Gavin was born in 1810 in Cambuslang, Lanarkshire, Scotland. He and his brother Maitland Muirhead immigrated from Scotland in 1843, on a grant of land in the Township of Osprey near the Village of McIntyre. Maitland hewed the wood that was used for both his and his brothers cabin. The Muirheads lived in the cabin for over 90 years. It was dismantled log by log, and erected on the present site in 1962 using most of the original material. He married Catherine McPhail who was widowed and had a daughter Mary Ann. They had nine children who were all born in Osprey, Ontario.
