Photo of Patrick McIntyre

This is the only photo that has been identified of Patrick McIntyre (c1831-1901).  We are so lucky Sal Bigone has the "Trunk" of photos.  The photo is undated.

I would imagine Patrick is in his late thirties, perhaps very early forties, in this photo.  What do you think?

Sal Bigone thinks this photo and the younger photo of Bridget Stevens McIntyre were probably taken around 1865, shortly after they arrived in San Francisco.  That would make Patrick about 35.

Photos of Bridget Stevens McIntyre

Photos of Bridget Stevens McIntyre (c1829-1908). It is believed by Sal Bigone that the first photo may have been taken shortly after the family arrived in San Francisco.  Maybe to send back to Ireland?

Photos of Bartholomew McIntyre/McIntire and wife Concepción

Despite all the photos of other members of the McIntyre family and later photos of Bartholomew/Bartolo's children, there are very few of Bartholomew (1854-1924) himself.  The ones that have been located are mostly from official documents.

Photos of Mary McIntyre Leonard and husband James

Mary McIntyre (1856-1934) married James Leonard 31 January 1875.  Sal Bigone provided these first two photos and believes they were taken around 1880.

Photo of Dominic McIntyre

This wonderful photo of Dominic McIntyre (c1860-1932) is from Sal Bigone's collection.  Dominic looks like he is about 3 or 4 years old.  We have two differing birth years for Dominic.  On the 1863 family's passenger list he is recorded as being 2-years old making his birth year c1860-1861.  However, on his tombstone, it says he was born in 1855.  I find it hard to believe a seven to eight year old could have passed for a 2-year old on the passage to America.

If he really was born c1860 and he is about 3 or 4 in this photo, then it is very likely the photo was taken shortly after the McIntyre family arrived in San Francisco.  Possibly a photo to send back to the old country?

Photo of John Dunn McIntyre?

Sal Bigone believes the person on the left in this photo is John Dunn McIntyre (1864-a1908). [See note at end of post]  The back of the photo is signed J. R. McIntyre. The person on the left looks like he is in his twenties.  John Dunn was born in 1864, dating this photo c late 1880s or early 1890s.  We know Bartholomew was in San Salvador in the mid-1890s as Bartholomew's daughter, Mercedes, was born there in 1896.  Bartholomew's previous children were born in San Francisco and before that, Mexico.

The author of the note on the back refers to Marysville, California.  In Bridget Stevens McIntyre's death notice, it lists John Dunn's brother, Thomas McIntyre, as living in Marysville in 1908. Could the note be written to Thomas?

Does anyone know more about John Dunn McIntyre and his possible stay in San Salvador?

    Friend Brother?

I am a little behind time in replying to your letter I am well and still at work. How is things in Marysville.  My two chums and my self was out for a walk last Sunday and we had our pictures taken this is one of them. I do not look as I did when you seen me last. But when you are in Rome you have to-do-as the Romans do.  You would please me very much if you would send me some papers. Remember me to Neran(?) and all of the boys.  I think I will rite up a piece for the Marysville Democrat by the time I hear from you again.
With best wishes I remain as ever
J. R. McIntyre

Note: It has been learned that John Dunn went by the name John Robert later in life. This would explain J. R. McIntyre as the signature. So, yes, it is John Dunn AKA John Robert! (May 18, 2020).

Original McIntyre Gravesite, St. Mary's Cemetery, Oregon

From information located at Mt. Calvary Cemetery in Portland, Oregon, it is known the remains of Patrick and Bridget (Stevens) McIntyre were removed from St. Mary's Cemetery, also in Portland, to Mt. Calvary in 1931.  See Patrick and Bridget McIntyre's Gravesite post.  It is believed these photos show the original grave site in St. Mary's Cemetery. From the look of the individuals and their clothing, it is believed these photos were taken in the 1920s.

Concepcion R. de McIntire and Family, 1897

In 1897, Concepción R. de McIntire, wife of Bartolo McIntire, sent this picture card to her sister-in-law, Mary McIntyre Leonard.  The photo was taken in San Salvador on September 16, 1897.  In addition to Concepción and her six children, the young lady (left and front) in the photo is believed to be the family's servant along with her daughters.

Mrs. M. Leonard

               To my dear and loving sister-in-law as to remind you

of my loving daughters and sons and also of myself.

               This picture was taken the 16th of September of the present

year the ages were then the following  Maria 14 years 1 month 23

days. Elena 11 years 1 month 3 days. Francisca 9 years 27 days

Bartolo 7 years 27 days. Manuel 6 years 1 month one day, and

Mercedes 8 months 23 days.

Concepción R. de McIntire

Using a date calculator, the following birth dates are projected for each of the children listed above.

• Maria born - 24 July 1883 – This year is in keeping with the age given on the birth record of her first child.

• Elena born – 13 Aug 1886 – This is in keeping with the information Patricia Morales Tijerino has provided

• Francisca born – 20 Aug 1888 – Francisca/Frances gives her age in the 1940 US Census as 52 which corresponds with the birth year of 1888.

• Bartolo born – 20 Aug 1890 – His birthday is given as 18 August 1890 on a 1927 passenger list, close enough.

• Manuel born – 15 Aug 1891 – Manuel lists his birth date as 15 August 1890 on his WWII registration card/but his birth date is listed as 15 August 1891 on his death certificate.  Given Bartolo’s year of birth, the 1891 year seems to be more accurate.

• Mercedes born – 24 Dec 1896 – Mercedes’ Social Security Death record also lists her birth date as 24 December 1896.
