Portrait and Biographical Album of
Huron County, Michigan
Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [314-315]

           JAMES McALLISTER, farmer, section 1, Bingham Township, was born
        June 17, 1831, in Glasgow, Scotland.  His parents, JAMES and JANE
        (PAUL) McALLISTER, emigrated from Scotland to Peel Co., Ont., in
        1842, where he was bred to the occupation in which he has passed
        his life. He remained on the home farm until he was 27 years old,
        coming to Michigan in 1859. He became proprietor by purchase of
        400 acres of Government land, on which he was actively engaged for
        several years in lumbering. He still retains ownership of his
        original acreage, and has improved 140 acres. He suffered mater-
        ially in the fires of 1871 and 1881.
           MR. McALLISTER is a Republican in political faith.  He has
        officiated as Supervisor and Treasurer of his township, and is the
        present Justice of the Peace (1884), which office he has held many
        years.
           He was married Dec. 25, 1862, in Verona Township, Huron County,
        to MARGARET SCOTT.  The following children constitute the issue of
        this union:  JAMES, JANE, JOHN, WILLIAM, ROBERT, FLOSSO M., and
        JESSIE A. (twins), WALTER, GRACE and MARGARET.  The last named
        child is not living.  MRS. McALLISTER was born in Peebleshire,
        Scotland, Sept. 27, 1841.  Her mother died when she was small, and
        when she was 19 years of age she came to Ontario with her father,
        where they remained only a brief time, coming thence to Verona,
        where her father still resides.
