His father was Zachariah McGuire, his mother was Susanna (maiden name unconfirmed). He did have a grandson named Allegany Vawter, son of his daughter, Rhoda.<br /><br />Allegany's RW pension does have many details. There was no "battle" of Williamsburg, though. And while he did march to York, VA, that would have been during his first tour and in 1776-1777, several years before the Battle of Yorktown. Allegany left the service after the Battle of Gates Defeat in South Carolina in August 1780. He returned to Henry County, Virginia where he married in 1782 and in late 1784 he moved to Georgia.<br /><br />If you would like additional detail, please let me know.<br />Jim McGuire<br />jmcguire3562nc.rr.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501414029499896363noreply@blogger.com
