Charles Magill of Greene Co. TN

My Great Great Grandparents are William Byers Magill (1819 - 1892) and Martha Jane Gragg (1822 - 1885) both born in Clay Co., Mo. They married 5 jan 1843 clay co., mo. The interesting part is they raised with their children an adopted son, Leonidius Pete Wilson (1857 - 1938). Family lore has that Pete's mother died either in child birth or shortly after. His father left Pete with the Magill's until he could provide a home for him, and he reguested his name not be changed. He never returned. The Magills came to Texas about 1860. I found them on census in 1860, Cooke Co., Texas. In 1870 in Milam co. TX. They are buried in Marlow Cemetery, Milam Co., TX. Pete grew to manhood and was a postal worker in Cameron, TX. He too is buried in the same cemetery. I do not have Pete's father's name. " -- Rootsweb Message Baord - McGill/Magill
