My Genealogy Hound

L. McINTOSH, retired, Etna, was born in 1811, in Nairn, near Fort George, Scotland, the son of John and Ann McIntosh. He learned the shoemaker’s trade in his native home, and conducted a successful business there previous to coming to America, in 1838. He located in Allegheny, where he carried on a shoe business for twenty-eight years. In 1873 he purchased land in Shaler township, where he now resides. He married, in Scotland, Margaret Gregory, who was the mother of seven children, three of whom survived her — Alexander G., James T. (the latter is conducting the shoe business in his father’s former stand), and Elspacious Gregory, who was burned to death at Oil City, Pa., Oct. 23, 1866, leaving a widow and two sons. The second wife of our subject was Mrs. Margaret Carithers, nee McRoberts. The result of this marriage is one daughter, viz.: Lucretia Mott, wife of Rev. D. C. Martin, who is a native of Lawrence county, Pa., and a graduate of Westminster College and of the R. P. Seminary of Allegheny. Mr. Martin has preached principally in Princeton, Ind., where he had a charge for fifteen years; now residing near, on account of the advancing age and infirmity of Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh.
