I wonder if anyone has found this William to be a brother of Christiana McGuire Gatliff b. 1755 VA. Christiana McGuire and her children were also prisoners in Canada and were released under the same circumstances. Christiana is buried, I believe, in Whitley Co KY where Capt Charles Gatliff is buried. No one has ever been able to find Christiana's parents or any brothers or sisters. I have read where Capt Charles Gatliff did "rub shoulders" with a William McGuire but no relationship could be found. Just thought I would see if there was any more historical data on William McGuire. <snip> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
