Patrick (1831-1901) and his family arrived in New York City on April 18, 1863. The following "Information Wanted" ad appeared in the New York newspaper the Irish-American on November 21, 1863. We have learned that our Patrick is the son of Edward McIntire (c1806-1881 and it also is believed that Patrick might be Michael McIntyre's (c1805-1891) nephew. A Patrick and Michael occupied property next to each other in Lislea and are listed, as such, in the Griffith's Valuation c 1858.
"Of Mary McIntyre, a native of the Parish of Kilmacteige, County Sligo, who married Hugh McGlauhin, of County Meath, Ireland. Also of her sister Bridget, who married Samuel Smith, an American by birth. When last hear from, they resided in the State of New York. Any information of them will be thankfully received by their brother, Patrick McIntyre, who lately arrived, by writing to him in care of Patrick Foy, 81 Baxter Street, New York."
Questions:
- Could Mary McIntyre McGlauhin and Bridget McIntyre Smith be nieces of Michael too?
- Who is Patrick Foy?
- Who is Hugh McGlauhin?
- Who is Samuel Smith?
- Who else lived at 81 Baxter Street, NY
- Did Patrick ever locate Bridget and Mary?
