His father was William Minteer, likely cousin of John Minteer, Joseph Minteer, William Minteer, and others.
In 1820 he and his parents and six siblings lived in Cadiz Township, Harrison County, OH.
In 1830 he, his mother, two older sisters, and his brother William lived in Pike Township, Knox County, OH.
In 1850 he and his wife and their four children lived in the same township. He worked as a carpenter.
In 1860 he and Julia and their four youngest children lived on a farm in Sigourney Township, Keokuk County, IA. He owned real property worth $2700 and personal property valued at $1350. He also worked as a butcher.
In 1870 he, his wife, their youngest son, Bruce, and his nephew Upton Minteer lived on probably the same farm. He owned real property worth $6600 and personal property valued at $1430.
In 1895 he lived there by himself. He was a retired farmer.
In 1900 he lived with his son William, William's wife Anna, William's granddaughters Veda and Lula Adams, and a boarder, 27-year-old Grant Hixon, in a house they owned, with a mortgage, at 5523 South Sangamon Street in Chicago, IL.

His great-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.
