Documentation:
* Donald McPhale and John McPhale are in the Wisconsin census in 1860 Ripon, Fond Du
Lac Wisconsin (page 869 and 736). I have found a history in Mcpherson Co. Kansas that
reads that John (going by McPhail) was in the 3rd Wisconsin Cavalry Co. "C" as a Seargent
for a full term of duty then moved to Leavenworth Co. Kansas in 1865. He remained there
until 1869 when he Moved to Saline County. He then moved to Lindsborg, McPherson Co.
Kansas and was an Attorney and a Newspaper ("Localist") owner and Editor.
* His brother Donald has a history article that reads he came to the USA in 1856 and
Located near Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. He moved to the Kansas area in 1866. He was
educated in Scotland and a Steamboat Clerk. He steam boated and farmed for a while in
Wisconsin. He enlisted inthe US Navy in 1864. He was promoted to Petty Officer. In 1865
was discharged for a disability. He married Mary E. Fairchild on February 1866 in
Rosendale, Fond Du Lac Co, Wisconsin. Mary's dad was Highland Fairchild who also Lived in
Wisconsin prior to becoming President for a township Company and designing Assaria, Saline
Co. Kansas where they would all move and retire. They are in all the in Kansas up to 1900
when they all are dead. John died in 1890 and Donald near that time frame. There were
several of them that moved there into the Saline Co. and McPherson Co. Kansas area that I
believe may be brothers. Donald, Duncan, George and John. George married Myra Freedly and
had great aunt Alice McPhail. He died and Donald's boy (also George) married her and had
children by her. Duncan married a Catherine Jane Eaton 20 Aug 1876 in McPherson Co.
Kansas. All this was gained from Census info and from the Cutler's History of Kansas.
