In my previous postings on my McIntosh lineage I stated my 3rd great grandparents are George Washington McIntosh born 3 July 1813 in land that would be Illinois when it became a state in 1818. Before that it was Randolph Terrirtory.  He died 26 Mar 1875 in Pulaski Co., IL. He is buried in Mt. Pisgah Cemetery at Wetaug, IL., Pulaski Co., IL.  He married Elizabeth Hoffner 10 June 1838 in Union County, IL. She is the daughter of John Hoffner and Catherine Powles.  These two counties are adjoining each other. There is also a Washington Lafeyette McIntosh in Uniion Co., IL.  He is not the same man as my 3rd great grandfather but they are kin.  This one is the son of John McIntosh that died in Union Co., IL. 6 Oct 1831 that married Mary Miller.  John  McIntosh is the son of Charles McIntosh of Robetson Co., Tn.

I also have the same info on Hosea Boren, John Beggs and Millington Smith in the info in Union Co., IL. who are connected to the William McIntosh family in Logan Co., Ky.  Millington Smith mentions Barnabas Smith in his will.  The Admin of Millington Smith is William B. Smith of Johnson Co., IL. Millington  Smith's will said he died 6 June 1835 in Union Co., IL. Hosea Boren 's will was in 1825 in Union Co., IL. with Barnabas Smith, Aaron Mcintosh and Robert Beggs as securities. John Beggs will in Union Co., IL is dated 14 Sept 1821. At his sale some are : William Barton, clerk;  Hosea Boren,  Bazel Boren, Alexander Beggs, Archabel Beggs (Adm) . William Mcintosh and Bemjamon McIntosh were in Knox County , Indiana Territory as early as 1807 and in 1809 William Parks vs Henry Johnson wanted a deposition in Robertson Co., Tn. William McIntosh was in Randolph County, Indiana which became Randolph Territory and then southern Illinois . Benjamin and William McIntosh were the first two of this McIntosh clan to come to Illinois from the Virginia,  Caswell.  Co., NC,  Robertson Co., TN and Logan Co., KY Mcintosh's. Any help in proving the early McIntosh's would be appreciated. As far as my research it appears that Alexander McIntosh whose will is 1799 in Robertson Co., TN  might be the earliest one of this clan but I could be wrong on that one part.
