Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   Major Robert McIntyre was a native of Chester county, Pennsylvania, emigrated
to Indiana, and was the first who settled in the territory. As a testimony of
his high moral worth, unbending integrity, and strong mind, he was selected by
his fellow citizens of Washington county, Indiana, as a delegate to form the
state constitution. He removed to Fountain county in 1835, and was subsequently
elected and reelected to the state legislature. Up to the time of his death he
carried a bullet, and bore the marks of a wound received while contending with
the enemy as a major in the Indian battle, upon the sanguinary field of
Tippecanoe. He died at the residence of William Harris, near Keosauqua, Iowa
Territory, on October 17, 1848, at the age of eighty years.
