General Notes: Husband - Hamilton McClintock, Sr.


He came up Oil creek from Cumberland county, PA, and settled on a farm in Cornplanter Township, Venango County, some time about 1795. [HVC 1879, 575]

The McClintocks [apparently refering to Francis and Hamilton, Sr.] were from Lancaster County, PA. [HVC 1890, 91]

He arrived in Cornplanter Township, Venango County, PA, in the spring of 1796. He had removed from Sherman’s valley, Cumberland County, in the autumn of the preceding year and passed the winter at Pittsburgh, whence the journey was continued to Venango County. He secured a tract of four hundred acres in the valley of Oil creek, above the Cornplanter reservation and embracing the site of McClintockville. There was an oil spring on the tract, inclosed by an embankment cribbed with hewed timbers, and from this twenty or thirty barrels of Seneca oil were obtained annually during the summer season. It was sold, principally for medical purposes, at seventy-five cents or one dollar a gallon, and reinforced in a most acceptable manner the slender resources of an Oil creek farm at that date. He was an elder in the Associate Reformed or Seceder church at Plumer many years. He was the first assessor of Sugar Creek township after the organization of the county. [HVC 1890, 647]

He settled in 1795 on the farm on which McClintockville was later located. It was in Oil creek, on this land, where the Seneca oil seepage or spring was found. Nearly all people think the oil seepage was found on a small island in the creek. This is a mistake. It oozed up through the water from a spot near the center of the stream. It was at this place that the Seneca Indians had their annual corn feast and powwow, and wound up the occasion by setting fire to the oil as it floated on the surface of the water. Hamilton McClintock II caught the oil from the spring by placing blankets on the surface of the water. He squeezed the oil from the blankets, bottled and sold it, by peddling it through the country.
