McGillis Family; by Clarence A. Kipling:

My G.G.G.Grandfather was named Donald Ban Mor McGillis, the term Ban Mor is a Gaelic Legend meaning Big Fair Donald. The wife of Donald Ban Mor McGillis was Mary McDonell of Lundy, daughter of Ranald McDonell of Lundy, the McDonell of Lundy were an important Sept of Glengarry Scotland.

Donald and Mary McGillis were Highland Scots and their home in the year 1767 was Munerighie, Inverness-shire Scotland.

In mid September 1773 Donald and Mary and family boarded the British navy frigate named 'Pearl', they arrived in Albany, New York in October 1773.

The migration to America was led by three brothers named McDonell. John, Sir William and Allan McDonell and their cousin, Spanish John McDonell, who was born at Knoydart, Scotland in 1828??. They also brought with them their Catholic priest named Father McKenna.

Donald Ban Mor McGillis and his cousin, Donald McGillis Jr., leased 100 acres of land from Sir William Johnson, who owned a great deal of land in the area, which had been given to him for his service in the early French war. The names of the two Donald McGillises appear on Sir John Johnson's Rent Roll of the Kingsborough Patent, which lay four miles north of the present day Mowhawk River filling most of the present day Johnstown.

The McGillis family farmed their lands in Tryon County until the American Revolution broke out on April 10, 1774 and many of these people had their land and possessions taken by the rebels and fighting on the British side, the farmers were deprived of their lands.

Donald Ban Mor McGillis seems to have left his land where he farmed and joined the Kings Royal Regiment of New York on May 6, 1876. From June 25, to December 24, 1877 he was at LaPrairie.

The Haldimand papers concerning returns of Loyalists that were quartered at Lachine, Quebec, appears the name of Donald McGillis for the period from October 25th to November 1780, with a wife and three sons and a daughter. He had served with the Royal Yorkers Regiment from March 25th to April 24th, 1781. From August 24, 1781 to September 24, 1781, still receiving provisions at Lachine, Quebec, his son Hugh McGillis was taken off the provisions list as he was 13 years old and was fit for service.

After the War was over Sir John Johnson organized a trek to Upper Canada with 800 United Empire Loyalists. These families had to make their way through wilderness, using canoes on the streams. They carried on their backs what household goods they could carry. From Montreal they used military bateaux to carry them up the streams of the St.Lawrence River, until they reached the vicinity of Lake St.Francis. The Government land office was located at New Johnstown near Cornwall, Ontario. The Loyalists showed their military records before receiving their deeds for the land grants which were given to the soldiers and families for their service in the British army by the Imperial Government.

Donald Ban Mor McGillis was now known as Sgt. Donald Ban Mor McGillis and his land grant was located on the East 1/4 Lot, 2, South Side of the River Aux Raisin (Black River) on the banks near Williamstown, Charlottenburgh, Glengarry, Ontario.

On October 16, 1784 a return of disbanded troops and dependents at Township No.I (Charlottenburgh) included an entry for Sgt. Donald McGillis with wife and 3 children with notation on their land.

According to a claim presented to the Government by Sgt. Donald Ban Mor Mcgillis, dated Jan. 25, 1788 at Montreal, Canada, it states that he was sending his son Hugh McGillis to bring official evidence of his claim and stated he was very ill and not able to attend. The statement read as follows: Donald McGillis, Late of Tryon County, New York is very ill and keeps to his bed and cannot attend, he was in Sir John Johns 1st Battalion, Kings Royal Regiment of New York, he was at Lachine, Quebec in 1783 and gave his claim to Captain Angus McDonell, he was a native of Scotland and came to America in 1773, had five sons in the British Army, he joined the British in 1777, served until the end of the war, produces his discharge as a Sergeant and now lives in New Johnstown, Upper Canada, had rented lands in America and 3 cows, 6 hogs, 3 pigs, 50 skipples of wheat, furniture and clothing, he left the place in Tryon County in 1777, the stock was left ont he land.

Sgt. Donald Ban Mor McGillis and Mary McDonell of Lundy had the following children: Ranald Gillis, Captain Donald Ban Og McGillis, John Go McGillis, Laird Hugh McGillis, Angus McGillis, Duncan McGillis, Isabella McGillis, and possibly Archie McGillis.

On Jan. 8, 1796 at River Aux Raisin a document made out by Sgt. Donald Ban Mor McGillis, shows a transfer of lands to his eldest son John Go Mcgillis (Go means Smith in Gaelic) and John was a blacksmith. The lands were given to Sgt. Donald Ban Mor McGillis for his military service. The lands were described as East 1/4 Lot, 2, South Side of the River Aux Raisin, which was 109 acres, Lot 20 in the 5th Concession of the township of Kenyon, Ontario, East 1/4 Lot 21 South Side of the River Aux Raisin in Charlottenburgh, Ontario. In 1817-19 John Go McGillis took steps in getting this land registered in his own name.

John Go McGillis was born in the Highlands of Scotland in 1750s?. He emigrated to the American Colonies in 1773 with his family. He resided there in the Colonies Previous to the breaking out of the American Revolutionary War. He joined the Royal standard in the year 1775 in a corps of volunteers also called the 84th Highland Regiment, commanded by Captain Tallmay and served as a Lieut. in the said corps. John received his commission, signed by Governor Tryon and Governor Patters, who was when Commandant in New York.

John Go was taken prisoner in the year 1781 at Gloucester Point. He was at the head of a boat, employed in bringing entrenching tools from the British shipping. On the 5th May 1783, when John Go was leaving New York, the vessel in which he was and other Loyalists, upset between New York and Staten Island. Every soul but him and one other person perished. At this time John Go lost his trunk, which contained his Commission of Lieut. He went on to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and remained there until coming to the River Aux Raisin in 1789. After he got to Cape Breton, John Go married Catherine McMillan, the daughter of Hugh McMillan and Mary. They had a son Donald McGillis, born 1784 in Cape Breton and he married Ruby Rutherford on December 28, 1820 at Lochiel, Ontario(Charles Denney.).

Children of Donald Ban Mor⁶ McGillis and Mary McDonell (see #38) were as follows:
