Tag: Tippling

This is Chapter Six of seven. In this chapter, our ancestors who have been in New Hampshire since it was a Province and part of British North America, made the major decision to move Westward. They packed their belongings and left New Hampshire and headed to New York State.

The Censuses of 1800 through 1830 and Their Differences

These censuses are the second, third, fourth, and fifth that the United States had completed. Each year the government was learning a little more about what data it needed to know in able to run the country, and also some new questions to ask. Unfortunately, when we analyze these forms today, we still see many tic marks, but not much detail.

For the 1800 census, James McClintock was unmarried. We do not know with whom he was living in 1800. We are sure in was in Hillsborough, New Hampshire.

The 1810 Census in New Hampshire
Then in 1810, we first encounter the James McClintock family when he and his wife Hephzibah (Jones) McClintock were married and had children living in their home. They were still residing in Hillsborough, New Hampshire where both of them had grown up.

The 1820 Census In New York
By 1820, they have more children and have left New Hampshire behind them. They are now living in the town of Phelps, Ontario County, New York. The reasons that they left New Hampshire are unknown, but there was a large westward migration already occurring in this era. Perhaps they were seeking additional farmland because arable land meant prosperity to farmers. James’s brother Samuel either came with them, or he was already in New York State, which may be one reason why they moved there — there was a family connection.

The 1830 Census In New York
It appears that the family has moved locally from the town of Phelps in Ontario County, to the town of Arcadia, just slightly north in the new (April 1823) Wayne County. This is the first Federal census we see where there is an actual printed form for the census taker to utilize for consistency. Prior to this, many census takers just made up their own forms trying to adhere to guidelines they were given.

We also know that by this time, James’s brother Samuel had left New York state and moved further west to the Ohio Country, where he was paying property taxes as early as 1831 in what is now Solon, Ohio. We already had members of other family lines living in this area, but we believe that it’s plausible that he was the first member of the McClintock branch of our family to arrive there. We also understand that he was quite the drinker… (2)

Let’s Pause A Moment for Some Refreshment, Shall We?

As we learned from the census, for a portion of the 1820s and at the beginning of the 1830s, the James McClintock Sr. family lived in New York State. We came across an interesting account of what it was like to live in Arcadia, New York during this period —

“Up to 1830 the state of temperance was bad enough. Within a distance of three miles along Mud creek there were four distilleries, operated by Harrison, Luce, Sherman, and Mansfield. Whisky was sold as low as twenty-five cents a gallon, and was drank on all occasions. Whether at general training, Fourth of July, logging-bee, raising, or harvesting, the liquor was freely used. It stood upon the sideboard to treat the casual visitor and teacher, doctor, and preacher were alike accustomed to potations from the cup. Ladies met to help along a quilting, and the “sling” imbibed made conversation spirited. If any failed to provide this stimulus it was made a subject of sharp comment. As years went by, a feeling prevailed that this system should be broken up. A preacher found intoxicated was dismissed, and in the county medical society a member accustomed to using liquors to excess was expelled. Still, tippling was common in taverns and in groceries.”

Some of our ancestors were Pilgrims, some were Quakers, some were Presbyterians, some were Catholics — and some were, …non-conformers.

“For the colonists of the 1600s and 1700s much of daily life was filled by tiring drudgery, but throughout the long hours of the work day, beer, cider, rum, and other intoxicating beverages provided a dependable source of comfort. Each day was supplemented by a generous allotment of alcoholic beverages imbibed from their waking hours all the way through the late evening. As author Corin Hirsch states in Forgotten Drinks of Colonial New England, “From breakfast cider to afternoon beer to evening flips, toddies and glasses of Canary wine, alcohol lubricated almost every hour of every day.” Drinking accompanied a diverse range of occasions that often took place in taverns, or during meals, work breaks, business meetings, weddings, funerals, trials, and legislative sessions. Daily, day-long “tippling” was simply a fact of life in the colonial period.

While this behavior may be frowned upon in the modern era, colonials viewed the constant intake of liquor as a necessary and beneficial practice. Despite a lack of scientific understanding, the early settlers of North America knew that drinking from certain water sources could make a person deathly ill. Without proper sanitation practices or a way of discerning contaminated water from clean, they largely avoided it, instead seeking hydration from beverages unintentionally sanitized through the processes of fermentation and distillation. Alcohol was not only potable, but also was seen as a healthy, invigorating substance, which was even used in the treatment of disease. While the relatively staid puritan communities of New England such as Windsor admonished drunkenness, they hailed alcohol as the “good creature of God”. (Windsor Historical Society)

Observation: James McClintock Sr.’s 2x Great Grandfather Thomas Mclintoch of Glasgow had been a “Maltman” (a brewer), and his Grandfather William McClintock was fond of his homemade “rhum”…so, it seems like “tippling” probably ran through the veins of the McClintock family. Despite this, Freeman McClintock maintains in his biographical profile that his “parents instilled into the minds of their children principles of morality and religion.” Perhaps his uncle Samuel never got that family message.

It’s compelling to ponder ‘about how many’ of our ancestors were likely tipplers, and how over the decades, this behavior paved the way for future temperance movements. (3)

And Back to The Census…

The 1840 Census in Ohio
After decades of censuses in other locations, the McClintock family has immigrated in en masse to the Western Reserve of Ohio. We’ve been able to determine through tax records (starting in 1833) that along with James and his wife, most of their adult children also relocated to this area of northeast Ohio.

The census above is for the father James McClintock, Sr. who was living in Bainbridge township at the time of the census. On another 1840 census his son James Jr. and other siblings lived in Solon township. (4)

The Western Reserve of Ohio

In the early part of the 18th century, the Ohio Country was frequently referred to as the West, and from the perspective of New Englanders who settled it, it was indeed pioneer country. By the 1830s and 40s, the Western Reserve wasn’t thought of as a frontier anymore, but actually, it still was in many ways.

The Western Reserve area of northeastern Ohio, was originally established as The Firelands of Ohio, created by the Connecticut legislature in 1792 to help compensate her citizens for their losses when some of the towns were ravaged during the Revolutionary War. Connecticut had a history of belief that her manifest destiny was the inherent right of their northern and southern borders to extend from New England all the way to the Pacific Coast. This area was chartered and land sales were managed by the Connecticut Land Grant Company. The company eventually failed, and Connecticut yielded on their idea of manifest destiny, but the Western Reserve endured. Ohio became a state in 1803.

For all of our many ancestors from here, we believe that this is very true — “Following the Revolutionary War, for the next 25 years, Ohio became the primary destination of westward bound pioneers because of the fertile farmland in the Ohio River Valley. Some families stayed for the remainder of their lives.” (Family Search) For the James McClintock Sr. family, when his children were seeking prosperity for their own future families, owning land in Ohio beckoned. (5)

The Settling of Solon Township, Ohio

Wikipedia informs us that, “In 1820, the first settlers arrived from Connecticut… The township was named after Lorenzo Solon Bull, who was the son of Isaac Bull, one of the first settlers. Purportedly, the selection of young Lorenzo’s middle name was due to its derivation from the “father of democracy”, Solon, the lawmaker of Ancient Greece. The early settlers faced challenges common to pioneers, but in Solon, drainage and wetlands issues complicated settlement and agriculture. Overcoming these obstacles, Solon Township became an arable farming area, producing corn and wheat crops and supporting dairy farms…”

The vast majority of the McClintocks were farmers, with the notable exception of two people, the siblings: Dr. Freeman McClintock, and William McClintock. Although Freeman farmed in Solon, Ohio for a few years, he eventually gave it up and went on to do many remarkable things throughout North America. “The first man who built a house at the Center [of Solon Township] was Freeman McClintock, who located there in 1832 or ’33. He resided there in his log cabin two or three years before any joined him.”

We find this historical anecdote to be interesting, but not completely accurate. We know that his uncle Samuel was already living there. Freeman’s wife Lydia came with him, and his parents arrived in October 1833. Many of his siblings were also leaving New York on the canal boats, schooners, and wagons headed his way. We determined these things based upon his biography and the county tax records. (See footnotes).

William McClintock preferred the legal profession. He was a lawyer, having been admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1849. Eventually he moved his family west to Iowa and became the founder and publisher of a newspaper. (Both brothers have interesting biographical links in the footnotes). (6)

“..Nothing Can be Said to be Certain, Except Death and Taxes…”

We know that the McClintocks had arrived in Ohio by 1831, because there are property tax records in Cuyahoga County which support this. When we analyzed the years 1833 through 1844, we saw some interesting patterns. It appears that in most years, James Sr. either owned most of the land, or was paying most of the taxes for some reason. For example in 1836, James Sr., was paying everyone’s property tax even though some of that land belonged to some of his children. (Gee, thanks dad!)

James Sr. died in September 1845, but the exact date was not recorded.

Later in that same month, there are record documents from a future court case, which state that — “James Jr., sold the real estate to Dexter McClintock [our ancestor] for $1,125 on September 25, 1845” and that “James Jr. died in 1849[*] and there was considerable dispute among his heirs and the heirs of James Sr., as to the ownership of the property.”
*Correction: James Jr.’s correct death date is recorded as January 1, 1854. He died of typhoid fever, leaving behind a wife and several small children: wife Betsey, and children, Orvil, Antionette, Seth, Edith, and James. (7)

We will be covering this court case in the next chapter, The McClintock Line, A Narrative — Seven). The case involves land, alcoholism, temperance societies, gold, and lots of ruffled feathers.
