Irene, First proof has to be determined because Charles McIntire was drafted into the Virginia Continental Line on March 1778. At this time he would have been over 50 if he was born 1720 - 1724 as most reports indicate. I have copies of the muster and pay roll records for Charles McIntire that served in the Virginia Continental Line and will provide you copies of the if interested. Second, Elender Evans Alexander was the wife of Walter Alexander of Maryland who died about August 1778 and she remarried in 1782. Widow Elender Evans Alexander was not the wife of Charles McIntire since he was married to an Elender before 1772 where she gives consent for Charles to sell land. Third, the Charles McIntire that served in the Virginia Navy on the galley "Hero" served a full three years and was entitled to land bounty. His service was from June 1776 to July 1779 according to Library of Virginia records. Bob Sapp
