Brief history

Brief History of Patrick and Bridget McIntyre

Patrick McIntyre (c1831-1901) married Bridget Stevens (c1829-1908) on March 3, 1851 in St. Attracta’s Roman Catholic Church, Toulestrane, County Sligo, Ireland. They had eleven known children. The first five were born in Ireland: Edward (1852-1931); Bartholomew (1854-1924); Mary (1856-1934); Dominick (c1860-1932); and Catherine (1861-1914). Patrick, his wife and five children, left Ireland in 1863 sailing on the SS Orient into New York harbor and finally settling in San Francisco, California where the last six children were born: John Dunn (1864-a1908); Elizabeth (1867-1869); William (1869-1879); James (1871-1874); Thomas (c1874-a1931); and Ellen (1879-1963). Patrick and Bridget homesteaded in Oregon in the 1880s. Patrick died in 1901 and Bridget died in 1908. They are both buried in Mt. Calvary Cemetery, Portland, Oregon.

Patrick's parents, Edward (c1805/6-1881) and Ann McIntyre (c1803/07-1889), both born in Ireland, also came to the US settling in the San Francisco area. From the records, it appears Edward and Ann came a few years before Patrick.

Bartolo McIntire Decree of Final Settlement, 1926

On August 17, 1926, in the matter of the Estate of Bartolo McIntire, a Decree of Final Settlement and Final Distribution was filed.  This document states that the two parcels of his real property be distributed to two of his daughters who were living in San Francisco as follows:
  • Parcel One be given to Maria McIntire Ruiz and 
  • Parcel Two be given to Francisca McIntire de Funes Campos. 

Following is the copy of the Decree and below are recent photos taken by Sal Bigone of the four corners of Green and Polk where Parcel Two is thought to be near.





Sal Bigone took photos of the four corners of Polk and Green earlier this month with the hope it could be determine where the property and house owned by Bartolo (Parcel 2) and given to his daughter Francisca was located.

My husband, Ralph, sketched out the piece of property from the description given in the Decree document above and it places Parcel Two 62' 6" east of Polk on the north side of Green Street.

Using Google Earth, Sal's photo of the north east corner of Green and Polk, and Ralph sketch of the description given in the Final Decree Settlement, it is believe that Parcel Two today is located at 1384 E. Green Street.  Unfortunately, the building at this address appears rather new and has possibly replaced the building that was at this location in 1926.  It is worth a visit to determine.

Many thanks to Sal Bigone who provided a scanned copy Bartolo McIntire's Decree of Final Settlement and Final Distribution, filed August 17, 1926, Superior Court, City and County of San Francisco, California, No. 41592.  And for the four photos of the corner of Polk and Green.  Thanks also to Ralph Beaudoin who can read these legal property descriptions.
