Who is the father of William McIntosh?

John McIntosh Sep 4, 2019 2:32 PM

Who is the father of William McIntosh (1764-1843) of Williamsburg, SC?

I know a great deal about William and his descendants but very little about his father. I think his mother and father are John McIntosh (b. 1741) and Mary Westbury (b 1745, d 24 Jul 1787) of Williamsburg, SC.

I know...

John was christened August 20, 1741 at Old St. Andrews Parish Church, Berkeley County, SC. (South Carolina Historical and Genealogical Magazine, South Carolina Historical Society; Volume 14 (1913), Pages 20-35).

From the research of Florence Harrington Bartlett (via Kathy Loyd)...

John McIntosh served in French and Indian War in 1759 under Capt. David Anderson., with William Westbury. Private John Mclntosh was on the Muster Roll & Pay List 10-8-1759 through 1-10-1760 of Capt. David Anderson's Company of SC Militia in the Regiment commanded by Col. Richard Richardson in the 1759 Cherokee Expedition.

His wife Mary Westbury, was the daughter of William and Jane Westbury. Mother of William Westbury was Mary Early, according to his will.

Samuel D. McGill wrote in 1894 that William Mclntosh's mother was a sister to Elizabeth Westbury/Westberry, the wife of Roger McGill. Stella Gardner thought that William's father was James G. McIntosh, who emigrated from Scotland in 1756.

William Westbury owned land near him.

Dear Mr. McIntosh,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the Population Schedules for the 1790 Census;1800 Census; 1810 Census; 1820 Census; 1830 Census and 1840 Census in the Records of the Census Bureau (Record Group 29). Digital images of 1790, 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830 and 1840 census records are not available yet in the Catalog but are digitized and available on Ancestry. From 1790 to 1840, only the head of household is listed by name; other household members are merely counted in selected age groups.

On Ancestry, we located John McIntosh as head of household on the 1790 Census; 2 listings for a John McIntosh on 1800 Census Listing #1 & Listing #2; and 2 more listings of a John McIntosh on the 1810 Census Listing #1 & Listing #2. We located multiple listings of Birth, Baptism & Christening for a John McIntosh; multiple listings of Birth, Baptism & Christening for a Mary McIntosh and a possible Baptismal Record for William McIntosh for you to review.

We also located William McIntosh as head of household on the 1820 Census; 2 listings on the 1830 Census for a William McIntosh Listing #1 & Listing #2; and on the 1840 Census for your review.
