From Frederica Holmes Trapnell 1968 biography of John Macky

The second Edward McGuire “was born in Winchester in July 1767. He was bred to the business of a merchant, entering first the store of Col. Dowdell in Winchester with whom he remained several years.   After attaining the age of 20, he began business for himself at Battletown, now Berryville, and was so successful as to be able to also to open stores at Winchester and in North Carolina.  Desiring to retire, he sold his three stores for 8000 Virginia currency, but fraudulent behavior on the part of the purchaser prevented him from receiving any of the purchase money for a long time and brought him to acute financial embarrassment.  In 1805, he commenced keeping the large hotel in Winchester (which had been built by his father and previously rented to various innkeepers), made a very comfortable fortune, paid all his debts and supported and liberally educated his children.

“He was a quiet man, apparently stern to those who did not know him well; but in reality sociable and hospitable, and generous and charitable to the needy.  His son said, in his own old age, that his father was the most strictly truthful man he had ever known.” (Stanard, p. 32-33.)

He died on November 23 at his home in “Woodville,” near Berryville.  Standard and the Frederick Parish Register, 1825-42, both say he died in 1827, but his will was dated the 12th of November, 1828, and was proved on December first of that year.  It provided for payment of his debts and then his estate was to be divided equally among all his children, except that over and above their equal share, his daughter Rebecca Macky was to have $500., his son Edward D. McGuire, a Negro boy named Bill; his son John Samuel McGuire, $500. Towards completion of his education.  His son Hugh H. McGuire and his son-in-law Alexander S. Tidball (a lawyer and the husband of his daughter Millicent) were the executors. (Fred. Co. WIll Bk. 15, p. 19.)
