Notes

NOTES: Samuel McAlilley was born in South Carolina, near Chester, and wa s of Scotch descent. He married in his native state and immigrated to Te nnessee, where he lived until 1818. He then emigrated to Illinois, wit h his family of four boys and three girls. At the time two of his sons , John and Samuel, Jr., were married. The others were William, James, Je nnie, Elizabeth and Mary. In 1818 he built a cabin which when finished s tood in the southeast part of section thirty, on the present site of th e Highland Cemetery. Mr. McAllilly dug two wells here upward of sixty fe et deep, but could obtain no water. The place was abandoned after a fe w years, and he built a second cabin on what is now the Frank Lorenz plac e, where he lived until 1832. He then moved to the M. Journey place, no w the Chas. Chipron farm, where he died two years later of cholera. In f our days his wife followed him. John McAlilly built a hewed log house ne ar that of his father, where he lived a few years, and then went to Alaba ma. In 1826, he returned to the settlement, and subsequently located i n Fayette county, north of Vandalia, where he died in 1872, leaving a fam ily of two sons and four daughters. Samuel McAlilly, Jr., also built a c abin near his father's, where he lived some years. His children Willia m C., Elizabeth, and Matilda were born here. He then returned to Kentuck y. After three years he came back to the settlement and rented the far m now owned by F. Pyhiner, to which he moved his cabin. Two more daughte rs, Melinda and Mary were born on this place. In 1835, he bought out th e heirs of his father, and moved to the old home place, where he lived ma ny years. Samuel Jr.'s only son, William C, lives in the northeast par t of St. Jacob's township. William McAlilly, also lived near his father' s. His wife died after being married about two years, leaving one child , James J., who now lives in Clinton County, Illinois. William afterwar d married the widow of Adam Kyle, Jr. and lived east of Highland until hi s death, at which time he had three daughters. James McAlilly married he re and moved to Indiana, where he was engaged in the mercantile busines s until his death. Jeannie McAlilly married Joseph Howard, son of the wi dow, Lydia Stewart Howard. Elizabeth McAlilly, became the wife of Alfre d Walker, who settled a place in the northeast part of St. Jacob's townsh ip as early as 1824. None of his descendants now live in the county. Ma ry McAlilly, married John Journey, who settled on part of the Adam Nage l farm as early as 1825. He afterward went to Fayette county and from th ere to Wisconsin, where he died.
In 1818, Samuel McAlilly, shortly after he arrived in the settlement, wen t up to Coulter's place one afternoon, and returning just after nightfal l discovered some dark object in a tree, around which his dogs were barki ng. He dismounted, and concluded to investigate. Having his rifle wit h him, as the pioneers at all times had, he walked round the tree, but a s it was quite dark, could not satisfy himself what the object was. Thin king it however, and animal that ought to be
Exterminated, he drew up his rifle and fired. His aim was good, and at t he crack of his gun the object came crashing down through the limbs and f ell heavily on the gournd. After satisfying himself the animal, as it ch anced to be, was dead, he endeavored to put in on his horse, but after se veral attempts he became convinced he could not accomplish the feat. He r ode down to the Howard cabin and related his adventure. Joseph and Abrah am Howard accompanied him back to the spot, and informed him he had kille d one of the largest panthers ever slain in that settlement, measuring ni ne feet from tip to tip. The ball had passed directly through the heart . The Howards assisted him in getting the panther on the horse, and as t hey had had several years experience in the new country with the larger g ame, gave him some wholesome advice in regard to shooting panthers in th e night when alone. This panther was killed near where the widow Ambuhl' s residence now stands. Deer at this time might be seen daily trooping o ver the prairie in droves. From ten to twenty and sometimes as many as f ifty were seen grazing together. Game of all linds was very plentiful . Deer were worth about a dollar, and deer hides brought fifty cents. C aptain Abraham Howard killed forty-seven and Samuel McAlilly, forty-fiv e in one fall, in the prairie and in the timber between Sugar and Silve r creeks. They found a ready market for them in St. Louis. Bears, whil e not plentiful, were often seen and killed. Wolves were so numerous tha t when the dogs ventured too far out from the cabins at night they woul d be driven back by them to the very doors. Source: History of Madison C ounty, Illinois, page 545.

NOTES: From Carol Page Tilson,e-mail: bobcartilson@uswest.net , as of 1 999-09-14. Comments: I am researching the McAliley family as my husband i s descended from Samuel McAliley, Sr., via his son John McAliley (brothe r of Jennie McAliley Howard) of Fayette Co., IL. By the way, their mothe r was Jennie (Jennette, Janet or Jane?) Johnson. Also, I have been told t hat "McAliley" -- spelled without any double Ls -- is the Chester Co., SC , spelling. Would be glad to hear from any McAliley researchers who migh t sign in -- no matter how they spell the name
