He married Rachel Ann Thrush in 1847, and they have been the parents of eight children, five of them living and one married. His father entered 160 acres, being the place on which Joseph still resides. He is an Episcopal Methodist and a Republican, having been in former times a Whig. His father was a soldier in the war of 1812. The family of John McClintock, father of Joseph, consisted of himself and his two unmarried children, and his son-in-law, Watson Briggs, as also his daughter, Mary Ellen Briggs. He was a widower, his first wife having died in Ohio; he married a second wife in 1848, and she is living now. Mr. McClintock, the elder, died in 1863, at the age of seventy-three years, having been born in 1790. Joseph L. Thrush, the father of Mrs. McClintock, came from Richland County, Ohio, arriving about a week after Mr. McClintock did. His family were himself and wife and five children, one of them being a half-grown lass, the future wife of Mr. joseph McClintock. They made the trip in a Yankee covered wagon, drawn by three horses, having traveled the longer and more tedious journey from Pennsylvania to Richland County, Ohio, years before, when the country was far more wild and unsettled, in a three-horse Pennsylvania Conestoga wagon. Mr. Thrush settled on the Marion * Lagro Road, called the Boundary Road, because it was laid on the eastern boundary of the Big Miami Indian Reservation, which the whites, with their accustomed greediness and disregard of the rights of the weaker party, located wholly upon the Indian land. Some of them have received a sort of reward for the greediness of their predecessors in the fact that the lands on the west side of the boundary are less in extent by half the width of the road. Mr. Thrush died in 1877, at the age of eighty-one, having been born in 1796. At the time of his settlement, there were already residing amidst the forest shades a considerable number who had made themselves pioneers in the wondrous work of changing the desolate waste into the "garden of the Lord." Among these may be mentioned Abner Dillon, one-fourth mile north, who had been there perhaps two or three years; Barnabas Van Ness, one-half mile west; James Smith, who lived East and came in 1839; James Grant, one and a half miles south, who had been there several years; William T. Ross, who came in 1835; Richard and John Duffton and their father, James Duffton, who came there in 1840, and was drowned, say eighteen months later in the Wabash River, in March, 1842; Philip Goodlander, several miles east of Mr. Thrush's. At that time the people went to mill at English's mill at Lagro. No schoolhouse had them been heard of,. The first schoolhouse was two miles east of Mr. Thrush's, near Washington Dale's, about 1843, and Mr. Dale himself taught the first school there. Her brother boarded at Mr. Dale's and attended school two winters. The first school in the neighborhood of Mr. Thrush's residence was about 1851, near Mr. McDaniel's. Mrs. McClintock had been at school in Ohio, and she attended only three weeks in Indiana, going to George Moody as her teacher in Grant County, on Josina Creek, in somebody's old log cabin that had been fixed up for a schoolhouse when she first came there. Her folks resided in that neighborhood from October till the next harvest. "When we first got to Grant County," says Mrs. McClintock, "we children lay in a tent under blankets,while father and mother slept in the wagon. It rained hard nearly all night, but before morning the rain turned to snow. As we were moving, by taking the wrong road the wagon went into a mud-hole nearly to the axle. A man who happened to live near came with a horse and helped the wagon out, but in a few rods it got in worse than before, and the goods had to be unloaded, and the family were obliged to camp down and stay all night there. "The first preaching was by the Disciples, north of LaFontaine, in an old schoolhouse, which, however, was before we came. The first preacher that I heard was Elder John L. Stone, and he lives in Liberty Township now where he lived then. Henry McPherson also held meetings there in that early day." "Father bought his place second-hand, and there was a little cabin that we could occupy when we first came, that was some (though not very much) better than staying out in the open air. It would keep the rain off and the cold out somewhat, and we had all the woods on the farm to get fuel from to keep a big blazing fire with, to warm us by in the winter."
