Hello, it's been a while since your post.I am wondering if you can help me.I am descended from Lt. William McGuire through his son John (Married to Jane/Jenny Shrader).Their son William McGuire, married to Lucretia Gillenwater(s) was my gr-gr-grandfather.
My Granddad McGuire never talked much, or seemed to know much, about the McGuires, and I suspect it may be because his father, Alexander Gratton McGuire, was orphaned young and raised by his maternal grandparents, the Gillenwaters.
I am trying to learn more about William McGuire, married to Lucretia Gillenwaters.He died about 1865, we know this because she remarried (Dempsey Smith) and she claimed to be a widow.Was William perhaps a Civil War vet?
If you can help in any way, I would be very grateful.
