JAMES E. MAGILL farmer, P.O. Newportville, was born in 
Solebury township, April 24, 1844, and is a son of Henry and 
Ruth (Reece) Magill, natives of Bucks county.  Both his 
paternal and maternal ancestors were early settlers of 
Pennsylvania, and of English origin.  Our subject's father 
is a farmer, and now resides in Solebury township.  His 
family consists of ten children, of whom James E. is the 
oldest.  He was reared on a farm, attending the district 
school, and has made farming his business.  He was married 
in 1855 to Sally, daughter of John and Sarah Ann (Bachman) 
Jones, and is of English descent.  Their children are:  
Jesse, John, Frank, and Herbert, the last deceased.  Mr. 
Magill is a republican in politics.  He has been justice of 
the peace, supervisor, collector and treasurer of Bristol 
township.  He enlisted in 1862 in company C, 128th 
Pennsylvania infantry, and held a non-commissioned office.
