JOSEPH McCLINTOCK, a farmer of Coon Valley township, Sac county, was born in
Pittsburg, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, May 13, 1825, a son of Andrew
McClintock, who was born on the same farm as his son. His father, Joseph
McClintock, was a native of Dublin, Ireland, and lived to the advanced age of
103 years. The mother of our subject, nee Jane Eckles, was also born in
Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, a daughter of Andrew Eckles, a native of New
England. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew McClintock were the parents of seven children,
viz.: Mary, James Harvey, Joseph, Ann J., Rebeckey, Margaret and Catherine. The
mother died in Iowa, aged sixty-five years, and the father died in Butler
county, this State, at the age of seventy years. He was a farmer by occupation,
a Democrat in his political views, and religiously, a member of the Methodist
Church. Joseph, the subject of this sketch, was reared and educated in his
native State. At the age of twenty-five years he came West to Iowa, locating
near Cascade, Dubuque county, where he bought and improved a farm. In 1867 he
engaged in the same occupation three and a half miles northwest of Storm Lake,
in Buena Vista county, but seven years afterward sold that place and bought
eighty acres of land in Coon Valley township, Sac county. Mr. McClintock's farm
is now under a fine state of cultivation, with a good, two-story residence,
16x24 feet, and an L, 14x26 feet. 

  He was married September 17, 1851, to Miss Mary Mann, a native of Broome
county, New York, and a daughter of James and Ann (Ackley) Mann, the former a
native of Scotland, and the latter of Long Island, New York. The parents reared
a family of eight children, three sons and five daughters. One son, Theodore, a
resident of this township, took an active part in the late war. The mother died
at the age of forty-two years, and the father aged seventy-six years. He was a
farmer by occupation, and a Republican in his political views. Mr. and Mrs.
McClintock have had nine children: John, Augustin, Jane Ann, Joseph, Theodora,
Sarah, Mary, Frank and James Harvey. Our subject takes an active interest in
politics, his first presidential vote having been cast for James K. Polk. He has
witnessed a great change in the county, and is interested in everything for its
good. Mrs. McClintock is a member of the Methodist Church.
