The family of Christopher McGill seems to be connected to my wife's family. My wife's great grandmother
was Jerusha (McIntire) (McGill) Shoots. Her first marriage was to Stilley McGill on 8 Dec 1836. Stilley died
a few years later, leaving her with three small children. The names of the children were Christopher S., Jane
( Artemesia J., on deeds, Vol. 30 of Champaign Co.), Benton (Tobias H. Benton on deeds, Vol. 39 of Cham-
paign Co.). The names Stilley, Christopher, & Tobias, as given names, seems to be a hint of a close family
relationship to the family you mentioned.
Jerusha married Benjamin Shoots in 1845, who was a widower, with six children.
There is much about these three McGill children & their descendants in "The Shoots Family in America",
by Shirley F.Gill, 1966.
