In 1781 Miss Mary Perry married
Alexander McClintock and Seskinore became the family seat. The McClintock family
had settled in Ulster in 1597 from Argyll, Scotland. Lt. Col.
John Knox McClintock was High Sheriff for County Tyrone in 1891, and
like his predecessors, was a Deputy Lieutenant and Justice of the Peace. The
McClintock family were enthusiastic huntsmen and in 1860 they established the
"Tyrone Hunt", which was renamed the "Seskinore Hunt" in
1886.
