There is a Hugh McGuire who served from NY in the Revolution but, oddly, he doesn't appear to have ever applied for a pension. In 1840 Sarah Teneick had both a male and a female in the 90-100 age group in her household. -----Original Message----- From: Meadowland PTO [mailto:pto4us@verizon.net] Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 9:33 PM To: NYDELAWA@rootsweb.com Subject: [NYDELAWA] Unique Revolutionary War Vet in Delaware in 1840 Hugh Maguire (or McGuire as spelling varied back then), lived in Eastern Delaware (Davenport area) from just after 1800 until his death sometime after 1840. Hugh has a rather interesting story, as he was an estated Irishman who was force-conscripted into the British army about 1775, but detested the purpose and snuck away the first night encamped near New York City. He joined the American forces and fought the rest of the War on the other side. What I'm trying to discover is exactly when he died. I know he was living with the Teneick family for the 1840 census (Sarah as housewife) and was over 95 at that time; but I haven't seen his name on any cemetery records, for example. -Marc
