William McIntire - His Ancestry

Not much is known about William McIntire before 1837, at least that can be proven. We do know that the Thomas family were in the Thomasville, MO area by 1818 (today Oregon Co., MO). However, before the formation of Oregon County, the land belonged to Ripley County and Wayne Co., MO. At one time, the area was also claimed by Arkansas. Since Jane Thomas, his future wife, was living in the Thomasville area, it is believed that they married near here in the late 1820's.

The 1830 Jefferson Co., Missouri Census does list 2 William McIntires, one of which might be our William, but at this time, we can't say with certainity. Jefferson County was formed in 1818 from Ste. Genevieve and St. Louis. This county is on the Mississippi River, North-North-East of present-day Oregon County.

In 1837, we find William and his wife, Jane buying land just south of Thomasville, MO, in what was then Ripley County, Missouri, which was formed in 1833 from Wayne Co., MO.

Sometime between October and Decmeber 1847, both William and his wife, Jane, died - leaving several orphaned children. By the 1850 census, these children are divided between their sister and my direct ancestor, Susan Ann (McIntire) who had married Jesse Jobe on May 11, 1846 in Oregon Co., MO and their uncle Andrew Jackson 'Jack' Thomas, brother to their mother. He had married Nancy Alice Renfro in 1835 in Ripley Co., MO. By 1852, the Susan would also died and cause the children to be divided again.

During the civil war, two of these McIntire children would give their life for the Confederate cause. William Jr. was killed at the Battle of Cornith and Walter was killed at the Battle of Shiloh.

Chronology

Thomas Family

Jane Thomas was born about 1811 somewhere near Smith or Jackson Co., TN to Ephriam Thomas and Maria Catharina 'Caty' Diel. Most of the Thomas researchers list her as Tamor/Tamar Jane Thomas, but as of yet, I have not located any actual record with the name Tamar on it.

Jane's parents had married February 1, 1791 in Franklin Co., Virginia and they lived here until about 1799-1800. From 1800-1810, it is believed that the Thomas family lived in Smith and Jackson Co., TN, before moving to Chester, Illinois about 1815 where they lived for about 2 years, and then to Thomasville, Missouri about 1818. Jane's parents appear on the 1830 Wayne Co., Missouri census and on the 1840 Ripley Co., MO census.
