Barbara, There was no state of Ohio, let alone a Lawrence Co. in 1776.
Earliest recorded settlers along this stretch of the Ohio River were in the
late 1790's. He may have been born in 1776 but very unlikely to have been
born in Ohio. Lawrence Co. wasn't organized until 1817.

On that 1820 census that entry has 1 male under 10, 1 male 16-26, 1 male over
45, 2 females 16-26, and 1 female over 45. From that you get that he was
born in 1775 or earlier, as was his wife. With three children in the 16-26
age range, they had to have been married sometime in the mid to late 1790s.

Ohio wasn't organized as a state until 1803. At that time the area which is
now Lawrence Co was partially in Scioto Co. and partially in Gallia
Co.Fayette Township was part of Gallia Co.

Hugh McIntire was taxed for personal property in 1818, but not in 1821, and
was not in Lawrence Co in the 1830 census.

Fayette Township is the southern tip of the state of Ohio, and the Big Sandy
River, which divides KY from WV, enters the Ohio River across from that
southern point. The rivers were major transportation routes in those days.
