JAMES McCLINTOCK, farmer, post office McKeesport, son of John and Margaret McClintock, was born in Ireland in 1817. His parents came to America, and located in Allegheny City in 1822, at which time there was but one store and one hotel there. The first work of John McClintock was quarrying stone for the penitentiary. Later he bought a farm in Pine township, where he and his wife moved and engaged in farming. There they lived and died, his death occurring in 1872 and hers in 1886. Their children were Andrew, James, Margaret, Elizabeth, Aaron, George, Catherine and John (deceased). James McClintock was reared and educated in the common schools of the county, and in 1844 married Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. McConnell, of Bakerstown. They located on a farm in Pine, now Richland, township, remaining until 1864, when he purchased the very desirable farm he now owns in Versailles township. Their children were Andrew M., Elizabeth (deceased), Margaret, Catherine, Anna, Druscilla and Mary.
