Henry McClintock's Diaries
Henry McClintock, the diarist, was the youngest son of John McClintock of Drumcar, Co. Louth (d.1799), and is the great-grandfather of the Mr McClintock who now lives at Redhall. His diary is of interest mainly because of th e meticulous record it gives of the life-style of a fairly humble member of the Ascendancy during the first half of the 19th century. The diary is particularly informative about Dundalk and Co. Louth, where McClintock lived and worked for most of his life. He carefully records the names of everyone whom he met, and usually gives details of their relationship to each other and to others mentioned elsewhere in his diary. Each day he gives information about meteorological conditions, and on the frequent occasions when illness strikes his wife, one of his twelve children or himself, he details the medical treatments which were applied. During the 1820s and early 1830s, when his brother-in-law, Matthew Fortescue of Stephenstown, Dundalk, and his elder brother, John McClintock Junior of Drumcar, were active as (unsuccessful) candidates in Co. Louth elections, the diary is full of political as well as social, meteorological and medical, comment.
The contents of the first volume, covering the period 1805-11, have been described in some detail by Rev. Precentor W. H. Love in 'Georgian Society in Louth', Journal of the Co. Louth Archaeological and Historical Society, Vol. XVII, No. 3 (1971), pp. 184-186. This article, which begins with a description of the near-contemporary diary kept by McClintock's sister, Marianne Fortescue of Stephenstown, Co. Louth, continues: '... It was during this period at the opening of the nineteenth century that Marianne's brother, Henry, begins his diary on the 19 October 1805, the day he joined the 3rd Prince of Wales's Regiment ofDragoon Guards as a cornet, having been gazetted in April, and on the 19 July finds himself stationed in Limerick in lodgings near the barracks. On the 25th he sets out with a servant and a pair of horses for Dundalk, a journey that takes four days; he finds his mother settled in the house she has just bought at Seatown Place. This is probably the house known as Kincora, now two houses, in which Henry's son, Admiral Francis Leopold, was born. ... Henry indulged in some coursing at Clermont Park, an old Fortescue residence near Stephenstown, and returned to sup at the Oyster Club in Dundalk Market-house; he was later that month admitted a member of the Oyster Club. ... On the 13 March he "rode out" with Henry Maxwell to the latter's farm at Kilcurly, and later went on to Philipstown, returning home to Seatown Place feeling unwell and went to bed early. "Philipstown" was the residence (the Rectory of Baronstown) of the Rev. ... . On the 19 November Henry had some unpleasantness with his brother officers as a result of which he sold out of the regim ent, and paid a visit to Bath where he meets his sister Marianne ... . On the 13 April, having joined another regiment and being posted to Waterford, ... "I got into barracks, went to the play in the evening. There was a very nice girl there, a Miss Fleury, with Mrs Trench, wife of the Bishop of Waterford." The latter was Power Le Poer Trench, second son of the first Earl of Clancarty whose sixth son was the Hon. Charles Le Poer Trench, Rector of Dunleer and Drumcar, 1823-1840 On the 24 July, 1808, he receives a letter from his mother signifying her wish that he send in his resignation and quit the army altogether, and in September he left Dublin by the Newry coach and arrived in Dundalk about 5 p.m. having taken ten hours on the journey. He dines with Dundalk Corporation where there was a large party of fifty or sixty amongst whom was Lord Roden. ... The autumn [of 1809] finds him in Dublin buying a gig which he drove with his horse "drawing it well to Blackrock." That evening he went to Crowe Street Theatre where he heard Mr Braham singing "The Haunted Town". Braham was then a rising Jewish Tenor with a beautiful voice. He lived from 1774-1856 and had, by his wife, Frances Bolton, a very remarkable daughter, Frances, Lady Waldegrave, who married four times, her last husband being Chichester Fortescue, Lord Carlingford.
