I descend from James and Adeline (group 3), and I believe that the James in Group 3 may be the child of William L. in Group 1, but it's only an assumption based on their close proximity and the name "James". The James in Group 1 born abt. 1770 is the father of William L. I have a microfilm copy of his death record. It lists the informant as William L., son. The death date was April 24, 1855, 86 years old, died of old age. It also states in the death record that James was the son of Daniel. There is a record of a Daniel McIntosh living in Prince William County VA in the mid to late 1700's, so this is probably the same Daniel. Consort of James was listed as Elizabeth and his occupation was listed as "Gunsmith". The James in group 3 married Adeline in 1848 and had five sons, Lucian, William, Crawford, Joseph and James, and one daugther, Sallie. James died in 1865 as a prisoner of the Civil War. I have a ton of info on this family, but no proof of the father of James. I have no information on Rachel, or any of the McIntoshes in group 2. They all lived in the same household and may or may not be connected to the other McIntoshes. Let me know if you can add anything to this ok? Thanks, Michele
