Note for:   Charles Empenson McIntyre,   ABT 1724 -          Index

Notes for CHARLES EMPENSON MCINTYRE:


Charles McIntire, born 1724, died prior to 21 October 1783. Married (1)Miss Coley,


in Ireland. Nothing is known of this wife. On 11 November 1769 at Christ Episcopal Church,


Philadelphia, Pa., Married (2) Ann Sullivan, birth date unknown died before 1772.


By May 1772 Charles had married (3) Jean Stewart, in Ireland. By 21 May 1777 had


married for the fourth time, again in America. Whether Jean Stewart McIntyre was


still living is unknown. Charles' fourth wife was Eleanor (Evans) Alexander, daughter


of Robert Evans of Cecil County, Maryland and Westmorland County, PA.


Little is known about Charles Mcintire. His ancestors were undoubtedly of


Scottish birth, and came to Ireland in the late 1600's as a result of the Highland


clan wars and Scotland's war with England. Whether Charles came to America with


others of his family or alone is not known. There were numerous other McIntyre's


who came from Ireland at about the same time. Charles settled at, or near, Philadelphia


and all or most of his children were born there. Charles was a seaman, perhaps


arriving in America as a crewman. During the French and Indian War, and later in the


Revolutionary War, Charles served on the ship "HERO", a warship or privateer of the


Colony of Virginia. The crew were legal pirates authorized to capture and pillage


British shipping. There are two versions of Charles McINTIRE's other military service


during the Revolutionary War. One version says that some of the Hero's crew went ashore


in Philadelphia and were impressed into the Continental Army. A second version says


Charles voluntarily entered the Continental Army and served for some 20 months, in


addition to the more than two years he served in the Virginia Navy. As a result of his


military service, he received two grants of land, totalling some 519 Acres on Sleepy Cree,


Frederick County, Virginia, now just inside the boundary line of Berkeley County, WV.


By 1773 Charles had purchased or was granted land in the West Augusta District of Virginia,


later Monongalia and Harrison Counties, WV. Charles and some of his sons built a cabin and


fort-of sorts near the present site of Enterprise, Harrison County, Va. Within a short


time Indian degradations caused them to return to the previous settlement at Federick County. Some say this is when Charles entered the Continental Army. When the Indian threat subsided, Charles' children returned to their property in Harrison County, except for one son, Thomas, who remained in Virginia.

Marriage Notes for CHARLES MCINTYRE and JEAN STEWART:


They lived in Tiermacrorah, Cloncha Parish, Raphoe Diocese, County Donegal,


Kingdom of Ireland. They lived at Horne Head, which is on the northwest Coast\ of Ireland,


some 30 Miles west of Londonderry. Today Londonderry is in Northern Ireland (British


Control), and Horne Head is in the Republic Ireland.
