Where did the Scottish MacLintock family come from? What is the Scottish MacLintock family crest and coat of arms? When did the MacLintock family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the MacLintock family history? The root of the ancient Dalriadan-Scottish name MacLintock is the Gaelic name Mac Gille Ghionndaig, which means son of the servant of St. Finndag or son of the fair young man.The translation of Gaelic names in the Middle Ages was not a task undertaken with great care. Records from that era show an enormous number of spelling variations, even in names referring to the same person. Over the years MacLintock has appeared as MacClintock, MacLintock, MacLinden, MacAlinden and many more. First found in Argyllshire, where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our MacLintock research.

Some of the MacLintock family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 158 words(11 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products. Many settled along the east coast of what would become the United States and Canada. As the American War of Independence broke out, those who remained loyal to the crown went north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. The ancestors of all of these hardy Dalriadan-Scottish settlers began to recover their collective history in the 20th century with the advent of the vibrant culture fostered by highland games and Clan societies in North America. Highland games, clan societies, and other organizations generated much renewed interest in Scottish heritage in the 20th century. The MacLintock were among the earliest of the Scottish settlers as immigration passenger lists have shown: Alexander, Daniel, James, John, Robert, Thomas and William MacClintock all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860; Robert MacClintick settled in Philadelphia about 1840. The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Virtute et labore Motto Translation: By valour and exertion.
The MacLintock Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The MacLintock Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 27 October 2010 at 13:47. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
