Dorothy,
I tried the soundex but to no avail. Maybe you could try the Orange County,
NY (Goshen)naturalization records and see if they tell when he may have
arrived. I'm trying to find some of my Maguire's in Orange County, too, who were
also from Ireland. In the 1860 Orange County census, it lists that John Maguire
was from Co. Down. There are various spellings for Maguire so it is often
difficult to locate but can be done.

Last summer we traveled to Orange County and visited Newburg as well. It is
quite lovely. There is a nice Catholic Church and cemetery in Newburgh....St.
Patricks. Did you family settle in Newburgh?

We can keep looking if you have other suggestions. Sorry that I could not be
of more help!

Best regards,
