Her brother William's granddaughter Veda Adams Crowley wrote the following:

My great-grandfather, Joseph P. Minteer, told me that the Minteer family was of French descent - that the name had been changed from Montour to Minteer by either older brothers or uncles, when they were attending school, so the name would be more “American”. He said that the Daymudes were from Virginia - that they claimed to be French, but he thought they were Dutch.
A sister of Julia Daymude married ______ Yearick and lived in Washington, Iowa. Alice Arastrong, a daughter. And the Swailes and House family, in Sigourney and Wapello, were also from that side of the family.
There was a bachelor brother named Up Minteer, who had lost a leg in the Civil War, and I think lived in Missouri - also another brother in Missouri, who had children - for my grandfather had cousins in Missouri, and in Illinois also.
There are Minteers in Pittsburgh and in Ohio - also Mintiers in Ohio.
My great-grandfather said the Minteers (Montours) came from Pennsylvania to Ohio.
The Minteers all seem to think that we come from the same ancestor.
None seem to trace the family earlier than 1790. I think the family is descended from the French-Indian, Andrew (Henry) Montour of Pennsylvania.
