Notes

This man is a verified DAR Patriot.

His son is listed as James whose wife was Rillia Poston.

The applications list this James, Sr.'s father as Alexander d 1784 and his wife Jean.

[Ed. note: The following abstracts of McEntire family records were accumulated during my efforts(Daniel McIntire) to determine the identity of John McEntire, wagonmaker, who was charged as the father of her child by widow Anna (White) Mode in 1824. In the course of this investigation I soon concluded that part of what has been stated and written about the McEntire family by others has been riddled with inaccuracies. I am sharing this data in hopes that the level of truth about this family may be elevated.]Repository:
