Dorothy, I tried the soundex but to no avail. Maybe you could try the Orange County, NY (Goshen)naturalization records and see if they tell when he may have arrived. I'm trying to find some of my Maguire's in Orange County, too, who were also from Ireland. In the 1860 Orange County census, it lists that John Maguire was from Co. Down. There are various spellings for Maguire so it is often difficult to locate but can be done. Last summer we traveled to Orange County and visited Newburg as well. It is quite lovely. There is a nice Catholic Church and cemetery in Newburgh....St. Patricks. Did you family settle in Newburgh? We can keep looking if you have other suggestions. Sorry that I could not be of more help! Best regards, Elizabeth Culhane Fairport, New York

Dear Elizabeth, Yes, I grew up in Newburgh and we belonged to St. Patrick's parish. My father, husband and son all went to St. Patrick's school. All were taught by the same first grade teacher, Kitty Walsh. All my ancestors are buried in Calvary cemetery. I don't live there anymore, I live in fishkill, NY Where in Orange Co. were your Maguires from? did you try the Newburgh Free Library? It's on line. (http://www.newburghlibrary.org/) the address is 124 Grand St, Newburgh, NY 12550, phone 845-563-3601. I have gone to the library and found most of my information. I have gone to goshen, but didn't think about naturalization records, I did find records of property my grandparents owned and a house that my g-grandmother, Margaret McEvoy McVeigh bought in 1870. If I can help you with information on Newburgh let me know.
