Richard McEntire, Elzey Powell, Laura Jane Lovelace

* Note, there are some "format breaks" in this page. Scroll to bottom of page to see all of the information contained for Richard and Elzey.

(Fern McEntire Price, FredMcEntire, Richard)

Fred McEntire's father was Richard William McEntire, born May 30, 1959 to Ransom(e) and Rosa Whitter (Whitworth) McEntire.

My mother, Fern, called Richard, "Grandpa Dick."  Family lore has it that he was into "moon-shining" along with other questionable activities. Allegedly, he fled to Arkansas to escape prosecution during raids that were taking place in Rutherford and Cleveland County. This is where family lore says Elzey Powell died.

 Richard's father, Ransom, is buried in the Zion Church Cemetery and his mother, Rosa, is buried in the Union Baptist Church Cemetery both in Cleveland County, NC. Near each grave are members of the GOLD family.

Google Books provides a source that reveals the political climate of the time: Reports of committees: 30th Congress, 1st session - 48th Congress, 2nd session The following source is testimony concerning the assault on Aaron Biggerstaff (whose wife was a GOLD). Both McEntire and Gold names are mentioned. I'm also posting the link for this source below:

Richard is buried in the Peniel Baptist Church Cemetery in Polk County NC. He rests near his son (Laura Jane), Marshall Neal McEntire. (Notice the spelling variations used by different family members: McEntyre.)

 Laura Jane Lovelace McEntire, the second wife of Richard McEntire
(first wife - Elzey Powell)



Last woman sitting on right holding infant is Laura Jane McEntire. The man behind her and slightly to her left is Richard William McEntire.

I like to think that one of the boys in front is surely Fred or Saney, but these children have not been identified.

  1. Thank you for adding my grandparents to your blog, And keeping the flames of history real. Grandpa Vete spelled his name as we all did with and "Iy", McIntyre. All throughout the family various family members spelled it different. Jean McIntyre Cogdell

  2. So true on the spellings Jean. In my mom's own family, I saw signatures of: McEntire, McIntyre, McIntire, McEntyre---even among siblings and cousins! In researching this line, the various spellings have always add to the chase (as I know you know so well). I love all the diligent work you've shared on Ancestry. Thanks so much and happy hunting, cousin!
