E. P. McClintock, now of Newberry county, S. C., was born in Laurens county, June 11, 1845. His father was John McClintock, a native of Laurens county, a farmer by occupation, who died in 1870, and his mother was Mary Martin, a native of Fairfield county, who also is deceased. Of the two sons living when the war began both served in the Confederate army. Hon. William A. McClintock, the elder, now a resident of Ord, Laurens county, entered the war in the beginning as a private in Company G, Third South Carolina volunteers, and served with it during the first twelve months. Upon the reorganization in 1862 he re-enlisted for the war, and joining Company G, Second South Carolina cavalry, was promoted to orderly-sergeant and served in this capacity to the end of the war. Since then his occupation has been that of a farmer. He is highly esteemed and has represented his county in the legislature. He graduated at Erskine college, Due West, S. C., in 1859. Rev. E. P. McClintock spent his boyhood on a farm in Laurens. He was a very precocious youth, and at the tender age of twelve years entered the freshmen class of Erskine college, and was a member of the graduating class of 1861; but owing to the war the college was temporarily suspended and the degree of A. B. was not conferred until after the return of peace. In the fall of 1863 he volunteered and joined Company G, Second South Carolina cavalry, and served to the end of the war as a private, participating in all the battles and skirmishes in which his command was engaged while he belonged to it, including Brandy Station, Wilmington, and others. For special courage he received a complimentary furlough home, and before the expiration of the furlough the war ended. After the war he spent three years superintending his father's large farming interests, and in 1868 he entered the theological seminary of Erskine college, from which he graduated in 1870, since which time he has been in the ministry of the Associated Reformed Presbyterian church, in charge of the church of that denomination at Newberry. He has now been pastor at that place for twenty-eight years, and as such has greatly endeared himself to his own flock and to the people of Newberry. He is chaplain of James D. Nance camp, and a trustee of Erskine college and theological seminary. Reverend McClintock was married, May 17, 1870, to Miss Elizabeth
