CHARLES McINTYRE, a pioneer of California, came to this State in 1850. He
crossed the plains, via St. Joseph, Missouri, spending two months in Salt Lake
City and Utah. He came overland as a companion of General George E. Groves, who
came to California for his health. Their route from Salt Lake City lay through
Carson and the Humboldt river route. At the head of the latter river they found
a pack team and came into California at Ringgold, two and one-half miles from
Weberville, and about the same distance from Hangtown. Our subject engaged in
mining from February to July, in 1851, on Bear river, with indifferent success,
however. He then engaged in the hotel business in Sacramento, until February,
1852, when he engaged in farming in Santa Cruz county until 1865, since which
time he has been farming near Castroville, on the Cooper ranch.

  The subject of this sketch is of Scotch descent, and was born in Batton,
Warren county, New York, May 15, 1830. His father, Garner McIntyre, was a farmer
of that town, who married Mariah Putnam, a lineal descendant of General Israel
Putnam, and a native of New York. Garner McIntyre emigrated to Dane county,
Wisconsin, in 1848, and of his nine children our subject is the fifth born.

  Our subject married, in 1860, Miss M. J. Buelna, a native daughter of
California, born of Spanish parents, at Santa Cruz, February 15, 1843. Mr. and
Mrs. McIntyre have had fifteen children, namely: Frank M., born December 1,
1861; John B., born June 24, 1863; Cordelia M., born March 12, 1865, and is now
Mrs. William Gowanlock, of Salinas, and has two children,-Annie, born October
20, 1885, and Charles William, born July 27, 1887. The third child of our
subject is Charles G., born December 1, 1866; next, William Henry, September 19,
1868; Jennie, August 9, 1870; Hiram J., January 28,1873; Annie, September 25,
1874; Josie, April 16, 1876; Martha, January 23, 1878; Nellie, July 8, 1879;
George, December 11, 1880; Maggie, August 4, 1882; Addie, August 26,1884; Eva
M., June 17,1888. Frank, the eldest, married Annie Bacon, of Salinas, and has
three children,-Inez, born February 17, 1886; Eunice, June 16, 1887; and Vernie,
November 10, 1888. The second child, John, married Laura Bennett, of Soledad.
Mr. McIntyre is one of the substantial farmers of Castroville, and is highly
respected in Monterey.
