Surnames: McIntire/McIntyre/McEntire/McEntyre Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xkz.2ACEB/195.1.1.3.1.1 Message Board Post: Margaret's parents may have been Zachary Taylor McIntyre/McIntyre/McEntyre/McEntire and her mother may have been Myrna Crocker McIntyre who was born in Spartanburg Co., SC before the Civil War. The origins of Zachary Taylor McIntyre, I am still seeking. One of her brothers would have been John Wylie McIntire who died in Ladonia, Delta County, TX of a heart attack April 17,1934, that he sustained while he was out fox hunting and his horse came back to the house without him. McEntires I have seen have a history of circulatory problems and such. If any of these names sound familiar, please advise ASAP! I do remember people in my family saying something about Aunt Margaret and the cousins but those folk are unfortunately long gone. And we have had other members of the family who tried to misrepresent their origins and make themselves more exalted. I just want the truth myself. Do you happen to have a photo of Margaret? If she is related to me, the part of Texas where she would have been: Lamar, Delta. Red River, Fannin Counties in Texas... There apparently were McEntire kin in Antlers, OK and in Widner, AR. My McEntire/McIntyre/McIntire/McEntyre search appears to have hit the brick wall and that is a shame because Richard McEntire was one of the earliest settlers of North Central Texas.He married into the Merritt and Stone famillies, old and very distinguished Southern families.
