McGill family

Members occupied colonial offices, and they are mentioned in the African Repository magazine published by the American Colonization Society.

George R. and Angelina McGill emigrated to Liberia aboard the Reaper with several members of their family and arrived in Monrovia in February 1831.

George McGill, however, remained in Monrovia, where he became a wealthy merchant and Methodist preacher; two of his four sons followed suit.

George McGill also served as the acting colonial agent of the American Colonization Society from September 24, 1833, to January 1, 1834.

They were members of the largely mixed-race Americo-Liberian community, as they had visibly light skin and European ancestry.
