Joan also sent me the following info. It comes from Some Decsendants of Samuel McIntyre and Dorcas Whitman. I believe this was put together by Harvey MacIntyre in 1997. His e-mail address is macintyre@cnnet.com.
Their youngest son, Daniel McIntyre married Elizabeth Bodine. In Daniel's will he says:
"And also I order and request my Executors to procure Three Tomb Stones and place them one at the Grave of my Sone Abraham McIntyre one at the Grave of Elizabeth McIntyre my First Wife and one at My Own ...
There is a picture of Elizabeth's tombstone and under the picture it says:
The following is inscribed on this tombstone:
In memory of Elizabeth wife of Daniel McIntyre
died Sept. 22, 1839, aged 54y's 9m 27d
Dear friends while on my tomb you gaze
In Jesus arms I sleep
Til the last trumpet shall bid me rise
Prepare me thair [sic] to meet
Author calculated her birthdate as 26 Nov 1784. She is buried in the Iona cemetery, Southwold Twp., Elgin Co., Ontario.
He states, p. 5:
Two genealogists give Elizabeth's maiden name as Bodine [see endnote] Remember that Daniel, in his will, refers to "Elizabeth his first wife" Kevin Howley said that she was "Elizabeth Bodine." In the 1867 Historical Atlas for Elgin County, a Marshall Bodine is listed on Lot 19, NTR. At present, nothing more is known about the Bodines.
If we note the dates of birth of the children, and of Elizabeth's date of death, it is reasonable to assume that Elizabeth was the mother of the children named in Daniel's will.
In note 14 on p. 31, it says:
MARRIAGES: Ellen [Clarke] McIntyre wrote, "Daniel McIntyre was married three times." John Burton worte: "Daniel married (1) Elizabeth, daughter of Jacob Bodine; she died Sep 22, 1839, ...(W. E. Chute. Genealogy and History of the Chute Family in America, with some account of the family in Great Britain and Ireland and an account of 40 allied families, 1856 pps ccdii...}
mary of descendants by Joan Best:
children of Daniel and Elizabeth were: Sarah Ann, Jacob, Mary, Abraham, and Catherine.
Sarah Ann's date of birth is unknown, estmated at about 1816. She married Coughlain Lumley, 9 Feb. 1832, died 24 Sep 1844. They had one child, Nancy (Lumley) Waters.
Jacob, born abt. 1818 and died after 1882. He married Ann (Nancy) McColl and they had eight children: Elizabeth, 1838, Samuel, 1839, Dugald, 1840, John, 1842, Daniel, 1844, Malcom, 1846, Duncan, 1848, and Christinana, 1850.
Mary married Joseph Lodge (1) and Nicol McColl. The children were William Lodge, Elizabeth Lodge, Catherine Ann McColl, infant McColl, Elizather McColl, Janet McColl.
Abraham married Margaret Milligan. Their children were Daniel, Hanna, Alexander, Mary Elizabeth, Catherine, and Emily.
Catherine married James Lodge, son William.
I wasn't sent the pages about the last three children, just an outline so I don't have dates. It is interesting that she named her children Jacob, Abraham, and Catherine. Daniel had a brother named Abraham, but there are no other Jacobs or Catherines.
Note from Joan Best: The McIntyre, Abraham Bodine, James & Amy (Bodine) Best & James & Ruth (Bodine) Watson lots were all on Talbot Rd that ran between the Lake Erie coast and New London, Ontario, a distance of less than 20 miles.
