Notities over EARL W. McClintock

1. The Scot-Irish by Bill & Mary During; Clan McClintoc; Barony of Raphoe, Parish of Raphoe Ireland, Protsentent ORIGIN OF McCLINTOCK/McCLINTIC FAMILY
The McCLINTOCK's’s are descendants of the ancient people who occupied western Scotland before the beginning of recorded history. They are believed to be descended from the Dalridians, a branch of the Irish Celtic Tribes who established the Kingdom of Dalrida in the highland region of western Scotland. They were the true Scottish Highlanders and were descended from the early Irish Tribal Kings. King Colla da Crioch, who was banished from Ireland in 327 AD, along with 350 tribal chieftains to the Scottish Highlands was the first known Irish King to settle in the Dalridia territory. The inhabitants of Northern Ireland had crossed over the Irish sea to the northern land throughout history, but had never established a permanent settlement. About the end of the 5th century, a wave of Christian Irish Celts from Scotia, as the Romans called Ireland, established the kingdom of Dalriada on the Kintyre Peninsula which reaches down to within 12 miles of Northern Ireland. The site of this ancient kingdom is in present day Argyllshire, Scotland.( the shire part of the word Argyllshire is the Scottish equivalent of the English word county, and is the root of the word, sheriff). The McClintocks were never officially recognized by the Lord Lyon of Scotland as an established clan. Many of the ancient Irish tribes were not recognized by the Scottish government due to their resentment of the Scottish Kings whom they considered lowlanders. These highlanders called the King “Sassnach” which is a gaelic word for lowlander. The lowland Scots considered the highlanders to be uncivilized gaelic speaking savages.
2. SEAT OF THE McCLINTOCK FAMILY
The earliest seat of the McClintock family seems to have been on Loch Awe in the ancient district of Lorne. Early records indicate they held estates which included a manor house near Loch Awe in present day Argyle County. A branch of the family also held territory directly west of Loch Lomond, in the parish of Old or West Kilpatrick that was known as the Lands of Luss. The Luss territories were held by royal charter after the feudal system was established, by the Earls of Lennox who took their surname Luss from the name of their lands. The Luss family had held this land by the “ right of the sword “ long before recorded history, and after feudalism, by Royal Charter from King Alexander II, at the beginning of the thirteenth century as the Earls of Lennox. The title earl was accorded to relatives of the King or to those who were heirs of former local Kings. It was the highest rank in early Scotland . There were only thirteen earldoms altogether in this country.
The McClintocks became septs of the Clan Colquhoun during the reign of King David Bruce (1329-1370), the son of Robert Bruce. In the year 1368, Sir Robert Colquhoun (pronounced Cohoon) married the “ Fair Maid of Luss” , the heiress and oldest daughter of Godfrey de Luss, Earl of Lennox and chief of the ancient Luss family, and acquired the land that was her inheritance. It was an old Scots custom to call an heiress the maid of her inheritance, hence the term the “Fair Maid of Luss”.
Godfrey de Luss was the sixth descendant, in a direct male line from Maelduin of Lennox who had received the Luss lands from Alwyn the second Earl of Lennox who had received the charter signed by King Alexander II. The Earls of Lennox had held this land for more than seven hundred years prior to 1368. They were a sacred family, Celtic priests and hereditary guardians of the cozier of St. Kessog; the martyr who lived in Glen Luss or on Inchtavannach, the monk’s isle, in Loch Lomond. It is possible that they were also related to the saint himself, as was often the case with hereditary guardians of saintly relics in the old Celtic Church.
The place name “Luss”, given to the lands, is derived from a word meaning the bounds of a sanctuary. King Robert Bruce confirmed by royal charter that all the ground within a “girth” of three miles around the church of Luss ( which still stands today) was a holy place of refuge.
The McClintocks, most probably were related to the Luss family, and had also lived on these lands for centuries. When the “ Fair Maid of Luss” married the Colquhoun Chief in 1368 her tenants became septs of the Clan Colquhoun.
In Scotland, as elsewhere feudalism was imposed by the Crown. The land was now held under contract with the king instead of by tribal custom. The maximum degree of security in the ownership of the land was given by Royal Charter as the King now owned the land. Even after the rise of the feudal system, many inter-clan battles were fought over land. Disputes over territorial boundaries were settled by combat. Some large Clans were even powerful enough to defy the Kings army. The feudal system was never completely enforced in the Scottish Highlands, as the terrain and weather made pure military enforcement impossible. Clans such as the McGregors refused to acknowledge the sheep skin charters of the King. The law of the sword was the only law recognized here until the 18th century.
The feudal rule of primogeniture permitted succession through an heiress as well as an heir to the ownership of land. The” Fair Maid of Luss” passed her lands to the Clan Colquhoun by her marriage to the clan chief who became known thereafter as “Colquhoun of Luss.”
3. THE ORIGIN OF THE McCLINTOCK SURNAME
The surname McClintock is the English conversion of the gaelic name” Mac Giolla Fhionntog “ which means the son of the Ghillie of Saint Finnian. Finnian is also spelled as Fintoc, which means fair-haired. The gaelic word ghillie, means in English, a male attendant or follower which in Irish and Scots gaelic and present day English is usually used to describe gamekeepers. The ghillies were the guides of the hunting and fishing parties who hunted game on the estates of their clan chief. The ghillies also took care of the game, and hunting dogs, which were usually deer hounds. They also protected the game from poachers. The ghillie suits worn by the U. S.Military are camouflage suits adapted from suits worn by these ancient gamekeepers to let them move through the estates unseen from the animals as well as the poachers. The gaelic word “Mac” means the son of. The literal translation of the name is the son of the servant of Saint Finnian. It is possible that the sons of the man who was a follower of Saint Finnian, either in a religious sense or actual capacity as a gamekeeper or other servant were the first to be called by the name, Mac Giolla Fhionntog. As there are no written records to establish the people who served Saint Finnian. It will never be known whether the original progenitor of the McClintocks lived during the same time as the Saint himself or was identified with him because he was a religious figure. The Celtic name Gilchrist (Ghillie of Christ) is the follower or servant of Christ. The first person to assume this celtic name would not have lived in the same time as Christ, but may have followed Christian teachings . The use of religious figures in surnames was common in early Ireland and Scotland when the use of surnames became necessary.
4. SAINT FINNIAN
Saint Finnian, according to legend, was born at Myshall, Carlow, Ireland, about 470. He spent several years in Wales at monasteries under Saint Cadoc who died in 575 and Saint Gildas, c. 500 - c. 570, of whom he was a disciple. He became a monk in Wales, returned to Ireland and founded several monasteries.The most noted one was at Clonard in the Ancient province of Royal Meath, now County Meath, which became a great center for learning, especially for study of the Bible.
At Clonard a novice could learn to read and write Latin, using a stylus on a wax tablet. In this manner the Irish for the first time had an alphabet. Before this, the only written records in Ireland were written in the Ogam script, a clumsy code of long and short lines cut across the edges of stone slabs, mainly for funeral inscriptions. Ogam was limited it was otherwise useless. Finnian was called a bishop in Ireland, although it is doubtful that he was ever consecrated. He is referred to as the “Teacher of Irish Saints”.
Nearly all the monastic founders in sixth century Ireland belonged to the aristocratic class of society. The monastery was an estate with a religious purpose, a self supporting farm, a kind of village. Finnian’s school at Clonard emphasized study and scholarship to a group of followers known as the Twelve Apostles of Ireland. Two of these apostles were St.Ciaran and St.Columba (also known as St. Clomille) who was to bring Christianity to Scotland from his monastery on the Isle of Iona. Columba founded his monastery at Iona in 563 and labored here for thirty years as an evangelist of the Celtic Catholic Church. Saint Finnian died of the yellow plague which swept Ireland in 549. His feastday is celebrated on December 12.
Near the resort of Waterville in County Kerry, Ireland, lies the beautiful lake known as Lough Currane. Church Island, in the northern end of this lake contains the ruins of the Oratory of St. Finnian, dating from the sixth century.
Monasticism and scholarship were the hallmarks of the Irish Catholic Church. The Irish monks developed a written Irish language,and exquisite illuminated manuscripts, the most famous is the Book of Kells, which is now on display at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. The seafaring Vikings plundered the monasteries through out the ninth and tenth centuries. Not until 1014, at the Battle of Clontarf did the Irish, let by their High King Brian Boru, break the power of the Vikings.
THE AGE OF THE McCLINTOCK SURNAME
No one knows when the present McClintock surname was first spoken or written. It is as old as the fifteenth century as it appeared in the Dean of Lismore’s book described later. As the name was a gaelic surname its English equivalent “Lindsay” was used when writing or speaking English as early as 1611 according to George Black’s book “The Surnames of Scotland”. This practice was discontinued sometime before the sixteenth century and Lindsay was converted to McClintock as the English equivalent of the old gaelic surname. The use of Lindsay had the effect of making the McClintock name less common than it would have been. The Lindsays occupied another part of Scotland and there is no reason to believe that there is any blood connection between them and the McClintocks. Professor Black’s (he was a professor at New York University) book contains the following poem by Ailean Dall to the Lochaber Volunteers in 1795 referring to a warrior from Glenara in Scotland written in Gaelic:
“Clamar theid na h-uaislean cruinn
Gun Lindsay ‘bhith san airmh
Ga’n ainm Cailean MacIlliuntaig
Le thionndadh an Gaidhlig”
This is the English translation:
How will the warrior chieftains gather,
without Lindsay to be in their number?
By whom was known in Gaelic as Colin MacClintock.

5. The McClintock name occurs in a variety of English forms in the 16th and 17th centuries. It appears in the Church records of Kenmore, Aberfeldy, Scotland as M’Ilandick, M’Illandag, M’Illandick, M’Lentick, in 1757. Duncan McGellentak was a witness in Balquhidder in 1549. John Macilluntud was a priest of the diocese of Whiteherne.in 1394. William McClintoun was a messenger in Kyle in 1569, and Finlay MacKlintoun appears in the parish of Torphichen in 1676. The last of the Breadalbane smugglers was James Meillandaig. MaClinton is a variant of McClintock and can be found in the current telephone directory of Northern Ireland along with McClintock. These are the only spellings listed in Northern Ireland today, 1998.
Until the seventeenth century the majority of Scots used a patronymic ( son of) as a by name for all members of a family who claimed descent from a common ancestor when they felt the need of a surname. Many people had no surname at all in ancient Scotland. A person was usually know as Red Hector, or as Hector, son of John, son of Ewen. As the population grew surnames were used to identify members of the same family. This name was often a patronymic, which led to the patronymic type of surname (son of) becoming widely used among the Scots and Irish who were the descendants of the gaelic speaking Celts. The present day English equivalents of these old gaelic surnames begin with Mac,or Mc to continue the patronymic type of name.
The McClintock surname was first written in Gaelic, the language of the Celts. The Celtic language was dominant in Europe from about 2,000 BC until 500 BC, which makes it one of the oldest written languages. The Greeks described these people who lived north of the Alps Mountains as afraid of nothing but the sky falling. They had a keen interest in learning and were a people of great ability. They were always ready for battle , but were no match for the Roman Legions of Julius Caeser’s army, who were highly controlled and organized. The Celts were divided into three main tribes as can be found from reading “Julius Ceaser’s Galeic Wars”. This loose divison into tribes with no central authority led to their downfall. The Celts did manage to burn and sack Rome during the war but were finally defeated by the Romans. After their defeat in Europe many of the Celts retreated to Brittany in France,and Galecia in Northwest Spain.
A large number of them went to the end of the known world which was the emerald green lsland of Ireland and the British Isles. During the four centuries of Roman occupation of Great Britain tribes know as the Picts, though to be relatives of the Celts, harrassed the Romans with terrorist raids from the Scottish Highlands. The Celts were one of the first people to use terrorist raids in warfare. The Roman Emperor Hadrian built a great wall to keep them from raiding his armies. Remnants of this wall can still be seen today. Gaelic was written long before the English Language was commonly used(about the 10th century). Latin and Gaelic was the language of the British people before English , the language of the Angles, was adopted. The earliest written record of the McClintock surname is in the “Book of the Dean of Lismore” written in Gaelic and compiled by James and Duncan MacGregor. James MacGregor was the Dean of Lismore. Dean was a title for a head over ten monks in a monastery. James MacGregor labored at the Monastery of Lismore in Scotland for many years. He was born about 1480 and died in 1551. He was also the Vicar of Fortingall. Fortingall was the parish of the church and the vicar is a priest who receives a salary from the church instead of the tithes of a parish.
