Description |
English: Canadian-born Angus Mackintosh (1839-1904) moved to Seattle in 1870, when the population was a modest 900 people. Mr. Mackintosh discovered King County had no registry of property titles, so he began preparing abstracts and built an extensive business doing the same for Pierce, Island, and Whatcom counties. Later he expanded into buying and selling real estate, banking, and the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Railroad. In 1871 Mr. Mackintosh married Elizabeth Peebles (1844-1926) and they had two children, Gertrude and Kenneth. The map pictured here was created by Angus Mackintosh in 1874, likely as part of one of his county property surveys. Many early Seattle settlers are identified on the map by the land they owned: William Nathaniel Bell (1817-1887), Carson Dobbins Boren (1824-1912), Luther M. Collins (1813-1860), Arthur Armstrong Denny (1822-1899), David Thomas Denny (1832-1903), Edward Hanford (1807-1884), John Cornelius Holgate (1828-1868), George Holt (b. 1813), F. W. Lampe (b. 1837), Eli Bishop Maple (1831-1911) Samuel Maple (1827-1880), Dr. David Swinson Maynard (1808-1873), Thomas Dickerson Mercer (1813-1898), John Jacob Moss (1817-1896), John H. Nagle (1830-1897), Dr. Henry Allen Smith (1830-1915), Erasmus M. Smithers (1830-1900), Ira W. Utter (1825-1875), Henry Van Asselt (1817-1902), and Henry Leiter Yesler (1810-1892).
