Francis Lee McClintock Jr. of Indiana & ArizonaUpdated June 28, 2009 |
Greetings fellow researchers!, Thanks to much help from family members, Sue Emly Green, Steve McClintock, Angela Fergus, Delores (Dodie) Baker, Lynda Griffiths, Tana King, and others we've not yet had the pleasure of meeting, we’re able to refine this page. The predecessors of the Reddington, Indiana McClinticks and McClintocks were three teen age brothers, John Sr., Samuel and Adam who, according to many reliable old family memories, came from Ireland circa 1760 without any adults. We have not seen nor do we have any proof of exactly how they traveled, when or where they arrived, where they came from or who their parents were. We’d appreciate receiving tangible proof of such specifics rather than information that cannot be verified. The three McClintick brothers moved to Kentucky,and were living in Beargrass Twp., Jefferson County, Kentucky sometime prior to 1784. We haven't yet learned why some of our families went by the names MacClintock, McClintick, and McClintock, so we're open to any info that can shed light on that. Our paternal grandfather John Hamilton McClintock and some older folks in Reddington, Indiana told us that at one time most residents of Reddington were McClinticks and 'tocks and that the name differences were due to family arguments. We hope that there was a better reason. Anyway, Samuel, one of the three brothers, married Rebecca Thompson in 1785. They first resided in Kentucky, then later in Clark County, Indiana. In 1797 Samuel and Rebecca had a son, James S. McClintick, who married Hannah Schindler. In 1844 James and Hannah had a son, Benjamin J. McClintick, who became a horse trader traversing between southern Indiana and Kentucky. He married Mary Diggs, a daughter of Benjamin Diggs who lived in and is buried in Reddington, Indiana. Benjamin Mc Clintick and Mary settled in Reddington and in 1879 had a son, John Hamilton McClintock, our paternal grandfather, the oldest McClintock that we personally knew. We called him 'little grandpa'. He's buried along with a his father Benjamin J. and several other McClinticks and 'tocks in the Reddington,Indiana Christian Church Cemetery. The preacher of that Church across from the graveyard allowed us to see and hand copy information from church birth, marriage and death records in the mid 1980s. Samuel and Rebecca had another son, John "Irish" McClintick Sr. who married Elizabeth Bowers Brothers. “Irish” and Elizabeth had a son, John "Jake" McClintock Jr., who became Postmaster and a Grocer in Reddington. We were able to determine that brother Adam died at age 24 in a river boat accident, so most of the information we have and will gladly share is about brothers John and Samuel. The Emly and Sylvester families married into our family and visa versa. If anyone who reads this has any additional, or more accurate, information, we'll appreciate and use it. Also, if you need any of what we have we'll gladly share. We do have a number of McClintock gravestone photos and a few old family photos that have been digitalized. We believe that it is important to add that we've heard and read stories questioning the 'three brothers' stories, but we have adequate information, including an article in Baird's History of Clark Co., published in 1909, on pp. 670-671, plus reliable 'in person' recollections by many older family members that lead us to believe that, at least regarding our close family, the 'three brothers' account is true.
