(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:

 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.
