(Excerpt from chapter 1)
T.J. Megibben.--From the annals of the McGinness family the following is copied: The maternal grandmother of T.J. McGibben and James Megibben, his brother, was Elizabeth McGinness, who was born, 1793, in Staunton, Virginia; married Jeremiah Gelvin, 1810. Emily Gelvin, daughter of Jeremiah and Elizabeth Gelvin, married, May 20, 1830, William Megibben, who was born in Pennsylvania, June 4, 1808. The subject of this sketch was born March 28, 1831. He married, near Cynthiana, Elizabeth J. David, born near Indianapolis, Indiana, February 2, 1833. From the annals of the McGinness family, it is learned that the McGinnesses date back to the kings of Ulster--[Page 37] not to the time of them, but to them. It is not mentioned in these annals, however, that T.J. Megibben and his Christian wife reared and educated many orphans, who bless them to-day. Such an item is of more worth than a line of ancestry that can be traced to kings of any country.
