The family tradition connected with the murder of John Mclntire and his wife is that they were out hunting the cows and were attacked by a small party of Indians. Mclntire was killed at once but Mrs. Mclntire escaped into the woods, was overtaken and killed some distance from her husband. For two or three days it was supposed that she was captured until her scalp was found in the effects of the Indians when they were overtaken by the pursuing party of whites. A search was then instituted and her body found. It is supposed that it was the intention of the Indians to attack the Mclntire house, but as they approached they heard quite a disturbance inside and presuming there was a number of men there passed on. The noise was occasioned by the Mclntire children playing with a pet bear. The youngest of these children, Zadock, lived to take part in the war of 1812, was captured at the battle of Lundy's Lane in Canada and was imprisoned on a ship in Halifax Harbor for more than a year. He lived to a good old age and was buried in Hepseby Church yard.
