Hi Jared
My great aunt's father was John James Cahill, born 5/12/1879 near Alvarado, Johnson
County, Texas. Her name was Revie Cahill and she married John Newton McBrayer, Jr. in
Ellis County, Texas. Her sister Ruby Adelia Cahill married my great uncle William Rufus
McClendon. The Cahill family came from Benton County, Alabama to Johnson County, Texas in
1859 and settled in a place that became known as Cahill.
Cahill was never a large place, and now consists of a small church, a cemetery and a few
homes. It is located between Lillian and Interstate 35, close to another small community
to the southwest called Happy Hill, on what was once called the old Mansfield-Cleburne
road. John James Cahill had a brother, Thomas E. Cahill, born 1/22/1885 and a sister
Helen.
