Some genealogists say that he was from VA, possibly confused with another John McGill in Franklin County, Kentucky.
But newer research disputes this assumption. The newer theory is that he is from New Jersey, possibly a brother of Robert McGill Sr. (1758-1835). There is compelling autosomal evidence of a connection between Robert McGill and John Magill.
