• Notes

  Pioneer Irish in New England CHAPTER XIII page 217 The name Guire turns up frequently in Fairfield County, Conn., records. Eleanor Guire, daughter of Luke of Fairfield, was born about 1691; Mary Guire, daughter of Luke, was born about 1695, and Hannah, daughter of Luke Guire , was baptised at Fairfield on April 19, 1697, and they married into Fairfield families named Turney, Stewart and Hall, respectively. Luke Guire married Rebecca Odell, daughter of John and Mary Odell of Stratford. In 1699 Luke Guire (2) , his brothers, Eben and John, and three sisters were mentioned in Fairfield County probate records, and on February 3, 1716, Samuel Hall conveyed to Luke Guire (2) lands in Fairfield formerly owned by Luke Guire (1). History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield, ed. by Donald Lines Jacobus, Vol. 1, parts 1 to 6.59. These people are mentioned here because I am convinced that the family name originally was McGuire. Many Irish families are known to have dropped the prefix Mac or O after coming to the colonies; in at least one instance, that of a Guire or Guier family in Gloucester, Mass., their immigrant ancestor was called Maguier, and some of the descendants of one Patrick McGuire, who came from Ireland and settled at Falmouth, Maine, in the early part of the eighteenth century, are known as Makquier and Quire. - On Oct. 26, 1692, Robert Sillman and Nathan Adams exchange land, lots to run back to land once the property of Edward Adams and Joseph Patchen, both deceased, now owned by Nathan Adams - Fairfield L.R.,v.A:355. Abraham, Nathan, Daniel, David and John Adams and Luke Guire, son-in-law of Edward Adams, divide land of Edward Adams and Joseph Patchen. - Ibid.,v.3:227.
