About Philip McIntire, Sr.
Biography
Philip McIntyre, Sr. was born circa August 6, 1630 in Scotland. His parents were Malcom R. McIntire and Farala McInlay (McInlay) McIntire.
Philip married Mary (unknown) McIntyre on September 6, 1666 in Reading, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States. Together they had the following children: David McIntyre; Philip McIntyre II; Thomas McIntyre, Sr.; Daniel McIntyre; Mary McIntyre, Rich; Sarah (McIntire) Pudney; Jonathan McIntire; John McIntire; Samuel McIntyre; Ebenezer McIntire.
He died on December 19, 1719 in Reading, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States and was buried there.
When Philip arrived in America he had to work 7 years as an indentured servant to work off the expense of his passage and sustenance on the ship Unity. He settled in the northeastern part of Reading, Mass., within a few miles of the town of Salem. Philip was satisfied to put his fighting days behind him and settle down. That was 1665. The following year he drew land in the Division of the "Great Swamp" when the town of Reading ordered that the "Great Swamp" and all other swamps that are wet and fit to make meadows shall be divided, quantity & quality considered to every man' proportion.
Sept. 6, 1666, Philip married a girl named Mary (surname unknown). They made their home there and had 10 children.
In 1685, the town decided that all persons inhabit on the north side of Ipewich River in the town bounds shall have those two pieces of common land that lay at the upper end of Mr. Billingham's farm that belongs to the town. Philip was one of the eight inhabitants living in this precinct to receive a grant. Three years later he contributed 3 pounds toward the erection of a new meeting house.
On April 14, 1719, Philip signed his homestead in Reading over to his son, David. Philip died a few months later and was buried there.
A family tradition relates that he was the son of Ebenezer MACKINTIRE, of Argyle, in the Highlands of Scotland, and that Phillip MACKINTIRE was one of a large no. of prisoners sent to this country after the battle of Dunbar, 3 Sep 1650, or Worcester, 3 Sep 1651....

Philip MacKentire was born between 1627 and 1630 in Argyle County, Scotland. As Philip reached adulthood, the British Isles were torn apart by the English Civil War. Oliver Cromwell had defeated the Royalists and beheaded Charles I, son of the Scottish king James VI. In 1650 Cromwell and his troops marched north to subdue the Scots. After taking Edinburgh, the troops engaged in battle with 13,000 Scot Royalists at Dunbar. Within the first hour of battle 3,000 Scots were dead and the remainder taken as prisoners. Half the prisoners were released due to injury and exhaustion; the other half were held at the Cathedral of Durham. Philip, along with Micum and Robert MacIntyre (possibly his brothers), were among those held in Durham. Cromwell's forces decided to kill all officers and every tenth private. The remainder would be sent to the colonies as indentured servants. Philip, Micum and Robert were among those who set sail for America 11 November 1650 aboard the Unity. Arriving in Massachusetts in late December 1650, Philip served his seven year indenture and settled in Reading, MA. He married Mary Nichols on 6 September 1666 in Reading and they had 11 children. Philip died in December of 1719 in Reading.
