Researching an older branch of my Irish ancestry- oddly i have a bit more detail and even a picture.  I have James Felix McGuire born 1734 (sourced x2 in Find a Grave Index).  His Wife's name was Margaret Elizabeth Black, sources conflict on if they were married in Ireland or the USA.  (but since son John was born in Ireland, woudl think they were married in Ireland- woudl love a source to verify) I know McGuire is a common name, but hoping that the middle name helps and he had a son John McGuire born April 22, 1756 in Dublin.  Would love to know other children's names to add to my tree.  

I have parenst to John Felix McGuire listed as John McGuire and Catherine Mary.  Paternal Grandparents as Constantine McGuire and Julia McElligott.  

I would love any sources, Parish connections, or info on any of these folks!  And addresses of any buildings still standing I can visit on an epic trip 'home' to Irelsnd. Thank you!

John Felix McGuire died in the Battle of Blue Licks Springs, Kentucky USA 19 AUG 1782.

  • Hi Jen, my name is Johnny McGuire. I am a descendent of Lt James Felix through his son Cornelius. I have been doing research here is what I found so far. I am having trouble confirming the line past his great grandfather, James.

  • Hello Johnny!

    Thank you so much for sharing this with me "cousin" ;).  I just saw the reply, the 'message notice' didn't work for some reason.  Rory born in 1590 was the oldest one I had on my tree on ancestry... but yes, gets so hard to confirm sometimes when the records get older if the family was not royalty.

  • Hello Jen I was interested in your message about the McGuire family as I have McGuire connections for some reason, coming from Co. Fermanagh.

    I just checked my ancestry dna matches for the surname McElligott  and BINGO! The first cousin that popped up has exactly the same couple :James Felix McGuire, Lieitenant, born 1734 married to Margaret Elizabeth Black in 1755, who emigrated to Virginia, USA. He died in Maddison, Kentucky in 1782. Constantine is his father, from Co. Fermanagh, whose wife is Julia McElligott also from Co. Fermanagh. McElligott  is the surname I originally put in as a test, because I was confident  that no matches would come up. Obviously I was wrong. The DNA match is a low cM but that would make sense as this is going back to 1661/1663. The McGuires were Chiefs of Fermanagh of course.

    Oh, my dna match is from the American line.

    I find this fascinating as the McGuire name keeps cropping up regularly in my DNA matches and this confirms I definately have the McGuire roots somewhere in my background.

    I am so pleased I saw this post. 

    Best of luck with the research
