Freeman McIntire (68) was the second of eight children (William, Freeman, Solomon, James, Robert, David, Mary & Agnes) born to Isabella Nicol (Scottish immigrant from Gilhead, Scotland) and Simeon McIntire (originally from Ontario, Canada).
He lived in Hammond, St. Lawrence County, New York where all but the last two siblings were born. He was raised Presbyterian and in 1838 when Freeman was twelve years old a group of LDS missionaries came to Hammond, NY to convert folks. Only a few agreed to join the Mormons; one couple was his parents, Isabella Nicol and Simeon McIntier. They were baptized in April 1838. Sometime after 1839 and before 1841 the family moved to Nauvoo, Illinois.They decided to head west and follow the Morman trail to Utah. Freeman was with his parents for at least part of the trip, but he stayed on in Wisconsin and may have farmed near Mauston, Juneau County, Wisconsin as that is where his son, Ward, was born in 1858. Next he resided in Rochester, MN area where he and his wife, Rachel Smith, died. It does not appear that Freeman stayed with the LDS church but rather he and his descendants were with the United Brethren church.
Isabelle (Isabel) Nicol and Simeon McIntier had eight children:
1. William McIntier b. Ap. 22, 1824 Hammond, NY (Civil War Veteran 1861-1864)
2. Freeman McIntier Jul 27, 1826-1896 married Rachael Smith; Civil War Vet)
3. Solomon McIntier b. 3 Nov 1828 in Hammond, NY lived in Oquawka, Henderson, IL and was a carpenter. He was at Grafton, Jersey, IL in 1870.

5. Robert McIntier b. 22 Oct 1835 in Hammond, NY-23 Apr 1899 Lyman, ID m. Catherine Rose
6. David McIntier b. 25 Aug 1839 in Easton, Tazwell, Illinois. m. Launa Nay.He went East. deserted his wife.
7. Mary McIntier b. 14 Oct 1841 in Nauvoo, Hancock, IL- 30 Nov 1843 in Nauvoo, ILdied at age two while the family was in Nauvoo, IL and is buried there.
8. Agnes McIntier (69) b. Oct. 11,1830 d. July 8, 1900 who was wife #2 in a plural marriage to William Austin. First wife was her aunt Agnes "Nancy" Nicol.
We find him next in Wisconsin where Freeman was a member of Company C 47th Wisconsin Infantry during the Civil War. He mustered up in Madison, WI Jan. 30, 1865 and ordered to Louisville, Ky., thence to Nashville, Tenn., and Tullahoma, Tenn. He was attached to the 2nd Brigade, Defenses Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad, Dept. of the Cumberland, to April, 1865. 2nd Brigade, 1st Sub-District, District Middle Tennessee, Dept. of the Cumberland, to June 21, 1865. He was discharged due to a disability a severe case of rheumatism, which rendered him helpless in his later years.
CIVIL WAR SERVICE--Railroad guard duty at Tullahoma, Tennessee and in District of Middle Tennessee until September. Mustered out September 4, 1865.
Freeman McIntire married Rachel Smith who was born in New York State on Ap. 3, 1829.

1. Ida McIntire Boyton 1855-1938
2. Ward McIntire b. October 18, 1858, at Mauston, Wis., and came to Rochester with his parents when he was a young man.
I am still looking for more information on his life as he is mentioned in one of my Great Grandmother's (Catherine Violet Nicol Brainard) letters dated Feb. 5, 1885 to her cousin Agnes Nicol McIntire Austin .
