Hi!

I'm looking for information regarding Hugh S. Magill or McGill. When he
grew up, he was a Presbyterian minister at Clonaneese Church, Co Tyrone
(ordained in 1753 or 54). The Presbyterian Historical Society of Ireland
said that he was born in County Down, date and parents unknown. In 1772 he
emigrated to America, specifically Pennsylvania, where he ministered at
several churches. He died 14 Sep 1805. Does anybody have any info about
this guy?? He's my gggggrandfather and I have no idea how to get any
further than this. The minister at Clonaneese was very helpful, but didn't
have any more info than the Historical Society.

Thanks so much!

Chris Wieland
