  • Notes 
    • Notes from Bill & Barb Maglone:

      "This information was retrieved off of a census record. The name is also spelled "Mcgloan"

      James Maglone was born in County Monaghan, Ireland in the year of 1782. About 1812 he married Mary Landers, born 01 Nov 1797 (baptised 26 Nov 1797) near Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, New York). She also died in 1853.

      According to granddaughter Mae Wilson, the James Maglones came West during the great Westward movement when the territory was opened and trade was being developed. It was the age of canals and railroad construction. Mary Landers Maglone told her grandchildren that they had lived in the canebreaks of Indiana and that she had washed their clothes in the Patoka River.

      James probably labored on the canals while in Indiana. From Indiana they went to the prairie between Olney and Noble, Illinois. He bought land and built a cabin for his family. His boys were big enough to farm so he left his wife and family to care for the farm while he went to Kentucky to work. He was a gardener and did landscape gardening for Henry Clay at Lexington, Kentucky.

      When he had saved enough money to buy another forty acres he would return to Illinois and buy another piece of land. He would then go back to Lexington and Frankfort for his gardening.

      The land referred to by Mae Wilson is located on highway 250 between Olney and Noble, Illinois and is across the highway from Shiloh #2 cemetery where James Maglone is buried. In the same cemetery is buried his son Thomas Maglone. It is felt that Mary Landers Maglone is also buried there but there is no proof of that.
