Age Years 48 Birth Year 1812 Birth County Antrim Birth Country Code UK Birth Country Ireland Biographical Text From http://haroldwilliamthorpe.com/irish-immigration-to-iowa-county-wisconsin/ Newlyweds Hugh and Margaret McNeill immigrated to America from County Antrim, Ireland, in the 1840s, after being disowned by both of their families. Hugh was Irish protestant, Jane Scotch Catholic; their union was deeply disapproved of by their parents. “They were banished. It was as if they had died,” says their great-grandson, Bob McNeill, who grew up in Iowa County. Hugh and Margaret bought a farm near Hollandale in 1848. In the town of Waldwick, on a road that still bears their name – McNeill Road – they built a rock farmhouse that remains standing today. Descendants went on to farm there for generations. The house, sold about ten years ago by the McNeill family, is now privately owned.

Thos. Mitchell, died June 15th in the 60th year of his age. Mr. Mitchell came to this country more than thirty years ago and made Mineral Point his home. Twice he visited the gold fields of the far west, and secured some of its previous treasures that save him from want in his very long affection (sic) and leaves his widow free from dependency. As a laborer (he being a miner) he was industrious and careful; as a citizen; lawabiding without constraint; as a neighbor, peaceable and kind, as a husband and father, very tender and loving. But it was as a Christian he gained our highest esteem. For more than sixteen years he was a faithful member of the Primitive Methodist Church of the city. Though afflicted for years, and confined to his bed for the last sixteen months he never murmured or complained. Religion was his life, it supported him under severest pains, and in death it was his comfort. He was a good man and has gone to his reward.
