My John Wiley McIntyre/McIntire was supposed to have been born in Spartanburg, Spartanburg, SC. Haven't been able to varify it however. He did have a sister named Margaret and maybe some brothers but that's ALL I have been able to find out. His first wife was named Margaret Findley/Findley and I know that we are supposed to be related to "some Wilsons" on that side of the family. If she is John 's sister, her parents are Myrna and Zachary Taylor McIntire/McIntyre and that is how they spelled their last name originally before they came to Texas! McIntyre is how it appears on the tombstone, but as we Southern genealogists already know, spelling don't matter...
