I assume you've done some Googling (Binging, etc.)? There is, for example, a listing at
http://tinyurl.com/bkxx25y
of Philadelphia Orchestra musicians through its history (quickly scanning it I noticed several current players, so it's generally comprehensive). McGinnis was Principal Clarinet under Stokowski from 1930 to 1940, having replaced Bonade while McGinnis was still a student at Curtis (he officially graduated in 1935). There are also musicians' listings on this site for Boston, Cleveland (where McGinnis played after Philadelphia), Chicago, New York Met Opera Orchestra and San Francisco (where McGinnis played after he left the NY Phil) orchestras.

There is a Doctoral Thesis in PDF format at

by Tracey Lynn Paddock entitled "A Biographical Dictionary of Twentieth-Century American Clarinetists." I haven't read though it, but quick searches for the players you ask about found many references to each of them.
