McClintock Extra

The following are notes for as yet unidentified branches or members of the family.

 

John McClintock was born about 1816 and joined the Royal Irish Constabulary in 1837. His police records show that he was born in County Donegal but gives no more information as to where. His father was probably James McClintock. He married Maria Manson on 18 Nov 1851 in Seapatrick, County Down. She was born in County Antrim where John served as a policeman before being transferred to the Seapatrick area. He is thought to have died in 1865 in Banbridge, County Down. This information came from his great-grandson, Iain Wittwer in 2023 ( iain.wittwer@btinternet.com)

 

Mrs. Jean McClintock [was the] daughter of the man who made her speed possible. Still hale and hearty at 72, Mrs. McClintock has very clear memories of the first experiments of her father, John Boyd Dunlop, in pneumatic tyres. His only tool was a pair of scissors, and he made the first pneumatic tyre from ordinary sheet rubber and canvas. His bedroom was his workshop and Mrs. McClintock and her brother were the only two allowed to watch him. He fitted his new tyre on to a bicycle for his daughter, and so gave her the distinction of being the first woman to ride on air-filled tyres. Those were the days, she recalled. when people rushed out of their houses to see a woman on a bicycle. Mrs. McClintock, who now lives at Eastbourne and is married to doctor, cycled regularly until she was 60. [Nottingham Journal, 12 March 1953]

 

Jane Willis McClintock was married to Dr Hugh Thomas Shaw McClintock (1886-1963), son of William James McClintock (1849-1932) and his wife Ann, née Shaw. Hugh and Jean lived at Leggetsrath West, County Kilkenny, at the time of the in 1901 and 1911 census. He died on 17 September 1963, in Taney, County Dublin, at the age of 77. – see Dunlop will at https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16015355

The Belfast News-Letter, 22 December 1772 –

To the PRINTERS of the BELFAST NEWS-LETTER. 

I desire you will insert and continue three times in your Paper, the inclosed Letter, which I received from South Carolina.

Yours, JAMES M’VICKAR.      Larne, 21st Dec. 1772.

P. S. My Friend in Charlestown advises me, that they have a great Crop of Rice, but want Ships to carry it to Market.

 

To Mr. JAMES M’VICKAR, Merchant in Larne.

SIR, Charles-Town, Oct. 21, 1772.

THESE will inform you, that we arrived here all well and in good spirits the 18th instant (five Children excepted who died on the Passage) after a pleasant and agreeable Passage of seven weeks and one day. Pleasant with respect to Weather, and agreeable with regard to the Concord and Harmony that subsisted among us all;

And, to confirm what we have heard you assert before we left Ireland, we must say, that we had more than a sufficiency of all kinds of Provision, and good in their kind;

And to speak of Captain Workman, as he justly deserves, we must say with the greatest Truth, (and likewise with the greatest Thanks and Gratitude to him) that he treated us all with the greatest Tenderness and Humanity ; and seemed even desirous of obliging any one, whom it might be in his Power to serve. If you think proper, we would be desirous you should cause these Things to be inserted in the public News-Letter, being sensible they will afford our Friends and Acquaintances great Satisfaction ; and we hope they may be of some Use to you and Captain Workman, if you resolve to trade any more in the Passenger Way. Now, in Confirmation of these Things, we subscribe ourselves as follows:

We are, Sir, your Most humble Servants,

Revd. Robt. Mc. Clintock, John Dicky, James Stinson, James Hood, Wm. Anderson, John Peddan, John Montgomery, John Thompson, Joseph Lowry, John Snody, Hugh Loggan, Timothy Mc. Clintock, John Caldwell, Peter Willey, Nathan Brown, Robt. Hadden, David Thompson, Samuel Kerr, Wm. Boyd, Hugh Manford, James Peddan, Robt. Machesney, Robt. Wilson, Alex. Brown, Wm. Eashler, Robt. Ross, John Brown, Charles Miller, John Parker, Thomas Madill, John Rickey, James Young, Wm. Simpson, Charles Dunlop, Robt. Neile, John Mc. Clintock, Thos. Makee

P. S. We had Sermon every Sabbath, which was great Satisfaction to us. We omitted to let you know, that the Mate, Mr. Bole, as also the common Hands, behaved with great Care and Benevolence towards us.

It would be nice to find a match up for the Rev. Samuel McClintock (1732-1804), a Congregational clergyman from Medford, Massachusetts, who was one of 19 children born to a William McClintock who emigrated from Scotland to Ireland, where he lived through the Siege of Derry, and onwards to America. See here for more. The Ulster American Folk Park near Omagh includes a clergyman called McClintock.
