    3. The Cemetery you are talking about was a gift from James McGill in the 1810-11, when he learned that the owners of the cemeteries in this vicinity refused to allow soldiers of the American Revolution to be buried without buying a lot. This so incensed Mr. Mc Gill whose father and uncle had served in the Revolution. He donated one acre of his farm to Alloway Township, in which residents of the township were to be buried free of charge. He was the blacksmith in Alloway for many years. He and both of his wives are buried there. James and Margaret Mower McGill are my GGGGrandparents. Leslie
