  • Notes 
    • Arrived in America with brother Alexander prior to 1850.
      Married in Norfolk County MA to Susan Cummings. Possibly remarried later to Jane Ferguson (?). (Note: 1860 census lists a Jane Fallon or Ballon as a 20-year-old domestic in the McGaw house. She had a daughter Jane of 4 months age at the time. It is possible that the mother is the Jane in question. She was born in England.)
      Apparently lived in both Medway and Wrentham MA
      Listed as Farmer on 1860 Census
      Settled in Wrentham (where he died?)
