Andrew McGillem and his wife Elizabeth came to Pike County Indiana from North Carolina in 1827. They had nine children, seven of whom were boys. When the Civil War broke out most of the boys joined the Union Army. Three were killed in this bloody conflict leaving their widows and children to carry on the name. Most of their descendants stayed in the area of southern Indiana
