Haha ! WONDERFUL ! When I read the story of Peter McIntosh, I said to myself...that sounds like something my Dad & Grandpa would have pulled. To put it in a nutshell, the research I've found shows this : During the revolutionary war, there was a chap who was VERY pro-brittish. A very hardcore Tory who got the idea that he could turn a nice profit by buying American goods and selling them in England. He had a bit of a problem, tho...nobody would talk to him. Sooo, he hired Peter McIntosh to make the arrangements for him. Peter McIntosh found a ship alright...one owned and crewed completely by folks from Scottland...and whose captain was Scottish as well. Now, in those days, Scottish folks had about as much high regard for the brittish as the IRA did in later years. This did not stop our genius from paying off Peter McIntosh, paying the Scottish captain and crew in advance and loading his goods onto the ship. As the old saying goes, a fool and his money are lucky to get together in the first place. What happened was completely predictable. The ship was "attacked" by unnamed "pirates" and all of the goods vanished....then, while still at sea, the ship was attacked a SECOND time..this time by "rebels" who decided to take the ship to Nova Scotia where the ship was "condemned". While I cannot prove it, I think it far more likely that IF *ANY* of this story was true, rebels would have simply renamed the ship and used it to fight the Brittish. What is far more likely is that the goods were simply sold and the captain and crew split the profits. A McIntosh family value which I would fully believe, given my knowledge of my own families ...uh...value's. It should be noted that...while Peter McIntosh was from Scotland, many of the women married by the McIntosh line from his son James were...from that day to this...Irish. Due to the vast discrimination suffered by the Irish, however, the McIntosh family line has a long history of having refered to itself as either "Scottish" ...or, at best..."Scotch Irish". The history of those who have done this is not one to be proud of, as those calling themselves "Scotch Irish" became some of the worst bigots to discriminate against the Irish that there ever were. But, I suppose every family has a few skeletons in their closet, eh ? If you can document your findings, then this would verify a huge history which has the potential to show the McIntosh family line as ...quite possibly...being incredibly important to the american revolution. I look forward to seeing any info you might have that can document this.

Do you have any documentation that shows the parentage of your James McIntosh ? If you can document that he is the son of Peter (and is the one who married Katherine Fugate) then I have documentation that shows that line thru James from then thru present day. Thanks for anything you can provide.
