My original Alguire ancestor in the New World came from Wurttemburg Germany docking in Philadelphia October 21, 1749. (The name then was spelled Allgeier, and over time ended up as it is today.) From what I can determine, they were Huguenots who had emigrated to western Germany from Eastern France in the 1500's. Once they came to the New World, they ended up in SE Ontario (Canada) in the 1770's as Tories, and it wasn't long before the guys started marrying Scottish women. From what we can determine, I am a bit more than 50% Scot, but it's a bit murky.

My dad and grandad were very proud of being Pennsylvania Deutsch (even if they were both mostly Scot)!
