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.

    I hadn't seen the video in the blog, and after watching it knowing that my father (Roberto) is no longer with us physically, well, it made me smile and feel blessed for being part of a family who treasures pictures, letters, and memories...The day that picture was taken was so much fun! It gathered McIntyre descendants who now live in El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, and Florida. Little did Patrick and Bridget imagine how far their seeds would be scattered by the winds of love, dreams, hope and change...

    Oh, how great are the treasures getting "caught" in your web, dear Spider...

    (For some reason, the box for comments only allows me to use a pen name I chose for a blog, but you know I am the same far flung cousin Patricia Morales, right?) ;-)

    A little more about that day: The one with the camera was Roberto's only grandson, Manuel Emilio Pacheco Morales, from the Dominican Republic. The granddaughters who were present that day are Erica and Rebeca, mothers of Gabriel and Andrés respectively. Those two little boys are the 7th generation of Patrick and Bridget!
