Generation Two2. JAMES2 MCCLINTOCK (Francis1); (dates and spouse for our James are tentative), born circa 1740 in Coleraine, County Londonderry, part of present–day Northern Ireland,13 died circa 1803, probably in Frederick County, Virginia;14 married in 1763 MARY DAVIDSON WILLIAMSON, born March 1744; died 15 October 1815 in Chillicothe, Ross County, Ohio.15 There are biographical sketches of James and Mary Williamson McClintock’s son Judge James McClintock in The History of Ross and Highland Counties, Ohio, 1880, Williams Bros, Cleveland, 532 pages (variously authored); and also in Portrait and Biographical Record of the Scioto Valley, Ohio.16 These biographies also contain information on James and Mary Williamson McClintock. Mary (Williamson) McClintock’s brother was Hugh Williamson, born 1735 in Pennsylvania. Hugh Williamson was a graduate of the first class of the University of Pennsylvania. He secured the Hutchinson Papers from the British with the revelation of these possibly precipitating in part the Revolutionary War. Hugh Williamson represented North Carolina in adoption of the United States Constitution in 1787. Hugh was a physician and headed the North Carolina Medical Corp. during the Revolutionary War.17 The McClintock Genealogy18 pertains to the descendants of an Alexander McClintock who settled in Donegal in the north Ireland in the seventeenth century. One line goes from Alexander McClintock to Alexander McClintock (born circa 1603; married Agnes McClean) to John McClintock (born circa 1649; married Jane Lowry) to James McClintock (born circa 1699; no wife is mentioned). This James has been suggested as the husband of Mary Davidson Williamson by queries appearing on various internet genealogical sites, for example, Rootsweb for McClintocks. But the birth and marriage dates of Mary Williamson, if correct, would probably rule out the James McClintock born 1699 as the husband of Mary Williamson.

3. HUGH2 MCCLINTOCK (Francis1), (direct line ancestor of the author), born circa 1750 in the north of Ireland or eastern Pennsylvania, probably in Chester County; died in 1807 in Toboyne Township,21 in present–day Perry County (formed from Cumberland County in 1850), Pennsylvania. Based on the birth year of their first known child, Hugh probably married before 1771 ANN CARRUTHERS,22 born circa 1749,23 in "New Munster, Cecil County, Maryland; she died after 1830, probably in Venango County, Pennsylvania (see next). There were three Hugh McClintocks in the 1790 federal census for the area of Cumberland County, at that time treated collectively as “Hopewell, Newton, Tyborn [Toboyne], and Pennsboro Townships.” Our Hugh was probably the Hugh listed next to John Culbertson and three Purdy families (Hugh’s daughter Mary married Robert Purdy); in Hugh’s household was 2 males 16 and over, 4 males under 16 and 5 females.24 In 1810, after Hugh died in 1807, Ann was still living in Toboyne Township, Cumberland County.25 The 1820 and 1830 censuses for Allegheny Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, would indicate Ann (Carruthers) McClintock was living with her son–in–law Andrew Fleming in 1820 and 1830.26 A McClintock manuscript by Gerald McClintock27 also mentions, without source, Ann (Carruthers) McClintock moving to Venango County, and dying there in the household of her daughter Ann and Ann's husband, Andrew Fleming. Early Carrs and Carruthers of Cecil County, Maryland.I have not assigned generation and identification numbers to the ancestors of Ann Carruthers. Information on Ann (Carruthers) McClintock and ancestors come mainly from Richard Crothers and Helene Rogers28 Additional information comes from Selena Fox,29 and Lynda [—?—].30 Ann Carruthers’ parents were Francis [Sr.] and Ann (Carr) Carruthers. Francis was born circa 1718 in what would probably be present-day Northern Ireland; died 13 February 1801 in "New Munster," Cecil County, Maryland. Ann Carr's parents were Walter and Martha [—?—] Carr. Ann Carr had first married Archibald Steele, who died. As reported in Crothers (2000), Walter and Martha Carr had 16 children: (1) Rachel Carr (Street); (2) Leah Carr (Hedrick); (3) Samuel Carr; (4) Hanna Carr (Alexander); (5) Mary Carr (Veazey); (6) John Carr; (7) Elizabeth Carr; (8) Isabelle Carr; (9) Joseph Carr; (10) William Carr; (11) Ruth Carr; (12) Sarah Carr; (13) Perscilla Carr: (14) Elijah Carr; (15) Darius Carr; and (16) Ann Carr; married (first) Archibald Steele; married (second) Francis Carruthers [Sr,]. Francis, Ann and family lived in Cecil County, Maryland, where numerous documents (including Francis Carruthers' will) are reported in Francis Carruthers and his Frontier Descendants (2000), by Richard Crothers. Helene Rogers (1973/1995) lists several early documents pertaining to our Hugh McClintock and helps to sort our Hugh McClintock from other Hugh McClintocks of the same area. Three of these are copied below. A summary of the first document (Number 5) appeared in the 1917 History of Jefferson County, although this History was erroneous in reporting that Hugh’s father was Joseph McClintock. Orphan’s Court Docket, number 5, page 378, Cumberland County Courthouse, 15 February, 1814:Came into Court Frederick Peale and Jane Peale his wife, late Jane McClintock, one of the daughters of Hugh McClintock late of Toboyne Twp., Cumberland Co., deceased and preferred a petition to the court therein setting forth that her said father lately died intestate leaving a widow to wit: Ann and issue 11 children to wit: Hamilton, Frank, Rachel intermarried with Robert Reed, the petitioner Jane intermarried with the said Frederick Peale, Mary intermarried with Robert Purdy, Robert, Hugh, James, Ann intermarried with Andrew Fleming, Isabella, and John, that last mentioned of whom are still in their minority. That at the time of his death he was seised in his demesne as of fee of and in a certain plantation or tract of land situated in the township of Toboyne in said county adjoining lands of John Culbertson [John’s land was owned first by brother Patrick Culbertson, but he sold it to John—Helene Rogers], Robert Purdy and others containing 550 acres or thereabouts with 2 log dwelling houses and log barn thereon erected with appurtenances and praying the court to award an inquest to view the said premises and ascertain whether the same can be divided to and among the Widow and all the children of said deceased without prejudice to and spoiling the whole and if thee find the same can be so divided that they then well and truly inquire whether the same will conveniently accommodate more than one of the children of the said deceased that they will well and truly appraise each purport or share respectively, but if the same cannot not be so divided, then to value appraise the same with appurtenances and make return of their proceedings therein to the next stated Orphans Court that the court may proceed therein as the law shall direct. Whereupon the court award an inquest agreeable to the prayers of the Petitioner. The above Orphans Court met Tuesday February, 1814. I am not aware of the outcome of this petition. Strangely, Hamilton and Francis (Frank) McClintock’s wives were not mentioned in the petition. Pennsylvania Archives, Volume 6, page 353 [pertaining to Hugh McClintock’s Revolutionary War record]:Hugh McClintock and John Culbertson in 6th Class, Capt. Samuel Lemmon’s Co.; page 355, 5th Battalion, 3rd Class 1780–81 John Nelson’s 8th Co. On page 365 was [another] Hugh and James McClintock, 8th Co., 5th Battalion.Mabel (McClintock) Ritter` (#324), a descendant of our Hugh McClintock, lists Hugh as a private in Captain Edward Grimes’s company, 6th Battalion, 7th Regiment, Cumberland County militia.31 Book B, Volume 1, page 58, 1824, Perry County Court House: Ann McClintock, Formerly of the County of Cumberland, Toboyne Twp. and state of Penn., but now of the county of Venango, Allegheny Twp. and state aforesaid do constitute and appoint Andrew Fleming (son–in–law) my proper agent to demand, receive, and recover a note now in the hands of William Anderson in Perry Ct., formerly Cumberland Co., Teboyne [sic] Twp. and state of Penn. [Anderson was the guardian chosen by Ann’s (Carruthers) son, John when he reached 14 yrs. of age—Helene Rogers]. Said note is against Frederick Peal [Ann’s son–in–law married to her daughter, Jane—Helene Rogers] of Perry Co., Teboyne Twp. bearing date about Dec. 1815 for about $247. I do hereby constitute and appoint Andrew Fleming my proper agent to demand payment of said above described note of said Peal … March 26th 1823.
4. WILLIAM2 MCCLINTOCK (Francis1); married PHOEBE MCDOWELL. William was from East Nottingham Township, Chester County. He served as a militiaman and was in the battles of Whitemarsh Church and Germantown during the Revolutionary War.40 William was enumerated in the 1790 federal census for East Nottingham Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania: 1 male 16 or over, 2 males under 16 and 5 females.41
6. ALEXANDER2 MCCLINTOCK (Francis1); died 11 September 1777; married in Berks County, Pennsylvania, 10 May 1766 SARAH MAY (her surname), born 28 September 1743; died 18 May 1826. In 1810, Sarah was enumerated in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.42 Alexander was appointed a lieutenant in the Fifth Pennsylvania Regiment during the Revolutionary War. He was wounded in the Battle of the Brandywine (Chadd's Ford area), 11 September 1777, and died one week later, leaving a widow and four small children.43 Because of what turned out to be unwise decisions, the Americans (who were commanded at Brandywine by Washington himself and his generals Anthony Wayne and Nathaniel Greene) lost this battle, clearing the way for General William Howe and his army to enter Philadelphia two weeks later, 25 September 1777. In hindsight, though, the British might have made the biggest blunder by allowing George Washington to retire and rest awhile.44 Sarah applied for a Revolutionary War pension: McClintock, Alexander, Pennsylvania, rank LT. Bounty Land Warrant Number 1476, for 200 acres. Issued to Sarah McClintock, Admx. (no papers) 14 May 1791.45 RUNAWAYS, Excerpts from the Pennsylvania Gazette, 1775–1783, by Kenneth Scott, via National Genealogical Society Quarterly, March 1978, Volume 66, Number 1, page 57:Lt. Alexander M’Clintock offers reward for capture of the following deserters from Capt. John Christy’s company of the Fifth Pennsylvania Regt., commanded by Col. Francis Johnston: John Saylor, a Dutchman, age c. 21; Conrad Peelman, a Dutchman, age c. 23; Henry Dowbeman, a Dutchman, age between 19 and 20; John Lecce, a Dutchman, age 21. (23 Apr. 1777).I have no proof this Alexander was our Alexander, but the time of the announcement and the Regiment (Fifth) would suggest he was our Alexander.
7. MARY2 MCCLINTOCK (Francis1); married JOHN CULBERTSON, brother of Patrick Culbertson who married Jane McClintock, sister of Mary McClintock. John Culbertson died in 1825 or 1826. Their children were (a) Jane (McFate) Culbertson. (b) Mary Ann Culbertson. (c) John Culbertson. (d) Andrew Culbertson. For information on John and Mary (McClintock) Culbertson and their descendants, see #2 of “Culbertsons.” 8. JANE2 MCCLINTOCK (Francis1); (direct line ancestor of the author) probably died before 1787; married PATRICK CULBERTSON, born 1745. Patrick died 1818 in Venango County, Pennsylvania. Their children were (a) Francis McClintock. (b) James McClintock. (c) Robert McClintock. (d) Jane McClintock (e) Mary McClintock.
