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.

Patrick McIntyre Naturalization Date

As mentioned in a previous post, most federal and county documents that were archived in San Francisco, were destroyed during the 1906 earthquake.  It is believed this happened to the court copy of Patrick's naturalization papers.

However, Dolly Purcell found an index of nationalizations.  If I remember correctly, she couldn't remember the actual source when she shared it with me.  Regardless, it does list the date of naturalization and it is the same date as Bartolo McIntyre indicates on his request for passport in 1920.


????: 8789
Name: McIntyre, Patrick
Nativity: Ireland
When Naturalized: 19 Aug 1869
When ????: 18 Nov 1926
Recorded: Book W, Page 320

It is possible one of Patrick's children needed proof of naturalization and brought a document to the San Francisco District Court and this is an index of whatever was presented in 1926.
