Notes:

From Encyclopedia of Virginia:

James McGuire was living in county Fermanagh, Ireland, but owning to political or religious disturbances there in 1641 it is said he left his won native heath and settled near Tralee, McElligott parish, of county Kerry, in Southwest Ireland. Said James McGuire married Cecelia McNamara Reagh, had two sons, John Sigismund and Constantine. John Sigismund McGuire, son of James McGuire, entered the service of the Austrian army in which he had several kinsmen; he was lieutenant-governor of Dresden in 1760, Count of the Holy Roman Empire, and "Lieutenant-general in their Majesties service," which position enabled him to offer military commissions to his less fortunate kinsmen.
