John McGill, Jr., deceased, was born in Orange County, N.Y., December 25,
1809, and married Sarah Herman, of Kingston, N.Y., in 1829.  In 1852, he
removed to Louisville, Ky., where he resided until 1857; returned then to
Watervliet, N.Y., and afterwards to Cohoes, N.Y.  In August, 1859, he
removed to Milwaukee, and in the Spring of 1860 he removed to this state,
residing in Dayton until 1861, when he took up 160 acres of land on
Section 27, Newfield, paying fifty cents per acre.  He resided on this
place until his death, December 15, 1878.  He was one of the first
settlers, and took an active part in all township matters, and was
universally respected by all who were favored with his acquaintance.  His
children, some of whom have passed away, were: John H., Annie M.,
Clarissa, Charles H., Josephine, Jane, Martha, Walter S., George W., and
