New York. Turns out the owners of the mills there in town of New York Mills, the Wolcott and Wetmore families both have Magills in their families who moved there from Middletown, Middlesex CT. <br /> My James Magill b. 1785 is buried in the New York Mills cemitary. His wife Elizabeth Stuart Magill is there too. On of their sons who was born in Ireland and died in NY Mills is named David Boyd Magill. Another son William Alexander Magill married a Briggs who was niece of a Wetmore. <br />A son Hugh Stuart Magill born in 1830 in Ireland moved on to Illinois. Was a friend of Lincoln in Springfield I’ll. Please get in touch with me.

His parents James Magill b 1784 in Downe Co Ire. His wife Elizabeth Stuart/Stewart b. 1792/93 in Scotland. James and Elizabeth came to America in May 1844 and went directly to Whitestown / New York Mills in Oneida Co. NY. With t he with children. James did not show a middle name. However many of his children have middle names that could help me find his parents or related family. His first child was William Alexander Magill b. 1818 m/ Elizabeth Barnes in Whitestown<br /> His second John Magill. Another son was David BOYD Magill who married and later died in Whitestown. <br />The son HUGH STUART Magill b. 1830 in Ireland married Charlotte Amelia Richmond and they had my great grandfather Hugh Stewart Magill b about 1854 and they then moved to Sangamon Co. Illinois. This man’s son Hugh Stewart Jr much later visited Dromore and Gillford in the 1940’s. He had the book As a a The Crow Flies<br />His older brother Charles Franklin Magill was my grandfather <br /> Can anyone recognize this Magill connection and help fill in some answers?

He was born in Clonmel, married a Catherine Benner from Tralee, and was a member of the 30th Mayo Militia. His widow and children immigrated to Canada in the early 1800's. I am trying to tie them back further than Robert....and possibly to their Scottish origins. I can see that some Magills were landed/rich, but Robert seems to have been of a "lower station". Any assistance would be appreciated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01659308359404371275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-6332162812355969362020-02-15T22:34:59.820+00:002020-02-15T22:34:59.820+00:00I'm a Magill living in Northern Ireland.

Given the descendancy from Sir John Magill can we assume that other members of the Magill clan also settled in the area and populated the Magill name throughout Ireland. Can you point me to any research material on this subject. Continue the good work on a must visit every day blog.
