I'm looking for info on three families that lived in or near Esquesing twp in the 1800s

David and Elizabeth (nee Mackay) McGuire arrived in Esquesing in 1862/3 after living in New Jersey near New York City for a few years. Their first two kids, Rebecca Jane (1859) and David (1862) were born in New Jersey. The rest of the kids, William Murray (1863), Elizabeth (1865), Sarah Ann (1869), Zellah (1872) and George (1877) were born in Esquesing.

John and Isabella (nee Robertson) Menzies arrived in Esquesing about 1817 from Scotland. Their first two kids, Isabella (1811) and Duncan (1815?) were born in Scotland. The rest of the kids, John (1819?), Alexander (1823) and Catharine (1827) were born in Esquesing.

George Wright was born in Brighton, Ontario about 1833, but married Catharine Menzies in Esquesing in 1858. They had 4 kids in Esquesing, Martha (1859), Isabella (1860), George (1865) and Annie (1870). Isabella would marry David McGuire (jr) in 1886 in Toronto.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
