MCCLINTOCK.
1 WILLIAM MCCLINTOCK, b. 1730, m. Margaret, dau. of William Fuller- ton, 1773, who was b. in 1741. He lived in Bris. when married. There are two traditions regarding his ancestry: one, that he was the son of Samuel McClintock and came to America with his parents when a mere infant; the other, that he was son of William McClintock, who came to Medford, Mass., from Ireland in 1718. In both cases the ancestry is said to be Scotch-Irish from the north of Ireland. William and Samuel have both been family names in our records, and undoubtedly he was as a child, with his parents, in Bris. It is not unlikely that the immigrant, William, had a son Samuel, who was father of William of Bris., and coming there at an early age from Mass. gave rise to that part of the story. There would be no inconsistency as to dates in this view. He died June 3, 1779. His wid. m. (2) Deacon William Burns. She died Apr. 17, 1822. Children:

They had a fam. of seven chil. His son, William, Jr., succeeded on the homestead, dying there in 1899, a. 80. The homestead is now owned by Robert A. Sproul, who married an adopted daughter.

George L. McClin- tock is son of the last marriage. Capt. Len Mcclintock, as he was familiarly called, was an expert and successful seaman, and noted for his daring qualities wherever he was known, and his acquaintance was large in many of the Atlantic ports. His adventures were many, but perhaps the most sensational, the one which drew comment from many of our leading newspapers, occurred at Ponce, Porto Rico, Nov. 27, 1876 Capt. McClintock had entered that port a few days before with a general cargo. His manifest contained an error in weight but not in number of pieces, so that it was immaterial, though technical He was hurried before a magistrate by the Spanish authorities, ravenous for their plunder, for they received one-half of the fines imposed. The vessel was fined $4,000, but was left in charge of the Captain and his crew. A gunboat, with fires banked, lay at the mouth of the harbor on guard. Capt. McClintock begged time before confiscation to confer with the American owners, though he was, unknown to his persecutors, a principal owner. Meantime he sounded out a passage through a dangerous reef that bounded one side of the harbor, always deemed impassable. He did this, unobserved, from a dory. Much of the time he was lying there he spent on shore, playing billiards and otherwise

sporting with the officials, entirely indifferent in appearance to his con- dition. He became very popular with them. Every night his crew threw up the anchor one pawl of the capstan, heaving the anchor short without suspicion. Finally a suitable breeze sprang up. The Captain was ashore with the officials, calm as a rock, while they were excited over the betting at the gaine. He had earlier in the day obtained per- mission to spread his sails to dry them. Suddenly, at 11.30 A. M., he left his companions ashore, went aboard, weighed anchor, spread every yard of canvas and sailed straight for the reef. The officials, both ashore and on the gunboat, were dumb with surprise, for they saw only a wreck ahead for him; but he went through where he had sounded without a scratch and it gave him four miles lead of the war vessel, for they had to round the reef, besides it took time to get their fires going. He passed directly under the guns of the fort, but on account of other shipping lying in range not a shot was fired. Before nightfall he was out of their sight. They guarded the Mona passage for some time without result, for he sailed to the south of San Domingo, exactly oppo- site to the calculations of his pursuers. In due time he reached N. Y., took out new papers, and changed the name of his schooner, the Bara- coa, to that of Eunice McKown, named for the daughter of one of the owners. Capt Cyrus Mckown. The two men in his crew upon whom he mostly relied in this dangerous exploit were Benjamin Kenney and John P. Perkins, both of Boothbay Harbor. His home was corner of Townsend Ave. and McClintock St. He died Jan 27, 1890.

He was one of the most broadly known men who has lived in the town and is still vividly remembered by the old fishermen along the Maine coast. Col.

HISTORY OF BOOTHBAY.
McCOBB.
1 SAMUEL McCOBB founded the family of that name in B. He was the leader of the Scotch-Irish settlers to Townsend, under Col. Dunbar. All old records refer to him as such, yet he held no sub-grant of territory, but in this respect fared as the others did. His deposition is, in its concise wording, a history in itself of the settlement here and has been quoted from oftener than any other document extant relating to this locality. His family in both male and female descent has been one of sterling worth to the community, many of whom have lived long and valuable lives on Boothbay soil. Born in Ire- land in 1707, he came as a young man of 23 years, the trusted lieutenant of Col. Dunbar in managing the planting of the Townsend colony. He m. abt. 1738-39 and the Christian name of his wife was Mary. Farther we are unin- formed, but she was probably of some of the Townsend or Pemaquid fami- lies. They set. where the Weymouth House stands and their house, which first was a log one, was followed by a framed structure, called the "long house," and ran abt. parallel with the southerly end of that building. A slight depression in the soil still shows the spot. He died Feb. 8, 1791; she died Dec. 25, 1801, a. 81. Children:

Second Generation.
(*2) WILLIAM2 McCOBB (Samuel1). He left no family record upon the town books and search has failed to find a private one. No publishment appears, but he probably married before town incorporation. His wife's name was Rachel and her gravestone shows her to have been born in 1732, or eight years his senior. Whoever reads the history of our locality from 1760 to 1815 will learn how prominent a citizen he was, and Chap. XVI will show the positions of trust bestowed upon him by his townsmen. No man has lived in B. who has held so many and varied positions as he. He died Nov. 29, 1815; she died Jan. 11, 1816. They lived where his father set. They had but one child, Betsey, b. 1764, m.

FAMILY HISTORY.

He was living on "Harbour Island " in 1818, which is the island south of McFarland's Pt. With the loss of his son that year the male line in this branch became extinct. Dates of death of the parents have not been found. Children: I, William, d. Apr. 4, 1818, unm .; II, Susan, m. Samuel Clifford, Edge .; III, Mary, m. William Bragg, 1812; IV, Margaret, m.
