Thomas
McEntire emigrated with James McEntire, Sr. (most likely a brother) from
Tyrone County, Ireland shortly after the Revolution. He resided near Old
Fort, now in McDowell County, and was a member of the Legislature in 1802. He
served Burke County as its ninth and eleventh Sheriff in the years 1792-1795
and 1798-1801, respectively. |

He
had three sons and three daughters: James, William, John, Jennie, Mary,
Martha. Upon is death all of his sons moved to Georgia, most likely due to
land grants that were provided to them. Two of his daughters married grandsons
of James Greenlee, Burke's third High Sheriff. Mary married James H. Greenlee
of Turkey Cove, and Martha married John H. Greenlee, son of Ephriam Greenlee.
