General Notes: Husband - William Minteer


He and his wife were of Scotch-Irish descent, and in 1813 they settled in what is now West Franklin township, Arm-strong County, Pennsylvania, purchasing 200 acres of land and settling another 100 acres. He cleared and improved his place and he and his wife passed the remainder of their lives there. He and Abram Smith built the First Associate church at Slate Lick, in 1815; it was a log structure 33 feet square, and they and their families worshipped there for many years, being obliged to walk five or six miles, each way, to attend services.

They gave their son William, Jr., 150 acres and their son John fifty acres and allowances. Daniel O'Neil purchased fifty acres of what had been settled, leaving John the remaining fifty acres and allowances.

The Minteer family held its second reunion at Alameda Park, Butler County, Pennsylvania, July 28, 1910, when over three hundred members were present and five generations were represented. The Minteers were usually associated with the United Presbyterian denomination and earnest and active church workers. Four United Presbyterian ministers of the day were among this family's descendants, namely: Rev. W. E. Minteer, Rev. O. H. Milligan, Rev. F. A. Dumm; and Rev. H. P. Smith.
