Generation Four
There were four Hamilton McClintocks listed for Venango County in the 1850 federal census and three had wives named Mary: (1) Hamilton McClintock [Sr.] (#15), born 1771 and wife Mary (Culbertson), of Cornplanter Township; (2) their son Hamilton McClintock [Jr.] (#72), born 1820, and wife Mary (Jack) of Cornplanter Township; (3) Hamilton McClintock (#115), born 1822, and wife Mary (Small), of Cherrytree Township —he was son of James and Louisa (Reynolds) McClintock. The fourth Hamilton was Hamilton McClintock (#75), born 1811, and wife Sarah Ann probably Ross, of Cherrytree Township —he was a son of Francis and Rachel Hardy McClintock.
Hamilton [Jr.], came into much of his father’s oil–rich property and also the farm (see “Oil and Our Oil Creek Ancestors”). By 1865, Hamilton and Mary were living in New Castle, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania.273 In 1870, Hamilton and family were enumerated in New Castle,274 Pennsylvania, with $150,000 real estate and $75,000 personal property. As shown by the contents of Elizabeth McClintock Tarr’s will, see above, Elizabeth and Hamilton, the two youngest children of Hamilton [Sr.] and Mary (Culbertson) McClintock, apparently were very close.
From Democratic Arch, Franklin, Pennsylvania, 19 January 1843:275Married last Thursday by J. G. McGuire, Hamilton McClintock, Jr., of Cornplanter Twp. and Mary Jack, daughter of William Jack, of this borough.From the Venango Spectator, 3 August 1882:
Hamilton McClintock died at his residence in Pittsburgh on Saturday last in the 62nd year of his age. Mr. McClintock was one of the early settlers in Oil Creek, this county, and for years was a farmer, struggling with a sterile soil for the means of subsistence. Oil came, and with it came wealth for him as well as many others. But money did not spoil Hamilton McClintock. He retained his old friendships and never forgot those who had struggled with him in the days of adversity and hard work. About a month ago he was stricken with paralysis, which ultimately caused his death. He leaves four sons and two daughters to mourn his loss of an affectionate father, and many friends in Venango County and elsewhere will hear of his death with unfeigned sorrow.I have not been able to locate the will of Hamilton McClintock [Jr.]. Apparently the will is not recorded in Venango County, and it is not in the 1881–1882 will books for Allegheny County, Pennsylvania276 nor the 1858–1884 will books for Lawrence County, Pennsylvania.277
According to Hamilton’s obituary, four sons and two daughters were living when Hamilton died in 1882; my list of children, taken mainly from the 1850 and 1860 federal censuses for Cornplanter Township,278 and the 1870 census for New Castle,279 Pennsylvania, only partially correlates with those reported by others.

A marriage license282 lists a James S. McClintock of Meadville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, born 24 January 1862; married 13 October 1898 Harriet Christon of Meadville, born 24 January 1874.283 I first believed this James S (Samuel?) was the Samuel (James S.), son of Hamilton and Mary. However, the 1900 Pennsylvania soundex for McClintocks284 list James S. and Harriet McClintock living in West Mead Township, Crawford County, with brother Archie McClintock, born May 1870, and a Lillie (unknown relationship), presumably a McClintock and possibly Archie’s wife, born March 1870. Perhaps “Archie” is an error. Both James S. McClintock and Harriet Christon McClintock are buried in Greendale Cemetery, Meadville, Pennsylvania, where the burial records show James being born January 1862; buried 2 October 1942, and Harriet being born circa 1874; buried 20 August 1930.285 | |
The Fleming–McClintock Buggy Episode
The Flemings and McClintocks were related by two early Venango County
marriages. Samuel Fleming married Jane McClintock and Samuel's brother
Andrew Fleming married Jane's aunt, Ann McClintock. The following item
is from the papers of Justice of the Peace D. W. Henderson of
Pleasantville.286 The Sam (called Saul) Fleming was my direct
ancestor (husband of Jane McClintock Fleming), Edward Seeley was
Samuel's son–in–law (he married Rachel Louisa Fleming—#30 of
“Flemings”) and the Hamilton McClintock was Hamilton [Jr.], Hamilton
[Sr.] having died the previous year.
Venango CountyWithout being privy to the circumstances involved with this, one perhaps should not comment further on it. Pure mischief, though, was probably not Hamilton's intent. Hamilton [Sr.] had died the previous year, and possibly Hamilton, Jr., took it on himself to settle the estate, in part.
The information of Edward Seeley of Cornplanter township Venango County state of Pennsylvania Farmer taken upon his Oath before D. W. Henderson a Justice of the Peace in and for the Borough of Pleasantville County and state aforesaid the 14th day of Oct A. D. 1858 the said Edward Seeley under said Oath saith that on or about the night of the 13th of Oct AD 1858 at the residence of Saul (sic) Fleming in Allegheny township county and state aforesaid the following goods and chattels to wit= a one horse buggy valued for $125 dol has been by some person or persons feloniously stolen taken and carried away out of the shed of the said Saul Fleming in the township aforesaid and that the said goods and chattels as he hath just and reasonable Cause to believe and suspect and he doth believe and suspect that the said buggy is concealed on the premises of one Hamilton McClintock, farmer in the township of Cornplanter.

The D. W. Henderson could have been either David [Sr.] or David [Jr.]—see #6 and #36 of “Hendersons,” The Oil Creek Flemings of Venango County, Pennsylvania, with related families, Volume 2.
73. HUGH4 H. MCCLINTOCK (Francis3, Hugh2, Francis1), born 31 July 1802; died 4 November 1862; buried in Cherry Tree Cemetery;287 married (first) MARY M.288 [—?—], possibly Ross, born circa 1805; died 19 August 1858; buried in Cherry Tree Cemetery;289 married (second) MARIA L. (sometimes spelled Mariah, Monah, and Maniah) [—?—], born circa 1831 in New York state,290 died 1 April 1895; buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Oil City, Pennsylvania.291
Venango County land deeds instituted through 1856292 list the name of Hugh H. McClintock’s wife as Mary E. The remaining documents list Hugh’s wife as Maria L. McClintock.293
Ross as the maiden name of Hugh’s first wife, Mary E., is tentative and based in part on a query that appeared in the Venango County Genealogical Club Newsletter, Spring 1988, by the late Stanley E. Ross of Redding, California. The query lists James Ross; died circa 1833 in Cherrytree Township, married Susan (Green?). The first child mentioned was “Mary, married MCCLINTOCK . . .” Two of Hugh’s brother were known from land deeds to have been closely associated with Rosses, probably marrying into this Ross family. Also note that Hugh and Mary’s second daughter was named Susan. The land deeds and the above query are treated in detail under Hugh’s brother Hamilton McClintock (#75). In 1861, Hugh H. McClintock and second wife Maria L. sold 35 perches of land in Cornplanter Township for $125 to an E. H. Huntley.294 The deed mentions that this was part of a larger tract deeded from James Halyday and wife to Ester Nevins, to Mary McClintock [first wife of Hugh], and then deeded to Susan and Sarah McClintock [daughters of Hugh and first wife Mary], heirs–at–law of Mary McClintock, deceased. But I can not make a connection between Mary (presumably Ross) McClintock and either Ester Nevins or James Halyday and wife.295
An 1869 Orphans Court petition of John A. Christy296 (“owner of a tract of land in Oil City, which is part of the lot where one H. H. McClintock, late of Oil City, resided . . .”) is instructive in naming heirs of Hugh H. McClintock: widow Maria L., and three children, Susan, wife of Thomas H. Davidson, Sarah J., the wife of Thomas McLane, and Judson McClintock, “all of which reside in Oil City and that Judson is an infant under the age of 14, the others of full age.”
Hugh and Mary were still in Cherrytree Township in 1847 when John Stevenson of Cherrytree Township bought land from Hugh H. and his wife Mary.297 Hugh McClintock, in the 1850s, erected one of the first houses in the town of Cherry Tree.298 In 1850, the family was enumerated in Cherry Tree Township.299 In 1852, Hugh H. and Mary McClintock sold property in Cherrytree Borough (possible the above mentioned house) to Hugh’s brother Andrew Jackson McClintock. The witness was Robert Archer.300 In 1854, Hugh and Mary sold additional land in Cherrytree Township to William Story of Cornplanter Township. Witnesses were James Strawbridge and Andrew J. McClintock (#81).301 In 1860, Hugh, a carpenter, and second wife Maria, with Hugh’s daughter Sarah and a Sarah Downey, age 14, were living in Cornplanter Township, Venango County.302

McClintock;
born November 1835 in Pennsylvania; married Thomas H. Davidson;304 born circa 1825 in Pennsylvania. In 1869 Susan
Davidson, “one of the heirs of the late Hugh H. McClintock, late of the
Borough of Oil City” petitioned the court for the administrator of
Hugh’s estate, Arville Golles, to make settlement.305. In 1870, Thomas, Susan and child Eddie were living in Oil City, Venango County, Pennsylvania (page 451), where Thomas was enumerated as a shoemaker. In 1900, Susan, widow, was living with her son Edward; and in 1910, Susan was living with her daughter Gertrude Funk and family.
Known children of Thomas and Susan (McClintock) Davidson: (a) Edward Davidson, born September 1860 in Pennsylvania; apparently died before the time of the 1910 federal census; married Katie [—?—]; born March 1859 in Germany. In 1900, the family was living in Oil City, Venango County, Pennsylvania (page 6B), where Edward was listed as a clerk in a hotel. Children known from the 1900 census (both born in Pennsylvania): (i) Ralph Davidson, born June 1889; and (ii) Edward Davidson, born July 1891. Also with the family in 1900, was Edward's widowed mother, Susan, and Edward's unmarried sister Gertrude Davidson. (b) Gertrude Davidson, born February 1879 in Pennsylvania; married William A. Funk, born circa 1882 in Pennsylvania; died after the 1920 federal census and before the 1930 census. The family lived in Oil City, Pennsylvania, in 1910 (census page 4A), 1920 (page 1A), and 1930 (12B), at which time Getrude was a widow, enumerated as a saleslady. William was enumerated as a machinist in a machine shop in 1910, and as a locomotive machinist in 1920. Also with the family in 1910 was Gertrude's mother, Susan, who reported two children, one living; hence her son Edward had died before the 1910 federal census. Children of William and Gertrude known from the federal censuses (both born in Pennsylvania): (i) Thelma M. Funk, born circa 1904 (listed as a stenographer for a wholesale grocery in 1930, when single, and living with her mother); and (ii) George S. Funk, born 1909 (listed as an apprentice in a drugstore in 1930, when single and living with his mother). |

74. JAMES4 R. MCCLINTOCK (Francis3, Hugh2, Francis1), born 5 May 1804 in Pennsylvania; died 10 December 1867; buried in Cherry Tree Cemetery,307 where his grave is marked by a large stone; married (first) MARY FOLWELL, born 6 February 1807; died 28 September 1842; buried in Cherry Tree Cemetery;308 married (second) JANE [—?—], born 21 June 1820; died 13 November 1843; this is based on her stone in Cherry Tree Cemetery: “Jane wife of Col. J. R. McClintock died November 13, 1843, aged 23 yrs, 4 mos, and 22 days.” Jane and Mary share a single stone, which states that Colonel J. R. McClintock was the husband of both. James R. married (third) JERUSHA TENNENT, born 21 August 1807309 in Connecticut;310 died 1904.311
From Franklin (Pennsylvania) Public Library, obituary abstracts, Venango Spectator (Franklin), 13 December 1867:
MCCLINTOCK, James R. At his residence in Dempseytown on Tuesday, Dec. 10th 1867 of palsy, Col. James R. McClintock in the 64th year of his age.From Franklin (Pennsylvania) Public Library, obituary abstracts, Daily Leader (Franklin), 13 October 1842, page 3:
MCCLINTOCK, Mary consort of JR McClintock, age 35, died in Oakland twp. 28 Sept.
In 1850, James and Jerusha and family were in Oakland Township.312 In 1860, James R. and Jerusha and children Columbus F., Angeline, Charles and Homer were enumerated in Oakland Township,313 where James R. was listed as an innkeeper with $11,190 in real estate and $4,800 in personal estate. In 1870 and 1880, Jerusha was living with her son Charles A. McClintock and family in Oakland Township. 314
Several documents confirm Jerusha Tennent as a wife of James R. McClintock. Jerusha was a daughter of John Tennent (born circa 1768; died 2 March 1840; buried in Memory Acres, Pleasantville, Pennsylvania,315) who came to Allegheny Township in 1826 from Colchester, New London, Connecticut. At the time there were two daughters, “one of whom, Mrs. James R. McClintock, now lives in Oil City.”316 Jerusha’s mother was Hannah Atwell Tennent.317
Except for the previously mentioned stone, I can find no documents or other sources for James’s second wife, Jane. And only a few documents mention James R. having a first wife, Mary. The above 13 October 1842 obituary is one, her stone in Cherry Tree Cemetery another, and Hanson and Hanson (1995) list F. A. McClintock, born 1831; died 1898, a child of James R. McClintock and Mary McClintock. Also this in Jordan (1913), page 675: “James R., son of Francis and Rachel (Hardy) McClintock, was born at Petroleum Center, May 5, 1804; died December 10, 1867. He served in the state militia and rose to the rank of Brigadier general. He married Mary Folwell, daughter of John and Nancy (Shellmier) Folwell.318 Their children: Mary Anne, Francis, Sheldon, Seymore.” [Jordan erroneously reports a Joseph McClintock instead of Francis as the founder of our McClintock clan in North America.] Possibly the Nathan Folwell who married Sarah Henderson was either a brother of cousin of Mary Folwell McClintock—see #29 of “Hendersons” in The Oil Creek Flemings of Venango County, Pennsylvania, with related families, Volume 2. Known siblings319 of Mary Folwell were Isaac, Jane and Charlotte.320
Regarding James R. McClintock and the Folwells of Venango County, there is a transaction from James R. McClintock, Executor, to Joseph Folwell, for land in Oakland Township, Venango County.321 There are also three 1835–1836 land deeds between John and Nancy Folwell, their son Isaac, and James McClintock.322
James and family lived mainly in Dempseytown, Oakland Township. He was in the Venango County Militia in 1823 as a private, but eventually became a brigadier general in the State Militia.323 Jerusha McClintock was baptized (at age about 71) in the Dempseytown Presbyterian Church, 13 November 1881.324
From Newton (1879), page 612:James R. McClintock was born near the place where Petroleum Centre now stands on May 5th, 1804. He engaged in the lumbering business in connection with farming for several years. About the year 1836 he settled on a farm near Dempseytown, and remained there until the year 1841, when he removed to the village, and engaged in the hotel business in connection with farming. In 1853, he engaged with Brewer, Watson and Merrick in the mercantile business until his death in 1867. He filled the various offices in the militia—Captain, Colonel, and Brigadier General. He was Justice of the Peace for many years. He died December 10th, 1867.

buried in Shenango Valley Cemetery. Angeline lived in Greenville,
Hempfield Township, Mercer County Pennsylvania. She was baptized 23
February 1868 in the Dempseytown Presbyterian Church.328
Angeline being born 1843 and hence a child of James and Jane [—?—]
McClintock is based on calculations taken from Angeline’s obituary.
However, Angeline was listed as age 13 (born 1847) in the 1860 federal
census, and if correct she would be a child of James and third wife
Jerusha (Tennent) McClintock. In 1910, Angeline was enumerated as servant, age 66, in the household of Charles and Philina Clauson in Mercer, South Ward, Mercer County, Pennsylvania (page 9B). From Franklin (Pennsylvania) Public Library, obituary abstracts, The News Herald (Franklin), 5 April 1921, page 2: MCCLINTOCK, Angeline Miss 77y, 6m, 12d, died wr? March at home of sister–in–law Mrs. Margaret McClintock [she would be Margaret Keen McClintock, wife of C. Ferdinand McClintock], 18 Ridge Ave., Greenville, where she had made her home for many years. Buried in Shenango valley cemetery. Daughter of J. R. McClintock, former resident of Dempseytown. |
|
The following children of James McClintock, based on birth dates, are tentatively treated as children of James and third wife Jerusha (Tennent) McClintock:
|
|
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| + | 171 | viii. | C. (Charles) A. (Alden) McClintock; born 7 December 1846, still alive in 1914; married 6 October 1870 Mary Adaline Richey. |
| + | 172 | ix. | Homer McClintock; born 14 December 1849 in Dempseytown; died 21 October 1912 in Oil City; married Susan Martin. |
| 173 | x. | James McClintock [Jr.]. James was not necessarily the last born child, and not necessarily a child of Jerusha Tennent McClintock. He was not enumerated with James R. and Jerusha McClintock in 1850. He is known as a child of James R. McClintock only from the 1895 obituary of his brother Francis;329 at that time James was living in Tidioute, Warren County, Pennsylvania. The 1900 Pennsylvania soundex for McClintocks330 lists a James McClintock of Brokenstraw Township, Warren County, as a resident of the “Rouse Hospital.” Possibly the James R. McClintock, age 15, enumerated in the household of Thomas, Susan and Richard Ross in Cherrytree Township in 1850331 was this James. However, the James R. McClintock in the Ross household in 1850 was probably the James McClintock (#176), son of Francis and Priscilla McClintock. | |
75. HAMILTON4 MCCLINTOCK (Francis3, Hugh2, Francis1); born circa 1811 in Pennsylvania; still alive in 1889, according to the obituary of his brother Andrew Jackson McClintock; married SARAH ANNA, probably ROSS or GREEN, born circa 1821 in Pennsylvania.332
Hamilton and Sarah Anna apparently were married by 1840.333 Hamilton McClintock was in the 1850 and 1860 federal censuses for Cherrytree Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, where Hamilton was listed as a farmer. Also in the household in 1860 (page 8A) were Joseph Fillimore, born circa 1851 in Pennsylvana, and William Fillimore, born circa 1854 in Pennsylvania. In 1854, Hamilton and wife Sarah Anna sold land in Cherrytree Township to Zardus [Yardus?] Lacy.334 The 1889 obituary for Hamilton’s brother Andrew Jackson lists Hamilton, living in Nebraska, as the only surviving child of Francis and Rachel (Hardy) McClintock.
Three Venango County deeds335 in 1853, pertaining to land in Cherrytree Township, in the name of the heirs of James Ross, deceased, whose wife was Susan, see below, suggest that both Hamilton and his brother Francis married Rosses or possibly Greens. Those listed as heirs were Nancy A. Ross (of Warren County), Sarah Ann Robinson (of Crawford County), and the remainder from Venango County, namely: Richard Ross and wife Emeline, Calvin Lovell and wife Susan, Yardus Lacy and wife Margaret, Hamilton McClintock and wife Sarah, and Francis R. McClintock and wife Priscilla.
The deeds are best considered in relation to a query that appeared in the Venango County Genealogical Newsletter, Spring 1988:James Ross, died ca. 1833, Cherrytree twp., married Susan (Green?): Mary married MCCLINTOCK [as indicated I feel this McClintock is Hugh H. McClintock, older brother of Hamilton (and Francis)], Sarah married ROBINSON, Margaret married LACY, Susan married LOVIL, James, Thomas Green [probably the first husband of Mary Jane McClintock (#118), daughter of James and Louisa Reynolds McClintock], Richard and Nancy Ann. [Note: both a James and Thomas G. Ross are buried in Cherry Tree Cemetery.336] Was widow Susan [a] sister [of] James Green, Sr., (W. Hickory) and Joel GREEN (miller–1797, Holland Land Co., went Cincinnati before 1810. Submitted by Stanley E. Ross, 12642 Iron Mt. Rd., Redding, California, 96001.
The query correlates with information in the land deeds, although the land deeds do not mention Mary (Ross) McClintock being an heir. The wives of Hamilton and Francis McClintock would somehow have to be “heirs” of James Ross, not the McClintocks. Perhaps Sarah Anna and Priscilla were both children of James and Susan (Green?) Ross, but the name Sarah was already taken by the daughter who married a Robinson. Alternately, Sarah Anna or Priscilla or both could be heirs because they were children of James’s wife Susan by a previous marriage, and perhaps Green was her married name, not her maiden name. In 1820, a James Ross was enumerated in Cherrytree Township: 1 male under 10, 1 male 26 and under 45, 3 females under 10, 1 female 10 and under 16, and 1 female 26 and under 45.337
By 1 June 1863, Sarah Anna McClintock had moved to Hammonton,
Atlantic County, New Jersey,338 and Sarah Anna
appointed Hamilton McClintock [her husband, although husband is not
mentioned] as her attorney to grant, bargain, lease, and sell oil
privileges within Venango County. Possibly this meant that Hamilton was
still in Venango County. However, by 21 October 1863, Hamilton was also
in Atlantic County, New Jersey, re a land deed from Hamilton McClintock
and Sarah A. his wife of Atlantic County, New Jersey to William
Patterson of Mercer County, Pennsylvania.339

| 176 | 86 | i. | James5 McClintock; born circa 1836. There was a James McClintock, Private in the Civil War.344 The James R. McClintock, age 15, enumerated in the household of Thomas Ross, age 27, Susan Ross, age 67 and Richard Ross, age 65, in Cherrytree Township in 1850345 was probably the son of Francis and Priscilla. But this would mean that James was enumerated twice in 1850, since he was also enumerated with his parents, Francis and Priscilla McClintock in 1850. Possibly the James R. McClintock enumerated with the Rosses was the James McClintock, son of Francis’s brother James R. McClintock.346 |
| 177 | ii. | Harrison McClintock; born circa 1838. This Harrison is probably the Harrison H. McClintock, born June 1839; died May 1919; buried in Greendale Cemetery, Meadville, Crawford County.347 In 1870 an H. McClintock, age 32 [born circa 1838], was enumerated in Cherrytree Township, with H. N. (female) McClintock, age 31, and presumably children: M. E. (female), age 2, and Charles McClintock, age 2/12 months.348 Probably he was Harrison McClintock, who at that time was reported as working on oil wells. Harrison McClintock was a Grantee in an estate deed of Francis McClintock, presumable the father of Harrison, instituted 1872 and recorded 12 August 1873, Docket 97, page 272.349 | |

SKINNER, born circa 1824.354 There was a Mrs. Lucy A. McClintock “wife of ___” (footstone broken) buried in the old Petroleum Centre Cemetery (also called the McClintock Cemetery).”355
Alexander married (second) SARAH JANE DRAKE, born 17 January 1833 in Middlefield, New Hampshire (the 1880 federal census reports Sarah born in Massachusetts); died 27 January 1912 in Rouseville,356 Cornplanter Township; buried in Cherry Tree Cemetery.357 There is an 1860 land deed between Alexander McClintock (grantee) and Benjamin Drake and his wife, Almina, (grantors) of Crawford County, Pennsylvania.358 These Drakes were the parents of Sarah Jane, as indicated in Sarah’s obituary. In 1880, Sarah, widow, was living in Cherrytree Township, Venengo County, Pennsylvania (page 13) with children Elmer, Susatta, Henry, Mina and Iva.
From Franklin (Pennsylvania) Public Library, obituary abstracts, Venango Spectator (Franklin), 8 August 1878:
MCCLINTOCK, Alexander, an old and esteemed citizen of Cherrytree twp., was found dead in his oat field, where he had been working, last Friday afternoon. He is supposed to have died of heart disease. Mr. McClintock was about 65 years of age. He leaves a wife and 5 children.From Franklin (Pennsylvania) Public Library, obituary abstracts, Venango Citizen's Press (Franklin), 29 January 1913:
MCCLINTOCK, Mrs. Sarah Jane Drake. Died 27 Jan. Age 80, at Rouseville. Born in Middlefield, New Hampshire So., MA, 17 Jan. 1833. Parents came from there to Petroleum Center in 1839. Widow of Alexander McClintock, daughter of Benjamin Drake. Sons and daughters: Mrs. Warren Stevens; Mrs. Charles Hancock; Mrs. James Arthurs; Ashley McClintock of Ashtabula, Henry of Kaneville [Cornplanter Township, Venango County]; Elmer of Oil City. Brothers and sisters: Mrs. Della Hahn; Mrs. J. D. Hanna, Myron Drake of Guy Mills [Randolph Township, Crawford County].
Alexander’s first wife, Lucy (Skinner) McClintock, was a child of James B. (circa 1800–1860) and Lucy [—?—] Skinner, born circa 1795.359 James B. Skinner died 27 August 1860360 and is buried in the old burial grounds in Plumer, Cornplanter Township. In his will,361 James mentions his wife (not by given name), sons Andrew Skinner and Hubbard Skinner, daughter Lydia and “my granddaughter Lucy A. McClintock.” In 1850 James B. (age 50) (erroneously listed as “Wm”), born New York, and wife Lucy [—?—] (age 55), born in New York, were enumerated in Cornplanter Township362 with Andrew Skinner (age 22), Lydia Skinner (age 30), Martha Skinner (age 16) and Lucy McClintock (age 7). James B. and wife Lucy were reported born in New York and their children in Pennsylvania. Apparently another daughter (or perhaps a sister or relative) was Elvira Skinner, see next. Another son was James B. Skinner (Jr., my designation), who married Nancy McClintock (#84), a sister of Alexander.
In 1863, the devisees of James B. Skinner (Sr., my designation) quit claimed their shares in James’s estate to Andrew and Hubbard Skinner.363 Devisees listed from Venango County were widow Lucy Skinner, James B. and Sophia Skinner [James’s first wife, Nancy McClintock, had died by this time], Lydia Skinner, and James and Martha Connant, formerly Martha Skinner. Myron and Elvira (or Almina) Egleston, formerly Elvira/Almina Skinner, were from Chautauqua County, New York. George Skinner and wife Louisa were from Columbiana County, Ohio. There was no mention of James B. (Jr.) and Lucy Skinner’s granddaughter, Lucy McClintock. In 1864, Hubbard Skinner and wife Nancy and Andrew Skinner and wife Catherine, all of Chautauqua County, New York, sold land in Cornplanter Township to Ann (McClintock) Davidson (see #65) of Cornplanter Township for $4500.364

McClintock;
born circa 1843–1845.
Lucy Ann McClintock, age 5, was enumerated with presumably her parents, Alexander and Jane (Lucy?) (Skinner) McClintock, in the 1850 census for Cherrytree Township;365 and Lucy McClintock, age 7, was enumerated with her grandparents, James B. and Lucy Skinner, also in the 1850 census, for Cornplanter Township.366 Possibly the two Lucys were the same person, and Lucy was enumerated twice. The scenario, entirely speculative, would be as follows: wife (Lucy) Jane (Skinner) McClintock probably died shortly after the 1850 census was taken, and her daughter Lucy Ann McClintock went to live with her grandparents, being in their household when their household was enumerated (although there is only one census day—1 June for 1850—the actual census taking could continue for days, even weeks, in rural areas). Supporting this scenario would be the 1851 land deed (see under Alexander’s father, Francis McClintock), which does not list a wife for Alexander, but mentions wives for the other sons. Lucy McClintock was mentioned in her grandfather’s (James B. Skinner) will, written 17 August 1860.367 I do not know what happened to Lucy Ann McClintock. She was not enumerated with Alexander and second wife, Sarah J. Drake McClintock, in 1860,1870 and 1880. At least two other petitions pertain to Lucy A. McClintock, both in 1865. In one,368 Lucy A. McClintock, a minor over the age of 14, and a devisee of James B. Skinner, petitioned for a guardian. Stiles M. Hodge was appointed guardian. In a second petition,369 Lucy A. McClintock petitioned to sell her one twelfth interest (property devised to her from James B. Skinner, deceased) in 22 acres in Cornplanter Township, including a tavern, several stores, and other buildings, “known as the Plumer Heirs [?].” The same day the property was sold for $8000. James B. Skinner and James S. McCray were sureties. |

McClintock;
born March 1872 in Pennsylvania; married 12 September 1894, in
Franklin, James Nelson Arthurs, born June 1869 in Pennsylvania (son of
William and Margaret Arthurs). see McClintock 1941 reunion photograph, generation 5, web page 4.
At the time of their marriage, James
Arthurs lived on the Rynd Farm.372 Note the 1860 census
for Cherrytree Township373 lists Ida (Iva?) D. McClintock born circa
1859 as a daughter of Alexander and Sarah; she was not listed in the
1870 census, but an Ida D., (must be the above Iva) was reported as
being born circa 1873 in the 1880 census, Cherrytree Township.374
Possibly the Ida (or Iva) D. McClintock born circa 1859 died young, and
Alexander and Sarah named another child Iva. In 1900, the family was
living in Cornplanter Township, Venango County, where James was
enumerated as an oil well pumper (page 9A).
Child known from the 1900 federal census: (a) Warren Arthurs, born June 1894 in Pennsylvania. Warren Arthurs married Frances Dewalt, born circa 1898 in Pennsylvania. In their household in 1930, when Warren was working in an oil refinery in the Oil City area,375 were (all born in Pennsylvania) Ann Dewalt (mother-in-law), born 1867; John Dewalt (brother-in-law), born 1903; Myrtle Dewalt (sister-in-law), born 1908; and Ruth Dewalt (niece), born 1929. Ruth probably was a daughter of John and Myrtle. |
