He is my great great great great great great grandfather. 6 times great. He was actually born in Scotland (not sure where in Scotland, or the year immigrated, or birthdate). I don't know if this is correct, but I think he may have died on September 23 of 1834. One of his children is James McGill Jr. (my 5 times great grandfather) who was born in 1789.
