Perry–McClintock Line of Seskinore
Origins: The Perry Family in Tyrone (1662)
The origins of the Seskinore line trace to Thomas Perry, father of James Perry, of Welsh descent, who received a fee farm grant of the lands of Mullaghmore, County Tyrone, from Sir Audley Mervyn in 1662.
This grant established the Perry family as landholders in Tyrone, from whom the later McClintock succession would emerge.
