From the
family
According
to Mary's collection of historical records and documents, in 1860 Robert's
father-in-law, George Alexander Hope selected the land where the present day
island is and he went on to name that portion McIntosh Island in honour of his
son-in-law.
The Hope
and McIntosh families were very early farmers on the Gold Coast although that
particular piece of land was swampy and no good for farming.
Despite
the dispute over whose family can claim the real heritage, one thing both men
had in common was a love of sailing.
He had a business relationship
with another of the early settlers or land speculators A, Norris and G.A. Hope
They were selling the
Ketch "Violet"
