Samuel McClintock BORN: ca.
1728 FATHER:
Unknown |
| Samuel, our
Patriarch and Revolutionary War Vet was a private in Captain Paul Raulston's Militia
Company, in the Western District of Brandywine Hundred in New Castle County, Delaware as
of March 7, 1778 being 50 years of age and upwards. His convictions must have been
strong to have gone into a revolution at such an age. Two of Samuel's sons, Thomas
and William were also in the Revolution with him. The family lore that was passed down is that after George Washington's defeat at Brandywine our Samuel showed George the safest route through the forest due to his familiarity with it. Samuel was a cooper and used the wood from that forest for his barrel staves. In 1760 Samuel bought 320 acres
of farm land in the Brandywine Hundred area of Delaware. This land today belongs to
the Duponts. Click HERE to go to a Delaware map
