Daniel McIntire and his wife, who was a Miss Weaver, were natives of
Virginia, but removed to Kentucky and settled near Lexington.  They
had: Charles W., Roland, Duskin, William, Catharine, Frances, Jane and
Elizabeth.  Charles W. settled in Callaway County, MO., in 1819, and 
in Audrain County in 1836.  He was married in July, 1829, to Margaret
Harrison, of Callaway County, and they had: Donald, Thomas, William,
Eliza, Cynthia and Nancy.  Mr. McIntire was very fond of a joke, and
never let an opportunity pass to indulge in one; but he got badly sold
on a certain occasion.  The people of Callaway County had been taunt-
ing the citizens of Audrain, and saying they had no money, and in 
order to convince them that there was some money in Audrain, he gave a
man a $20 gold piece, and told him to go into Callaway and show it to
everybody he could see, and tell them it was from Audrain.  The fellow
took the money and departed, and is doubtless showing it around yet, 
as he never returned it to its owner.  On another occasion Mr. McIntire
endeavored to borrow the entire revenue of the county from the Sheriff,
who was conveying it to Jefferson City.  It consisted of $32 in money
and six wolf scalps.  Roland McIntire was born in Fleming County, KY.,
in 1800.  He married Maria Hunter, of Ohio, and settled in Audrain 
County, MO., in 1831.  He hewed the logs to build his house, and while
they were lying in the woods some Indians set the woods on fire, and 
the logs were burnt black, rendering them unfit, in that condition, for
use.  Mr. McIntire and a party of his neighbors pursued the Indians,
and caught and whipped them, to learn them not to do so another time.
He then hewed his logs again and built his house.  He had eight child-
ren: Roland Jr., Marvin, Amanda, Laura, Mary, Fleming, Catharine and
Redmon.  Duskin and William McIntire remained in Kentucky.  Catharine
married Lewis Day, who settled in Audrain County in 1830.  The widow
of Frank McIntire lives in Fulton, MO.  Jane married James McClannahan,
of Callaway County.  Elizabeth married Wiley Reynolds, of the same
county.
