I was told that my relative James McIntire was related to this Alexander McIntire. I have found no evidence of this. A man named Tuttle told me this on the phone. I was told that James born April 22, 1798 in KY, married 1821 to Elizabeth Guthrie, died Oct. 22, 1859 in Monroe Co., Iowa. He had a daughter Mary Ann McIntire b Feb 12, 1830 in Indiana who married Andrew Gillaspie b Feb 12, 1796. This was his 2nd marraige (first was to Minerva Nichols). I was told the Gillaspies and McIntires were together in KY fighting Indians. I cannot locate them. I think that James McIntire had a father named Robert instead of Alexander. Do you have any tie-ins with any of these McIntires? Lee Anderson
