Thomas Maguire, a native of Enniskillen in County Fermanagh, Ireland, came to the United States in 1849 and settled at Dunleith, now East Dubuque, Illinois, in 1860, where he was still a merchant when the 1911 history was written. He and his wife Ellen (Groff) Maguire, who died in 1896, were the parents of Dr. John E. Maguire, born at Dunleith in 1870, who graduated from the medical department of the State University of Iowa in 1893 and practiced in Dubuque, serving as county physician. The same 1911 history also sketches Daniel E. Maguire, born at East Dubuque in 1877, who helped his father on the farm and in the store there before taking a law degree from the Iowa State University in 1903 and practicing in Dubuque. Every fact below is cited to the public-domain 1911 History of Dubuque County.
