John McDill (1675-1761) and his wife, Janet Leslie, of Broughnow, near Broughshane, Ballymena Parish, County Antrim, Ireland, had two sons and one daughter of which we have definite record, tradition tells us of four more sons. There may have been more children. In 1772 their daughter, Margaret (Peggy) and her husband, John Peden, with their family and Thomas McDill and his wife, Margaret Chestnut, with their family came to Chester District, South Carolina. In 1780 or 1785 three other brothers are said to have come from Ireland and settled in South Carolina, probably in Abbeville or Fairfield District. In 1793 or 1794 another brother, Hugh. and his wife, Roxanna Stuart, with their family came from Ireland and settled in what is now Crawford Co., Pennsylvania. John McDill, who is thought to be a grandson of John and Janet [Leslie] McDIll, came to South Carolina at about the same time and later moved to Randolph Co., Illinois.

Foremost among men of Ulster he is found side by side with the Leslie, Mills, McDill, Gaston, Alexander, and the exiled Morton, as well as many another honored name that would swell the list interminably.

The best solution seems that given by the McDill annals; for they, unlike the Pedens, have kept their records dating back nearly three hundred years.

Scorning the intervention of the priest, which the Irish law required, John Peden was married by a Protestant minister to his neighbor's daughter, bonny "Peggy" or Margaret McDill. She always bore this name. (Note-For the history of "Peggy" or Margaret McDill the writer is indebted to several members of the McDill family, which family has kept its records intact for centuries.) "Peggy" or Margaret was the eldest daughter of John McDill and Janet Leslie, his wife (what memories the Leslie name stirs.) She was born during August, 1715, at Broughshane, Ballymena Parish, Antrim County, Ireland.
