Hope you had a wonderful trip to Scotland.

Angus Gillis was NOT born in Scotland. He was born in Montgomery Co., NC. Angus Gillis married Margaret Montgomery Alston. Angus'& Margaret's son, Stephen E. Gillis, was the formen for the Nevada Territorial Enterprise newspaper. Steve was the "boss" of Mark Twain since Mark was only a reporter. Mark Twain lived with the Gillis family, as their guest, the whole time he lived in the West except for the short time in Hawaii.Angus died on his ranch in Sonoma Co., CA.

Angus Gillis' father was from the Isle of Skye, Scotland.
