Daniel McLean (1784–May 10, 1837) was a co-founding settler of Augusta, Texas along with John Sheridan in 1813 with the Gutiérrez–Magee Expedition. He took up land in 1824 on San Pedro Creek.[1] Mclean was considered an expert Native American fighter and was employed at times by the area's settlers as guides and protectors.[2]

He died on May 10th, 1837, along with his brother-in-law, in the town of Augusta, Texas after being killed by Native Americans while pursuing the locals stolen horses. The bodies were brought back by Mrs.Sheridan on an oxcart and buried on their respective properties.

Near the present community of Slocum on FM 2022 now stands a Texas State historical marker that identifies the site of the McLean-Sheridan Massacre near Sadler's home.
