Magill's - Lisbon, Saint Lawrence County, NY...

"I am looking for any who may have information on the Magills from Lisbon, Saint Lawrence County, New York. According to records I have been able to uncover, the family was composed of Hugh and Jane Magill, and sons of Edward, Hugh, John, and Joseph, and daughters Betty and Mary. Hugh Magill died on May 7, 1848, he was 83 years of age. His sons: Edward died on April 7, 1899 at 72 years of age John (1833-1896) Joseph died Feb 11,1889 at 76 years of age. Betty, dates unknown. I am conducting research on the Magill family from Lisbon,New York. I was hoping you could help me in the matter. I and another Magill descendant, Emma Remmington (She is descended from Edward Magill) have been trying to determine where in Ireland the Magills are from. I am hoping that you could provide a clue that in some way to determine where in Ireland. Robert Kerr married Hugh and Jane's daughter, Mary Magill. I suspect that the Magills followed the Kerrs to Lisbon. According to Naturalization Records, Robert Kerr arrived in USA in 1834. They had there first child Jane that year. From what I can determine, The Magills did not arrive until the 1840's. I see from the 1865 Bears Atlas maps that the Magills and the Kerrs lived across the road from one another. Want to hear something funny? Emma's son, without any prior knowledge, bought the Magill farm. Is there anything you can do to help me and Emma. You'll be surprise that smallest clue can make a difference. I REALLY hope you can help. Short of going to Lisbon to conduct research there, I have hit a brick wall. I live in the Los Angeles Area." -- Ruben Macias - WMIAL: carpediem2@earthlink.net   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
