MAGILL Connection

Alison Duffy (Email: Alison.Duffy@tn.gov) left this comment on the GC-Gateway Rootsweb, McGill Rootsweb site. Alison says, "Mine (Magill/McGill family) came to America about 1745 from Antrim (Tillucairn?) area. So we may go back to late 1700's. My line descends from Robert Magill born Scotland 1600's.

"His son William was also born in Scotland and Robert with children moved to the plantations in N. Ireland. About 1745, William and his son's emigrated to America where the stayed in Pennsylvania for a while. In mid 1700's William and his brothers split up going all over America.

"His son William II went to VA and later to western NC which became earNC (Late 17Philacousins st Tennessee.) This is my direct line of descent. William II had James, who had Robert who had James Jr who had William. This latest William was my g grandfather. Many Magill's stayed in PA. Others stayed in the northeast US. Still others went west and south to populate the rest of the US territories, states after the Revolutionary War."   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
