Born Grace Handy, descended from an old American Mayflower family.
Pianist
Parents: Benjamin Handy and Sarah Watson Handy
Husband: Thomas Henry McClintock (physician) m. 1898
Children: Marjorie McClintock (b. 1898)
Mignon McClintock Crowell (b. 1900)
Barbara (nee Eleanore)(b. 1902)
Malcolm Rider McClintock ("Tom", b. 1904)
Note: FaG contributor Professor Kass (#472435560) points out that the grave stone spelling is "Sarah" not "Sara". I am leaning towards the stone being wrong about the "H" -- a mistake made by the engraver because the birth last name begins with "H".(I have seen similar mistakes with other military headstones.) Other references do not add the "H" (See, for example, the National Library of Medicine online "Profiles in Science" and the Barbara McClintock Papers, American Philosophical Society, "Series II: McClintock, Sara and Thomas Henry -- 50th Wedding Anniversary".) Until further clarification, I will remain with the spelling used in written accounts of Barbara McClintock's life.
Note also that there are some unresolved claims that the birth year is 1865.
