In 1850, Mary, head of household, was living in Fairfield Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio (page 325) with children, Eliza, Edward and Nathan, and grandchildren (children of daughter Martha Martin) Nathan C. Martin and David F. Martin. In 1870, Mary, unmarried daughter Elizabeth, and grandsons Nathan Martin and D. Findley Martin were living next to Mary's daughter Sarah (Doll) and her family in Goshen Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio (page 95).

63. HUGH⁴ MCCLINTOCK (Hamilton³, Hugh², Francis¹). born 17 March 1798 in Cornplanter Township, Venango County; died 10 October 1878 in Mercer County, Pennsylvania; buried in Cochranton Cemetery,¹²¹ Wayne Township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania; married 2 June 1835 JANE NELSON, born 20 February 1812; died 16 October 1900 in Meadville, Crawford County; buried in Cochranton Cemetery,¹²² Crawford County.

Hugh McClintock, age 25, was reported as a member of Venango Guards in the 1823 Muster Roll.¹²³ Hugh eventually settled in French Creek Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, on 75 acres, about three miles south of Cochranton, Crawford County.¹²⁴ In 1900, shortly before Jane Nelson McClintock died, she was enumerated with her daughter, Sarah Jane Steele, in Meadville, Crawford County.¹²⁵

From an unidentified Meadville, Pennsylvania, newspaper, Thursday, October 18, 1900 - (Excerpt); submitted by Bea Mansfield:

Mrs. Jane McClintock, 88, widow of the late Hugh McClintock, who died about 22 years ago, died Oct. 16 after a two-week illness. She died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. S.J. Steele, at the corner of Poplar and South Main streets. She was born February 28, 1812. Mrs. McClintock leaves five sons and four daughters, two of whom, Mrs. M.A. Marshall [I do not list a M. A. Marshall?] and Mrs. Steele, had taken care of her for the past year. All were present at the last hour except one.

Mrs. McClintock was the daughter of the late Colonel David Nelson of Fairfield township this county. She was married in 1835 and resided in French Creek township, Mercer county on the farm three miles south of Cochranton, until within the past two years, when she came to this city to live with her daughters last spring. She was a life-long member of the Cochranton United Presbyterian church where the funeral is taking place today, with interment in the Cochranton cemetery.

Mrs. McClintock was esteemed by all as a kind neighbor and true Christian woman.

Jane (Nelson) McClintock’s brother, William Nelson, married Hugh McClintock’s sister, Mary (McClintock) Shontz (#69). The parents of Jane and William Nelson were Colonel David Nelson, born 1773 in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and Jane Milligan—daughter of John and Mary (Adams) Milligan.¹²⁶ Jane Milligan was born 8 September 1776 in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.¹²⁷ In addition to William and Jane, other children of David and Jane (Milligan) Nelson were David (Jr.), Allen, Polly (Myers), Betsy (McDaniel), John, James, and Daniel Nelson.¹²⁸

Besides Jane Milligan marrying David Nelson, two other children¹²⁹ of John and Mary (Adams) Milligan married McClintocks:¹³⁰ Alexander Milligan, born 16 October 1780; married 14 February 1804 Eleanor McClintock (they had issue); and Nellie Milligan, born 13 January 1785; married Hugh McClintock. I can not place this Eleanor McClintock nor the Hugh McClintock. A GenServ report¹³¹ lists a Maudie Milligan (born 24 June 1872) marrying a James R. Culbertson (born 24 March 1868). The report does not mention locations. I can not place this James R. Culbertson (but see #77 of “Culbertsons”).

64. JAMES⁴ MCCLINTOCK (Hamilton³, Hugh², Francis¹). born 4 June 1800 in Pennsylvania; died 3 March 1855; buried Plumer Cemetery,¹³⁹ Cornplanter, Venango County, Pennsylvania; married November 1822¹⁴⁰ LOUISA REYNOLDS in Cherrytree Township, Venango Couty, Pennsylvania; born 5 September 1802 in Cherrytree Township; died 21 December 1885; buried in Greendale Cemetery, Meadville, Crawford County.¹⁴¹ In 1850, the family was in Cornplanter Township, Venango County, where James was listed as a farmer. In 1860, Louisa (Reynolds) McClintock was living with her son John and family in Cornplanter Township.¹⁴² In 1880, Louisa and son James (A.?) were living in the household of Louisa’s daughter Lydia Lamey in Crawford County.¹⁴³

In 1840, James and family were in Cornplanter Township.¹⁴⁴ James McClintock died of smallpox 3 March 1855, the same day that his brother Culbertson McClintock also died of smallpox.¹⁴⁵ Probably James was the James McClintock listed in the Pennsylvania Militia, 1823, for Venango County.¹⁴⁶

Louisa (Reynolds) McClintock (1802-1885). Date and location not known. From Verne E. Grant (Austin, Texas).

Reynolds
Louisa (Reynolds) McClintock taught school in Cherrytree Township. Her father was probably the first teacher in that area, having taught school in James Hamilton’s old log house.¹⁴⁷ Louisa Reynolds was a daughter of William and Lydia (Thomas) Reynolds who moved from Birmingham, England to North America in about the 1790s,¹⁴⁸ because of rioting, their Birmingham home having been sacked.¹⁴⁹ William was born 1752 in Worchestershire, England; died 30 January 1820.¹⁵⁰

Another daughter of William and Lydia Reynolds was Lydia Reynolds, born 23 August 1786 in Birmingham, England; died 19 April 1864 in Cherrytree Township, Venango County. She married Elijah Stewart (see #1 of “The Elijah Stewart Family of Cherrytree Township” in the “Notes on Stewarts” section of The Oil Creek Flemings of Venango County, Pennsylvania, with related families, Volume 2), born 1782 in Chester County, Pennsylvania; died 14 August 1847 in Cherrytree Township; their daughter Hannah Stewart, born circa 1822; died 1850; buried in Cherry Tree Cemetery, Cherrytree Township, married George Washington Fleming, a son of Samuel and Jane (McClintock) Fleming— see George Washington Fleming, #23, in the Fleming web site.

Other children of William and Lydia Thomas Reynolds were Eliza Reynolds, born 1783; died 1804; Mary Reynolds, born 1785; Sarah Reynolds, born 1787; Anne Reynolds, born 1789 (married Richard Hamilton); Eleanor Reynolds, born 1790; William Reynolds, born 1792; Joshua Reynolds, born 1794 (married Nancy Hamilton); and Edward Reynolds, born 1797 (married Maria Dunham). According to Ilisevich (1985), page 15:¹⁵¹ “William had emigrated from England because of political and religious rioting that led to the sacking of his home in Birmingham and the destruction of his property.” In England the Reynolds family had sympathy with the French Republic Movement.¹⁵²

There are biographies of John Reynolds,¹⁵³ one of Louisa (Reynolds) McClintock’s brothers; and John Reynolds also wrote his autobiography.¹⁵⁴ John Reynolds was born 17 June 1782 in England and left in 1795 to join his parents in America, where they settled in Lansingburg, New York, in 1794.¹⁵⁵ He and his father eventually took land on Cherry Tree Run, Venango County, owned by the Holland Land Company. John married Jane Judith Ellicotte Kennedy.

Here are a few extracts from the Autobiography of John Reynolds, pages 221 and 225:

… On our arrival at Pittsburg [in August 1797] we put up at Molly Murphy’s, at that time the most popular tavern … Immediately after crossing the Allegheny River we were met by an Indian who brought us a young deer he had killed near our cabin, for which my father paid three shillings … On March 3d. our cabin with all it contained was consumed by fire … In the spring of 1798 my father purchased a cow. Having no company she would not stay with us. We found her at Hamilton McClintock’s. We could not drive nor lead her home. After we had got her part of the way she broke from us and ran back. My father then sold her to Mr. McClintock

Children of James and Louisa (Reynolds) McClintock:¹⁵⁶

+	115	i.	Hamilton⁵ Reynolds McClintock; born 2 September 1822; died 3 January 1896; buried in Greendale Cemetery, Meadville, Pennsylvania; married 10 June 1847 Mary Jane Small.

+	117	iii.	Maria (also Marie) McClintock; born circa 1826/7; married 11 October 1855 John Lamey.
	118	iv.	Mary Jane McClintock; born circa 1829; married (first) Thomas Green Ross.¹⁵⁷ This Thomas Green Ross was possibly the Thomas Green Ross, son of James and Susan (Green?) Ross, see under Hamilton McClintock (#75), who also married a Ross or Green. The 1850 federal census for Cherrytree Township¹⁵⁸ lists a Thomas Ross (age 27) as head of the household with Susan (age 67) and Richard (age 65) Ross; also enumerated in the household was James R. McClintock (age 15) and Edmund Robinson (age 9). This James R. McClintock was probably the son of Francis and Priscilla (Ross or Green) McClintock (#76). Mary Jane McClintock Ross married (second) Samuel Gregg (or Gregory).¹⁵⁹ I have no information on children, if any, of Mary Jane and her two husbands. In 1850, Mary Jane McClintock, not yet married, was living in Cherrytree Township with her uncle William Reynolds, born circa 1792, and her aunt Sarah Reynolds, born circa 1785, and a Josiah Reynolds, born circa 1825.¹⁶¹
+	119	v.	Hugh Culbertson McClintock; born March 1832; died April 1920; married 1863 Mary (or Margaret) Knapp.¹⁶¹
	120	vi.	Louis McClintock; ¹⁶² Louis was perhaps deceased by 1865; he was not mentioned in two 1865 Venango County deeds pertaining to the “heirs of James McClintock,” see above.
+	121	vii.	Lydia McClintock; born March or April 1834; died September or October 1916; buried in Greendale Cemetery; married Levi Lamey.
+	122	viii.	Adaline McClintock; born February 1836; died March 1895; married Jonathan Long.
	123	ix.	Rachel A. McClintock; born circa 1842 in Pennsylvania; married George W. Haskins;¹⁶³ born May 1841 in Pennsylvania. They lived in Meadville, Pennsylvania. Rachel was alive in 1913 according to the obituary of her brother John McClintock. According to federal censuses,¹⁶⁴ George was a (Latin) professor at Allegheny College in Meadville in 1880; and an attorney-at-law in 1900. Also with the family in 1880 was Ida Lamey, “niece,” born circa 1862 in Pennsylvania. Children known from the 1880 and 1900 federal censuses (all born in Pennsylvania): (a) Charles H. Haskins, born circa 1870; see his biography after list of other children. (b) Anna Haskins, born circa 1878. (c) Harold Haskins, born October 1882. Charles H. Haskins (1870-1937) American scholar, medieval historian and advisor to President Woodrow Wilson Charles Homer Haskins was born December 1870 in Pennsylvania; married Clare Arlen [—?—]; born 6 March 1881 in Missouri; died May 1970 (last residence was Cambridge, Massachusetts). In 1900 (page 7A) and 1910 (page 16), Charles, single, was living as a lodger in Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, where Charles was a professor (at Harvard). Charles, Clare and family were still in Cambridge in 1920 (page 3B) and 1930 (page 12A), when Charles continued as a professor (in 1930, Clare was enumerated as a teacher in a private school). Children known from the federal censuses (all born in Massachusetts); (1) George Lee Haskins, born 1905; (2) Charles A. Haskins, born circa 1907; and (3) Clare E. Haskins, born circa 1909. By typing "Charles H. Haskins" into your search engine, one will bring up several pages on this remarkable scholar. He was exceptionally talented at an early age, knowing Greek and Latin as a child. Charles started college at Allegheny College (Meadville, Pennsylvania) when he was 13. He received his undergraduate degree from Johns Hopkins University when he was 17 and his Ph.D from Johns Hopkins at age 20 (1890). He taught at the University of Wisconsin, before moving to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Harvard University, where he eventually married, raised a family and taught for 19 years, retiring in 1931. While at Johns Hopkins he met the future president Woodrow Wilson. The excerpt below is from Wilipedia, the free encyclopedia, online at (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Haskins). When Wilson attended the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, where the Treaty of Versailles was worked out, he brought only three advisors, including one medieval historian Charles Haskins, serving as chief of the Western European division of the American commission. Some of the continuing accolades testifying to Charles Homer Haskins' reputation include The Haskins Society, dedicated to the study of Viking an early English history; and The Charles Homer Haskins Lecture Series, which recognize Haskins contribution to scholarly achievements. The Series is sponsored by the American Council of Learned Societies. Here in part is what the Council said about our McClintock ancestor Charles Haskins in its online information about the Lectures (http://www.acls.org/ophaskin.html): A great American teacher, Charles Homer Haskins also did much to establish the reputation of American scholarship abroad. His distinction was recognized in honorary degrees from Strasbourg, Padula, Manchester, Paris, Louvain, Caen, Harvard, Wisconsin and Allegheny College, where in 1883 he had begun his higher education at the age of thirteen. Charles Homer Haskins (1870-1937). From Wikipedia, the free encylopeia, online at (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Haskins).
	124	x.	James (A.?) McClintock; born circa 1841.¹⁶⁵ James was a soldier in E Company, 121st Pennsylvania Regiment, during the Civil War.¹⁶⁶ He was apparently the James A. McClintock, born circa 1842, enumerated in 1860 with his brother John and family in Cornplanter Township.¹⁶⁷ However, there was a James A. McClintock, age 19 (born circa 1841), enumerated with a Joseph Strawbridge, age 50, and an Elizabeth Strawbridge, age 10 (and an Elizabeth Deets, age 11 or 17) in 1860 in Cherrytree Township.¹⁶⁸ In 1880, James and his mother, Louisa, were living in the household of James’s sister Lydia Lamey in Crawford County, where James was listed as a farmer.¹⁶⁹ In 1900, James A. McClintock was living with his brother Hugh C. McClintock and sister Lydia Lamey in Vernon Township, Crawford County. James, son of James and Louisa (Reynolds) McClintock, was probably the James A. McClintock, born August 1842; died June 1908; buried in Greendale Cemetery, Meadville, Crawford County.¹⁷⁰ There’s no indication of children for James McClintock in any of these censuses.
	125	xi.	William E. McClintock; born December 1845;¹⁷¹ married (first) Fannie Black; married (second) Katherine [—?— ].¹⁷² William moved to Michigan.¹⁷³ In 1900, William and children were living in Iron Mountain, Michigan; no wife was listed. Children known from the 1900 federal census (all born in Michigan): (a) Hallet McClintock, born October 1881 in Michigan; married Lillian A. [—?—]; born circa 1885 in Nebraska. The family was in Omaha, Ward 10, Douglas County, Nebraska in 1920 (page 13B), when Hallet was listed as a civil engineer. By 1930, Hallet had died, but Lillian, widow, and her children were still in Omaha (page 10B), where she was enumerated as a dressmaker. Their children known from the federal censuses (all born in Nebraska): (i) Claire McClintock, born circa 1913; (ii) Marion E. McClintock, born circa 1915; and (iii) Robert E. McClintock, born circa 1917. (b) Anna L. McClintock, born April 1884. (c) Anne L. McClintock, born June 1888 or 1891 (yes, apparently the first Anna L died young). In 1920, Anna was living with her brother Hallet and his family; she was enumerated as a stenographer for a newspaper.¹⁷⁴

65. ANN⁴ MCCLINTOCK (Hamilton³, Hugh², Francis¹), born 22 July 1802; died 9 February 1868 or 1869; buried in Plumer Cemetery, Cornplanter Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania;¹⁷⁵ married March 1822¹⁷⁶ MOSES DAVIDSON, born circa 1794,¹⁷⁷ died 4 February 1858, buried in Plumer Cemetery. Moses’ stone lists him dying 4 February 1858 in the 64th year.¹⁷⁸ Moses Davidson, age 31, was reported as a member of Venango Guards in the 1823 Muster Roll.¹⁷⁹ Moses Davidson was on the 1834 tax list for Cornplanter Township.¹⁸⁰ In 1850, Moses, Ann and family were enumerated in Cornplanter Township.¹⁸¹ In 1860, after Moses had died, Ann was living with her son Alexander in Cherrytree Township.¹⁸² Moses Davidson possibly had a first wife, Sarah Halliday (Hallyday), daughter of Francis and Sarah Horth Halliday of Cornplanter Township. Bell (1890), p. 851, reports a Moses Davidson husband of Sarah Halliday who died 1817, left a child, Francis.

Ann (McClintock) Davidson died intestate and this resulted in several Orphan Court documents.¹⁸³ One of these is especially instructive because it lists spouses of all daughters alive at that time.¹⁸⁴ Also mentioned were the minor children of Ann (McClintock) Davidson, deceased, and “Angeline Davidson a grandchild.” Assuming Culbertson’s (1923), page 431, list of children for Alexander Culbertson is complete, Angeline probably would have been a child of the other son, James Davidson, who was not mentioned in this important document. Another child not mentioned in this petition was Charlotte Davidson, who died in 1833. Ann’s son Alexander and son–in–law Hamilton Culbertson were administrators of Ann (McClintock) Davidson’s estate, which included properties in Cornplanter Township, Venango County, and Titusville, Crawford County.¹⁸⁵

Children of Moses and Ann (McClintock) Davidson:¹⁸⁶

+	126	i.	Mary⁵ Davidson; born 10 June 1826; died 1893; married William G. Wolf.
	127	ii.	James Davidson; born circa 1828. Possibly he was the James Davidson, first husband of Elizabeth Jane Stewart, see under William Perry McClintock (#78) and #4 of the Charles Stewart family of Cherrytree Township in the “Notes on Stewarts” section of The Oil Creek Flemings of Venango County, Pennsylvania, with related families, Volume 2. James was not mentioned in Culbertson (1923) nor in the 30 November 1868 petition of heirs and legal representative, see above. He is only known from the 1850 federal census of Cornplanter Township, being in the household of his parents. The Elizabeth Jane Stewart who married a James Davidson had a child Lydia Agnes Davidson, known to have been alive in 1880, see under #78 of “McClintocks.” But she was not mentioned in the 30 November 1868 petition—unless she was also called Angeline.
	128	iii.	Charlott D. Davidson; born 1829; died 1833.¹⁸⁷
+	129	iv.	Rachel Davidson; born circa 1833; died 5 June 1897; buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Oil City, Pennsylvania; married Hamilton Culbertson.
	130	v.	(tentative) Sarah Davidson; married [—?—] Culbertson. Sarah was not listed in Culbertson (1923) nor was she with the family in the 1850 federal census for Cornplanter Township, but she was mentioned as a heir in the 1868 Venango County Orphans Court Docket.¹⁸⁸ Possibly by 1850 she had married. Since heirs other than children of Ann Davidson were so designated in this document (and Sarah was not), I am tentatively listing her as a child. If the given name of Sarah’s husband was known, probably we could associate him with our Culbertsons.

67. ISABELLA⁴ MCCLINTOCK (Hamilton³, Hugh², Francis¹), born 1 May 1806; died 15 February 1846; married 1832 JOSEPH ANDERSON, born circa 1812¹⁸⁹ in Pennsylvania.¹⁹⁰ After Isabella died, Joseph married Elizabeth Culbertson, daughter of Francis and Mary Steeples Culbertson (see #30 of “Culbertsons” for their children).

In 1850, Joseph, Isabella and family were living in Cornplanter Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania. In 1860, Joseph, second wife Elizabeth and child Sarah by Isabella and children Alexander (born circa 1848), James (born circa 1851), Joseph (born circa 1854), and John (born circa 1857) by Elizabeth were still in Cornplanter Township, where Joseph was enumerated as a farmer.

(In 1850, living next door to Joseph Anderson and family in Cornplanter Township were Thomas Anderson, born circa 1780 in Ireland, and Mary Anderson, born 1776 in Ireland; also in the household were Lucy Broderick, born circa 1817 in New York and Augustus Skinner, born 1829 “on the ocean.”¹⁹¹ Probably Thomas and Mary Anderson were the parents of Joseph Anderson. The Mary Anderson, wife of Thomas [he died 3 September 1859, buried in Plumer Cemetery¹⁹²] was Mary (McFate) Anderson; died 18 January 1861; buried in Plumer Cemetery; married (first) Robert Dunlap. Mary McFate Anderson was a daughter of Joseph and Jane Culbertson McFate¹⁹³ (see #15 of “Notes on McFates” section in The Oil Creek Flemings of Venango County, Pennsylvania, with related families, Volume 2). Assuming Joseph was a son of Thomas Anderson, then Joseph married two second cousins, once removed, Isabella (McClintock) Anderson and Elizabeth (Culbertson) Anderson being first cousins. These interrelationships are best viewed as a figure.)

Children of Joseph and Isabella (McClintock) Anderson:¹⁹⁴

134	i.	Robert⁵Anderson Anderson; born circa 1834 (at which time Joseph’s second wife Elizabeth would have only been circa 13).
135	ii.	Hamilton Anderson; born circa 1836. There was an 1864 Venango County land deed in which Joseph Anderson and wife Elizabeth and Hamilton Anderson sold land in Cornplanter Township to James Hazelton and others of New York.¹⁹⁵ The deed indicates the land (8 acres) was initially warranted to a Henry Wolf, no date. There was a Hamilton Anderson, farmer, born circa 1836 in Pennsylvania, both parents born in Pennsylvania. This Hamilton was living in Pawnee County, Kansas, in 1880.¹⁹⁶ Wife listed as Mary, born circa 1852 in Pennsylvania, both parents born in Pennsylvania. Children listed for this census were (a) Hamilton E. Anderson, born circa 1870 in Missouri. (b) Francis Anderson, born circa 1872 in Illinois. (c) Emily Anderson, born circa 1876 in Kansas. (d) Samuel Anderson, born circa 1878 in Kansas.
136	iii.	Mary Anderson; born circa 1834
137	iv.	Sarah Anderson; born circa 1840
138	v.	female Anderson; born circa 1844

68. CULBERTSON⁴ MCCLINTOCK (Hamilton³, Hugh², Francis¹), born 16 May 1809; died (of smallpox¹⁹⁷) 3 March 1855; married 3 November 1842¹⁹⁸ SARAH MCKNIGHT, born 27 May 1813; died 18 May 1864. Both Culbertson and Sarah are buried in Plumer Cemetery,¹⁹⁹ Cornplanter Township Venango County.

Culbertson and Sarah were enumerated in Cornplanter Township in 1850.²⁰⁰ Culbertson McClintock’s land, of 200 acres (Map 2), to become famous as the Widow McClintock’s or Coal Oil Johnny’s Farm, was given to Culbertson by his father on 24 May 1851. The deed was recorded two months after Sarah died in 1864.²⁰¹

Culbertson McClintock’s will was written 28 February 1855, recorded 30 March 1855. From Venango County, Pennsylvania, Will Book 3, page 151–152:²⁰²

In the name of God I Culbertson McClintock of Cornplanter Township in the county of Venango in the state of Pennsylvania being weak … I give and bequeath unto my wife Sarah all that certain tract of land on which I now reside lying on Oilcreek adjoining land of John Rynd and John McClintock and other lands containing about two hundred acres of land with all buildings and appurtenances belonging there to have and to hold during her lifetime or so long as she shall remain my Widow and after her marriage or decease the total of land to _____ in fee simple [fee simple used in this context would probably mean fee simple absolute, with unconditional powers of disposition during the persons life time [see Black (1979), page 354] into the hands of John Washington Steel for him to have and to hold for ever and his heirs after him. I give and bequeath to Sarah Emily Scott who is now of my family one three year old heifer and two good sheep. I give and bequeath unto Sarah my wife all the remainder of my Stock which after my decease together the household furniture loose property and farming utensils which is now belonging to my farm and all debts which may be due me … And lastly I nominate and appoint John Rynd and Sarah my wife to be my Executors …

Witnesses: Thomas McKnight [he is probably the Thomas McKnight, brother of Sarah’s, see below] and John Blood.

Thanks to “Coal Oil Johnny” (see below), there is a description of Culbertson McClintock's home before the oil activity. The house is now a Pennsylvania historical marker and is located north of Rouseville, Pennsylvania, across Oil Creek from Route 8²⁰³ (see Map 3).

An article in the Titusville Herald, 17 January 2005²⁰⁴ by Michael Molitoris reports

Coal Oil Johnny’s home eyes makeover
After being moved just shy of a mile from its original plot, the home of petrolia’s prodigal prince is due for an interior makeover later this year.

The former Oil Heritage Region Inc. oversaw the 2001 move of John Washington Steele’s house -- better known as the Coal Oil Johnny's house --from its original location along Waitz Road, Cornplanter Township to Rynd Farm on the opposite side of Oil Creek . . .

Previous to the above actions, there was an online article in Preservation Pennsylvania, 1997, author not known,²⁰⁵ about the house being in a state of disrepair. The house was determined to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places . . . “Its foundation stones have shifted and are rotating, jeopardizing its structural integrity. Support beams underneath the kitchen wing are so rotten that they crumble when touched. Unoccupied for more than fifty years, the house has become home to rodents and insects. Although intermittent roof repairs were made, water damage is so extensive to both the exterior and interior that a recent study estimates that only seventy percent of the front portion and at best fifteen percent of the rear portion are safely usable in restoration efforts.”

Home of Culbertson and Sarah (McKnight) McClintock Culbertson McClintock’s house. From Steele (1902), opposite page 46. The picture would have been taken after the start of the oil excitement in 1860. Note that this is a frame house and is presumably the one moved in 2005. The house that Johnny described and apparently built by his step-father, Culbertson McClintock, was of the one-room log cabin style.

From Steele (1902), pages 17–18:

The house in which we lived when I was a boy was the old–fashioned, log–cabin style of architecture, of one room, with a door and window at each side, while at one end was a large fire–place which furnished light and warmth for the house, as well as heat for cooking purposes. About the room were strung festoons of dried apples, dried pumpkins, and red peppers. The roof of a shed built against one end of the house served as a means for reaching the garret, wherein were stored many of the farming implements when not in use, and in this room were also placed the butternuts, walnuts, hickory–nuts, and chestnuts, which I always gathered in the fall and put away for the long winter evenings.

In this place, too, “Aunt Sally” stored her “yarbs,” prominent among which was a goodly supply of boneset, for she believed in the efficacy of the tea made from that plant as firmly as I despised the concoction. Were anything wrong with my physical organization, out would come the boneset, and I would be treated to an internal bath until my soul cried out in protest. Many a time did I suffer in silence rather than to endure a deluge of my Aunt’s favorite remedy.

The neighborhood frolics were gatherings which I always enjoyed. Nuts were brought down from the garret, and cracked between a hammer and flat–iron, the reddest and juiciest apples came from the cellar, and cider drawn from the best barrel into the big pitcher. And with the old fire–place all aglow, the conversation seasoned with perhaps, crude, but hearty, wit, hardships were forgotten, and the evenings would wear away with a zest and happiness which were never experienced in later life, and left deep impressions upon the memory which can always be recalled with the keenest pleasure.

Johnny goes on to mention that Culbertson eventually purchased a cookstove, which afterwards provided the heat and was used for cooking. Johnny said the stove allowed us to step “one rung higher in the social ladder than our neighbors who were stoveless.”²⁰⁶ One would suspect it was into this stove that Sarah threw a bucket of crude oil.

Sarah (McKnight) McClintock was terribly burned 17 March 1864 while attempted to light her stove. See “Tell the boys to drink water” in the Oil and Our Oil Creek Ancestors section. The next day—one can imagine how terribly painful this must have been—she made her will; she died the same day, 18 March 1864. The will was recorded four days later, 22 March 1864. Later, undoubtedly because of Coal Oil Johnny, Sarah’s brother–in–law, Hamilton [Jr.], filed suit to break Culbertson's will,²⁰⁷ but he were not successful. Possibly John McClintock (#116), and George W. McClintock (#80) were also involved in the suit but I have not located the document.

Will of Sarah McClintock (Venango County Orphans Court, Will Book 3, page 344, written 18 March 1864, recorded 22 March 1864):²⁰⁸

In the name of God Amen. I Sarah McClintock of the Township of Cornplanter in the County of Venango and state of Pennsylvania being of sound mind and memory and considering the uncertainty of life do therefore make and ordain publish and declare this to be my last will and testament. That is to say after all my lawful debts are paid and discharged the residue of my Estate real and personal to wit I give and bequeath and dispose of as follows: To my cousin Rachel McKnight one hundred Dollars in Cash, to Sarah Emily Moffett [she was Sarah Emily Scott, adopted by Culbertson and Sarah] Two hundred dollars in Cash, the remainder to John W. Steel. Likewise I make and constitute Said John W. Steel and R. W. McFate to be executors of this my last will and testament hereby revoking all former wills made by me. In witness thereof I have hereunto Set my name and affixed my seal the eighteenth day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand Eight hundred and Sixty four.
Sarah McClintock

Venango County S. S.
Personally came before me H. B. Gordon, Register for the Probate of wills and granting Letters of Administration in and for the County afore Said N. W. B. and Jesse Martz the Subscribing Witnesses to the above will who being duly sworn according to law, do Say that the[y] were present and Saw and heard Sarah McClintock the testator Sign Seal Publish pronounce and declare the foregoing Testament of writing as and [?] her last Will and testament and that at the time of so doing She was of Sound mind Memory and understanding to the best of their Knowledge and belief. Swore and Subscribed before me this 22 Day of March 1864, H. B. Gordon, Regt.
Letters granted to John W. Steel and R. W. McFate, 22rd March 1864.

It is important to present the entire will, because accounts usually leave the impression Sarah McClintock’s will was made sometime before she was burned. For example, McLaurin (1902), page 146, states that her will was written soon after her husband died, and that Sarah died within an hour of being burned. Another account has her keeping her will in a safe in her home. Admittedly, it is hard to imagine Sarah making her will after being so badly burned, but the date, 18 March 1864, would indicate she did.

From Venango County, Pennsylvania, Probate and Orphan’s Court Docket 2, page 460, 11 March 1865:²⁰⁹

Account Final of R. W. McFate and John W. Steele, Executors.
March 11th 1865. Filed Final Account of R. W. McFate and John W. Steele, Executors of the last will and testament of Sarah McClintock deceased.
April 27 1865. Confirmed Nisi by the Court.

May 17 [?] 1865. Confirmed finally by the Court
H. B. Gordon, Clk. Ale.

The R. W. McFate would most likely have been Robert W. McFate, born 25 April 1834, married Hulda J. Ricketts, daughter of James and Jane (McCalmont) Ricketts. Robert W. was a son of Joseph and Margaret McKnight (a sister of Sarah McKnight McClintock) McFate. See Robert W. McFate (#104 of “Notes on McFates” section in The Oil Creek Flemings of Venango County, Pennsylvania, with related families, Volume 2. The John W. Steele of course was Coal Oil Johnny. The H. B. Gordon was probably Hiram B. Gordon, who married Mary Ann McClintock (#166), a cousin of Culbertson McClintock.

Sarah McKnight was a daughter of David and Mary Williams McKnight.²¹⁰ Sarah’s sister Mary Ann McKnight married Robert Hays, son of William and Rebecca Hays²¹¹ (one of their children, Mary Jane Hays married Moses Ward, #116 of “McFates”); another sister of Sarah’s, Margaret McKnight, married Joseph McFate, see #43 of “McFates.” A third sister of Sarah’s was Rebecca McKnight.²¹²

Culbertson and Sarah were childless but adopted John and Permelia Steele in 1845 (see also “Tell the boys to drink water” in the Oil and Our Oil Creek Ancestors section). After Permelia's death in 1851, they adopted another child, Sarah Emily Scott.

Children (adopted) of Culbertson and Sarah (McKnight) Culbertson:

	139	i.	Permelia⁵Steele (adopted circa 1845); born circa 1841,²¹³ died 15 December 1851; buried Plumer Cemetery.²¹⁴
	140	ii.	Sarah Emily Scott; (adopted circa 1853²¹⁵), born circa 1842. She was enumerated with Sarah McClintock and John W. Steele in Cornplanter Township in 1860.²¹⁶ She was adopted after Permelia died. Sarah Emily married Richard Moffett.²¹⁷ Note that John Steele married Eleanor Moffett, but the Richard Moffett who married Sarah Emily Scott was apparently not the Richard D. Moffett, brother of Eleanor Moffett—see #141.
+	141	iii.	John (“Coal Oil Johnny”) Washington Steele ; (adopted 1845), born 1843 in Sheakleyville, Sandy Creek Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania; died December 1920; married Eleanor J. Moffett.
