Hi Jack, I have parts of your answer in my Adams, Montgomery, Platt and Ryan lines. True to form, the late Brenda Wallace has all the McGuire kids at her Rootsweb posted family tree. Brenda's info in double brackets [[. I can't thank Brenda's family enough for leaving her family tree at Rootsweb. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=wallace09 The short answer is Agnes Wilt Burns was the daughter of Cecelia Wharton and her second husband Joseph Wilt. That would make her the half-sister to Mary McGuire Trout, but listed as her sister in her obit. Agnes Wilt married an Irishman named John Burns. They are found on the family farm in the Michigan census records beginning 1880 Washtenaw County and on to 1920. In 1930, the widow Agnes Burns is with three of her unmarried children in Detroit. Brenda Wallace has an obit for Mary's brother Francis Xavier. Note his obit does not mention half-siblings. - - - Altoona Tribune, September 22, 1922, pg. 16 col. 5 and 6. Francis A. McGuire, a retired farmer of St. Augustine, Cambria Co., died at 12:30 yesterday afternoon at the home of his son, Richard P. McGuire, 411 Thirteenth Ave. this city of complications of diseases: after a shortillness. He was born at St. Augustine December 8, 1849 and had been a farmer practically all of his life.
