In all there were 7 siblings in the family, three I know came to Scandia or nearby. They include Daniel McGuire, Catherine McGuire Hay and Margaret McGuire Lowden (narried to James). Their youngest sibling, Jessie or Janet McGuire was born on April 20, 1852 in Saltcoats, Ayr, Scotland. I have her in Scotland thru the 1861 Census and other info. She may have gone to England, married and also came to America. Do you want to continue this exchange by email to see if we have a match?
