The name was brought to America predominately by Irish immigrants. One of the first fore fathers to bring this name to America is that of a Daniel McGuire, who emigrated to America aboard the barque Sally; he settled in Philadelphia. This name is the three-hundredth and ninety-third most numerous name in America. ...
