Jeremiah McGuire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeremiah McGuire (1823 in Isle of Man – October 25, 1889 in Elmira, Chemung County, New York) was an American lawyer and politician.

He came to the United States in 1830. He worked for some time on a farm in Hector, Schuyler County, New York before he started to study the law with H. B. Jackson in Havana, Schuyler County, New York.

As a Democrat, he was a member of the New York State Assembly in 1873 (Schuyler Co.); and in 1875 (Chemung Co.); and was elected Speaker in 1875. He ran for Congress in 1886, but was beaten by T. S. Flood.
