört der Ort zum Franklin County. Nach Ausbruch der amerikanischen Revolution war er 1776 Delegierter zu einer Staatsversammlung, die eine Verfassung für Pennsylvania erstellen sollte. Von 1776 bis 1777 saß er außerdem im Repräsentantenhaus seines Heimatstaates. Zwischen 1778 und 1779 gehörte McLene dem Regierungsrat (Supreme Executive Council) von Pennsylvania an. Danach nahm er bis 1780 an den Sitzungen des Kontinentalkongresses teil, die zu dieser Zeit in Philadelphia stattfanden. In den Jahren 1789 und 1790 wirkte er jeweils erneut bei den Verfassungskonventen von Pennsylvania mit; außerdem schlossen sich weitere Amtsperioden im Staatsparlament von 1790 bis 1791 sowie von 1793 bis 1794 an. McLene starb im März 1806 in Antrim. (de)
- James McLene (October 11, 1730 – March 18, 1806) was an American farmer and political leader from Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He was a delegate for Pennsylvania to the Continental Congress in 1779 and 1780. At the state level, McLene served as a delegate to the Pennsylvania state constitutional convention in 1776 and again in 1789, a number of terms in the state legislature, and briefly as Speaker, during the British occupation of Philadelphia. Following his terms in the Continental Congress, he served on Pennsylvania's Supreme Executive Council until the conclusion of the war. His early efforts at the Carpenter's Hall Council (Philadelphia, 1776), shortly before the signing of the Declaration of Independence, were instrumental in marshaling Pennsylvania's resolve to support the Flying Camp of the Continental Army. McLene died in Antrim Township in Franklin County and is buried in the Brown's Mill Graveyard there. He was survived by his wife Christian Brown McLene and nine children. (en)
