Fred and Margaret McGuire had a son they named John in the beautiful country of Ireland in the county of Fermanagh. John married Ellen O'Brian and the potato famine forced them to come to America. They came via Ellis Island and settled in Voluntown where John was a laborer. The McGuire family still has strong roots in Voluntown and hope they always do.

Clues
Find Robbins Cementery.

Locate the flag pole in the cementery and park wherever you would like.

Walk to the flag pole and face the center of town. Take a bearing of 20 degrees and walk until you find Paul and Lillian McGuire, great-grandchildern of John.

Take a bearing of 270 degrees and walk until you find John's children (we think). Stay at 270 degrees until you get to a large round shrub or hedge.

You should be standing at 6 o'clock walk clockwise until you reach 12 o'clock.

Reach behind the back left corner of the last McGuire stone and find an Irish Immigrant.
