FIND A GRAVE:
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=38671328
"John D. McEntire enlisted in 1864 as a Pvt in Co F, Freeman's Regiment, Missouri Cavalry, CSA. According to his Muster Rolls at discharge he had dark eyes, dark hair, had a fair complexion and was 5 feet 11 inches tall."
BIRTH PLACE:
In the census John D. McEntire says twice that he was born in Missouri. He says that his parents were born in Indiana. John D. McEntire's children say in the census that their father was born in Missouri (6 times), in Indiana (2 times,) and in Tennessee (4 times). The death certificates of the children say Missouri once and Tennessee once.
Mariah Jane McEntire says three times in the census that she was born in Indiana. She says that her parents were born in Indiana. Her daughter Jennie says 4 times that her mother was born in Indiana. Another daughter Mattie says Missouri twice and Arkansas once.
I think we can say with reasonable certainty that Mariah Jane was born in Indiana. She was born about 1842. At some point the family moved to Missouri. John was born in 1844. If he was born in Missouri, then the family moved in the interval 1842-44.
I cannot find these 2 children in the 1850 census, and I cannot identify their parents. I suspect that by the time Mariah Jane married in 1859 both she and her brother were orphans.
