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
