Christopher & Eunice (Jackson) McIntire married 30 December 1829 in Old Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church in Wilmington, New Castle, Delaware. Christopher was a descendant of Michael & Ann McIntire and probably the son of Christopher McIntire, Sr. Christopher and Eunice lived in downtown Wilmington and 2 children were born. James Michael McIntire & George Henry McIntire. (Both changed the spelling of their last name to McIntyre).
Christopher died around 1837, and Eunice was left to raise the boys herself. James was bound-out to a Printer before adulthood to learn that trade. At some point James went to Ohio where an uncle lived and George went to Portsmouth, Virginia to work.
In 1860, James was living outside Springfield, Illinois. He attended the Lincoln-Douglas debates, and was a huge follower of President Abraham Lincoln and all that he stood for. In 1864 he married Sarah C. Skinner, and they went West to Worth County, Missouri.
George married widow Mary Ann Butcher, prior to 1860. He was living in Portsmouth, Norfolk County, Virginia at the time his son, Wellington,was born, in Jan 1860. He was surrounded by the politics of the time and enlisted as a Confederate Soldier for Virginia. (Private; VA Co. H, Unit 3). His second son Harry was born in May, while he was recouperating from wounds near Petersburg, Virginia. George died of wounds later the same year, in another battle; 18 Sep 1862 in Sharpsburg, MD.
