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.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, San Francisco

Bartholomew (Bartolo) McIntire (1854-1924) married Concepción Ramos (bc1863-1913) on the 7th of July, 1887 at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in San Francisco, California. They were married by Fr. Antonio Santandreu. Bartholomew is the second oldest son of Patrick and Bridget (Stevens) McIntyre. See the earlier post regarding the marriage and church.

In 2015, Patricia Morales Tijerino, the great granddaughter of Bartholomew McIntire, and Sal Bigone, the great, great grandson of Mary McIntyre Leonard (Bartholomew's sister), visited the new Our Lady of Guadalupe Church and filmed this video.
