Added Mary Ann Hopper as spouse, based on Robert Anglin's research of UNKNOWN Hopper and the fact that Mary Ann's father, Thomas Hopper, in his will lists Benjamin McIntosh as a recipient, and the Hopper family moved to Caswell County, NC, around the same time as the McIntosh's were there.


This information in an email from Robert Anglin, who has done extensive research on the McIntosh line. I (Shawn) have no reason to doubt this information, but am simply putting it here for further verification so it's visible to any other genealogists as well. I hope to go through the information as well in more detail when I have time:

I just looked at Wiki Tree and there are some mistakes. Alexander did not marry Elizabeth Boren. When Alexander married the Boren's were already in NC. A son and at least two daughters married Boren's. You have an Alexander as his son and that is false. Folks did not look at the 1784 tax record with open eyes. It listed ZERO 21-60 and two under 21 or over 60. He was over and Nimrod under. Plus the two daughters, Mary ca 1764 and Anna? 1766. Nancy was born ca 1756. The sons were, in this order, Benjamin (a Hopper mother), John, probably Thomas then William, Charles and Nimrod. The two younger daughters may have both married Boren's as well as John and Mary. Under Charles 1759 you have Alexander, John, Benjamin, Charles Anderson plus the three daughters. Elijah was Elijah Samuel and Benjamin was also Alexander. Here is why. July 22, 1850 Candis McIntosh applied for a pension as the widow of a Revolutionary War Soldier. (FHL Film # 0971687) In 1850 she gave her age as 74. In 1852 she gave her age as 78. She gave the names of her children by Charles as follows: John, Alexander, Margreatt, Elijah, Julia, Anderson, and Sena. Notice no Benjamin? Oct Term 1836 the will of Charles McIntosh presented for probate, Robertson County: Wife: Candis. Sons: Benjamin, Elijah & Anderson. Dau: Peggy & Julia (FHL Film # 425200 Robertson TN Wills pg 290) Notice no Alexander. John and Sena had died before Charles made his will. Land records show where Charles was and he stated he was married in one of two places. Doubtful he was in Montgomery Tn very much. His father filed his will in what became Robertson. The land was Sulfur Fork of the Red River which is mostly near down town Springfield today. The creek is not very long. Spelling of his wife's name is all over the map. Plus you have a William and a William half brother. No half brother besides Benjamin. Because Benjamin was the only McIntosh listed in the will of Thomas Hopper it is probable that his mother was the daughter of Thomas Hopper. Daughters Nancy married William Boren brother of Bazel. Mary and Suzannah may have both married Boren's. I'll look at who and where. Mary Boren married John McIntosh and had Bazel McIntosh suggesting she too was a sibling of Bazel. Children of Charles Boren and Mary Brashear.


Alexander was born in 1724. He passed away in 1799. [2]

It is no longer believed that Alexander McIntosh had a father named Alexander McIntosh (1705 - 1798). DNA evidence has the line going to Perthshire, not Inverness-shire. The father connection has been deleted from this profile.

The Y-DNA has evidence of Nordic roots, not Celtic or Pict.

Can you please explain why all the sources for Alexander quote Elizabeth Quarrier ?

What is their relationship ?

McIntosh-1248 and McIntosh-1074 appear to represent the same person because: duplicate profiles with same death date and location and same son

Notice Lachlan McIntosh in the list. I believe his DNA is type R. So John Morh,as brother of Lachlan, cannot be as listed here. The Dna for John, Thomas, William, Charles and Nimrod is type I not related. Mary Boren was from Orange NC John Morh never knew her. She married John, son of Alexander.

McIntosh-1248 and McIntosh-1941 appear to represent the same person because: I believe this is the same person. My information is much sketchier (e.g. middle name spelling, wife's name), but I believe it should be merged with yours. Another source had the spouse as Nancy Boren so Mary is probably the wrong name. Plus, based on our research, I believe we have most of their children. The death places for both Nancy and John match where their children were or died at as well.
