Patrick McIntyre Inquiry, 1863

Lawrence McIntyre's father was Michael McIntyre.  It is believed one of Michael's nephew or cousin was Patrick McIntyre, the occupier of the property next to Michael's as listed in the Griffith's Valuation c 1858.

Patrick and his family arrived in New York City on April 18, 1863.  The following "Information Wanted" ad appeared in the New York newspaper the Irish-American on November 21, 1863.

"Of Mary McIntyre, a native of the Parish of Kilmactige, County Sligo, who married Hugh McGlauhin, of County Meath, Ireland. Also of her sister Bridget, who married Samuel Smith, an American by birth.  When last hear from, they resided in the State of New York.  Any information of them will be thankfully received by their brother, Patrick McIntyre, who lately arrived, by writing to him in care of Patrick Foy, 81 Baxter Street, New York."

Questions:

• Could Mary McIntyre McGlauhin and Bridget McIntyre Smith be sisters or cousins of Michael too?
• Who is Patrick Foy?
• Who is Hugh McGlauhin?
• Who is Samuel Smith?
• Who else lived at 81 Baxter Street, NY
• Did Patrick ever locate Bridget and Mary?
