My McClinton's must have been related to Howes because the name Howes appears as middles names in several people, plus a great great uncle Seth McClinton is on immigration papers going to New York at 4 years old with two women, both Howes. I am waiting for his birth certificate to come through to try to confirm his parents. So McClintons were scotland to London to New York and Canada The person I am looking into is Seth Benedict McClinton I thought he was born to William and Eliza but I am not so sure now. Part of the problem is that I lost a lot of my research and I am kind of starting again when I can. Are you a Howes? Many thanks again for your reply.
