Edward McEntee, my 3rd great-grandfather, was born on January 14, 1795 in County Monaghan, Ireland, the son of Charles and Mary McEntee. He arrived in the United States as a young child and eventually settled in the Ulster County, New York region.
On June 29, 1833 at New Paltz, New York, he married Annetje (Ann) Freer, a descendant of one of the original Huguenot families who settled New Paltz in 1675.
In the 1850, 1860 and 1870 Federal Census his occupation is listed as farmer or farmer/weaver.
Edward McEntee died on February 11, 1875 at Gardiner, New York, at the age of 80 and is buried in the New Paltz Rural Cemetery.
