re rollcall: I have William McGaughey b. 1774 (MD?) d. 1834 Belmont Co. who married Ann Boyd b. ?, d. 1832 Belmont Co. The name is sometimes spelled McGaughy, and the family seems to have come from Harford Co, MD with a number of other settlers. There is a small cemetery for the family in section 10 of Smith Twp. on farm land that was originally theirs. William moved to Belmont Co., OH in 1810. He served in the War of 1812 from Ohio, private in Capt. John Howell's company of infantry, 1st regiment, Ohio militia, served 3 SEP 1813 until 2 MAR 1814. William's son James Gordon McGaughey b. 1828 d. 1900 m. 1848 Hannah Jane Street b. 1827 d. 1906. My great-grandfather is James' son Hiram Clark McGaughey b. 1858 Belmont Co., d. 1911 Chandler, OK. I am having trouble locating the family prior to moving Belmont Co., and also am not able to identify the parents of Ann Boyd, but she is likely the daughter of Cyrus Boyd, of Goshen Twp. My home page below has more info on the line. -- John K.
