McIntyre appeared in the census in 1835 in Antwerp, Jefferson, NY.
Enoch Brotherton: 3 males, 3 females; 1 male subject to militia duty, 1 male
eligible to vote; 1 married female under 45, 2 females under 16; 1 male born
in the past year; 3 acres of land; 3 cattle; 2 horses; 1 hog; 17 yards of flannel
or other woolens, and 18 yards of linen, cotton, etc. cloth produced in the past
year. They were married. The combination of names here almost assures
that these are the Niram and Nathan who later resided in Jefferson and St. Lawrence
counties. This is probably the Mary Jane who married William Neil, though some
have shown that wife as Mary Jane, daughter of Otheneil and Betsey. Since the
date seen for the death of Mary Sweet, Otheneil's first wife, is between 1830
and 1835, that would seem to rule out any daughter of Betsey's, since Mary Jane
Neil was born 1821-1824. Mary Neil's obit says she was born in Elbridge. From
the Jefferson county clerk's office: 1. In 1835, Enoch had 3 males and 3 females
in his household, including one married woman <45, and 2 females <16; 1
male born in the past year. 2. A Horace Adams got deeds for the same two parcels
of land from Lucretia Brotherton, Niram Brotherton, Nathan Brotherton, William
"Neild" and wife Mary, and Lovell Kidder and wife Jerusha. This would
seem to show a family of Enoch & Lucretia, with children Niram and Nathan
Brotherton, Mary Neil, and Jerusha Kidder. The inclusion of Mary Neil and her
husband in this group would seem to seal the fact that she was a sister to Niram
and Nathan. a Jerusha of the right age is seen in the IGI as the daughter of
Enoch Brotherton and Lucretia McIntyre, and the wife of Lovell Kidder. This couple
were married, and their first children were born, in Jefferson county, NY. Enoch,
Lucretia, and "Jerutia" are shown as a family in the LDS IGI. That
Jerusha was married in Felts Mills, Jefferson county, NY, and her first children
were born in Antwerp, same county, making it likely she is the same Jerusha.
Enoch Brotherton and Lucretia McIntyre had the following
children:
