General Notes: Husband - Philip McGuire


He came to Crawford County, Pennsylvania, from Ireland at an early day, settling in Beaver Township, and after the war of 1812 removed to Summit Township, where he purchased 300 acres of land, and remained there the rest of his days. His family consisted of six sons and one daughter.

He and his family were among the early settlers in Beaver township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, and afterward moved to Summit township, and resided on the farm upon which the Catholic church would later stand. Mr. McGuire donated the land for the church and cemetery and also a hundred acres in Beaver township, which was to be sold, the proceeds going toward the erection of the church. They came from Ireland and located on two hundred acres of land near Harmonsburg.
