Meredith.--I have just read your posts from
1/16/2000 thru 7/10/2000 regarding the McIn-
tyres, and have some idea of the state of
your research--so will venture a response.
I believe the McIntyre's of Fremont co., IA
have punched a hole in the spendid genealogy
of the family by Robert McIntyre (who just
recently passed away.)1ST: there seems to
be a ten-year-hiatus in the available records
for three of the sons of Philip while they
were "of Essex co. Mass."I cannot believe
that all three families had NO CHILDREN born
during these years, while some were born be-
fore and after!(I believe that is when our
Rufus Sr., should have appeared in the vital
statistics.)2ND:Jemima (Blackmar) McIn
tyre's mother was Jemima Kinney--and--their
family says they moved from Salem-to Windham-
to- Smithfield during the first decades of the 1700's.3RD: There is only ONE prime
record which states there was a Robert (?) who lived in early Rhode Island, and that ONE
source is repeated "ad nauseam".. SORRY ABOUT
THAT, but ONE source doesn't prove ANYTHING!
4TH: The tri-state corner formed by northwes-
tern Rhode Island, northeastern Connecticut,
and southern Massachusetts where so many of
the McIntires (their spelling) lived is quite
a small area. I'm referring to the Glocester-
Windham-Worcester area.5TH: Eunice (Warner)
McIntyre was living with her son Oliver Edwin
in Dunn town, Dane co., Wisc. in the 1870
census. About a month later, all of the young
McIntyre's emigrated by wagons to Fremont co.
BUT "grandma McIntyre" came by train. Damaris
was healthy for 25 more years--so we're of a
mind this means O.E.'s mother. Oh,yes, the
Inmans came to Fremont co., also.Walter
