Illinois

Illinois joined the union in 1818. John and Daniel McHugh moved from Pennsylvania to Jo Daviess Co. in NW Illinois between 1845 and 1848. It was a brief stopover, they families moved across the state line into Wisconsin in 1849.

Louisa Wagner McHugh lost her husband James in 1898 and moved to Chicago with several of her children. Louisa died in 1906. Her son Charles married Bess Catherine Crail in 1910.

Dr. James Crail had moved to Chicago in 1908 to assume the position of federal meat inspector. He took the same position in Indianapolis in 1911, to be near his 78 year-old mother, Catherine O'Neil Crail. The McHughs also moved to Indy at that time.
