Biography

Biography of Daniel E. McIntyre, M.D.

Daniel Eugene McIntyre, sheriff of the united counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, came from an old family in Argyleshire, in the west of Scotland, and was born in Oban, in that county, February 5, 1812, his parents being James McIntyre, a sea captain in the commercial service, and Mary McLachlan. The Mclntyres figured more or less in the early wars of Scotland, particularly those in the age of feudalism.

The subject of this sketch was a graduate of Glasgow as an M.D., and a week later became a Licentiate of the Medical Board of Upper Canada. On the 7th of May, 1835, Dr. McIntyre left Glasgow for the New World, locating in the village of Williamstown, Glengarry, and there following his profession for fifteen years, with success, and gaining great respect in the community.

On the 10th of May, 1850, he was appointed sheriff of the united counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, and at the time of writing has held that office nearly thirty years. He has made an efficient and popular officer, and commands the esteem of a wide circle of acquaintances. On being appointed to this office, he gave up the practice of medicine, in which line he had won a good reputation.

Sheriff McIntyre is a member and trustee of St. John’s Presbyterian church, and has a good standing in the community, as well as in that religious body. He is a man of excellent impulses.

He was an Odd Fellow before coming to Canada, and is among the oldest members of that order in this part of Ontario. His wife was Ann Fraser, of Fraserfield, Glengarry, daughter of Colonel the Hon. Alexander Fraser, married July 4, 1837. They have had seven children, and lost five of them. William It., the eldest son, was an under graduate of arts of McGill College, Montreal, and in law of the University of Toronto, and died at the age of twenty-two years. Mary died in. her twentieth, Catharine in her twenty-seventh, and Christine in her twenty-fifth year, all having been thoroughly educated at the Convent of Villa Maria, Montreal. Jessie died when only five years old. Alexander Fraser McIntyre, the only son living, is a barrister, of the firm of Walker and McIntyre, of Ottawa; and Annie, the only daughter, is the wife of George S. Jarvis, clerk of the town of Cornwall. Like three of her deceased sisters, Mrs. Jarvis was educated at the Convent of Villa Maria. Mr. McIntyre has given all of his children most excellent opportunities for mental culture.

Hi, the Sandfield Macdonald are 'my' family so I have a great depth of research on them, as well I am a descendant of the Hon. Alex. Fraser of Fraserfield.

Daniel's father was a sea captain that went down with his ship off the coast of Wales, leaving wife Mary McLachlin a widow when Daniel was young. I believe Daniel was the only child. The family lived in Oban. Mary did everything she could to give her son a good education as evidenced by his becoming a doctor.

Almost all James' brothers were seafaing men.

Mary's father was Ewen McLaughlin a farmer at Appin, Argyleshire Scotland.

Ann McDonell noted below is usually spelled Ann Macdonell (Leek) and she was the daughter of Archibald (Long Sault) son of John b. 1707. John a famous Loyalist who came to America in 1773 on the Pearl and settled in the Mohawk Valley was a Patriot hostage with five other kinsmen taken from the Sir William Johnson estate as a guarantee of the Highland settlers good behavior. He escaped and made it to Canada eventually but died not long afterward from the combination of the prolonged prison stay and the arduous flight to Canada.

If you check the 1881 Canadian Census online at www.familysearch.org you will find Anne MacIntyre would be born about 1842 (unless she lied!)

I published a book last year called Fraser of Fraserfield, The Sandfield Macdonald Connections Series, Vol. 1 (663 pages) which has a chapter on Daniel McIntyre and his son Alexander (as well as other children) and also a chapter on the Jarvis family of Cornwall, Rosedale, Toronto and Jarvis Street fame. Stephen Jarvis father-in-law of Anne was a 'Raging Tory' (Loyalist).

Hope these comments assist.

Best regards,

Evelyn
