The name McGavin has been part of
Huron County history for five generations.
With his bleak times in his homeland,
William McGavin left County Fermanagh,
near Donegal, Ireland, for the new world
in 1837. Eight months later he arrived in
New York, alone and penniless.
He spent the first winter in New Jersey,
then moved on to Port Huron, Michigan
where he stayed for four months. Walking
barefoot he departed for Bayfield. When
he arrived there he spent his last 25 cents
on a flask of whiskey.
William made money digging wells,
until he had saved enough to buy a farm
on shares. His crops were abundant and he
prospered. He married Elizabeth Graham
of Bayfield, with whom he had four sons,
William, John, Isaac and Albert, and two
daughters, Annie and Sophia.
After living for a time in the Varna area
the McGavins moved to McKillop
-Township. They acquired more land so
