McGill, Thomas D'arcy 1825-

Legislator; born in Carlingford, Ireland, April 13, 1825; came to the United States in 1842; appointed on the staff of the Pilot in Boston, but soon returned to Ireland, where he made himself conspicuous by his advocacy of the policy proposed by the “Young Ireland” party. Suspected by the British government of treason, he escaped to the United States, settling in New York, where he founded The American Celt and The nation. He removed to Canada in 1856, founded The New era, and was elected to the Canadian Parliament in 1857. His political views had changed, and he parted company with his old associates. He was active in promoting the union of the British colonies in North America, and was elected a member of the first Parliament of the Dominion. On April 7, 1868, he was assassinated on the public street.
