It caught from a stable which stood on the opposite side of the alley, where BROWN'S building now stands. The fire was accidental and was caused by a [------?] leaving[?] [a?] fire in the stable. There was no dwelling house burned in CANONSBURG from that time until last week, a period of 67 years. Canonsburg has certainly been remarkable fortunate as far as fires are concerned.

He emigrated to this country with his wife in the year 1796, and settled in Canonsburg, where he bought a lot containing three acres fronting on Pitt Street, now owned by George L. Scott. Here they lived till the close of their lives in 1819, with but a days difference between their deaths. They were buried in what is now Oak Spring Cemetery. The children of Daniel who came to this country with their parents were John, Jenny, Peggy, Eliza, and Hugh. They all settled near Canonsburg except Eliza, who married George Marshman. All were married and raised families of children except Jenny. John McGill, the eldest, emigrated to this country a short time before his father. He married Mary Taggart in Ireland. Her brother Samuel also came to this town, and settled here. John McGill was elected high constable of the borough. In 1805 he owned a horse-mill; in 1809 he kept a tavern. Later he moved to the Bowland farm in Chartiers township, and afterwards returned to Canonsburg, and resided where Mrs. Denny now lives, and where he died. His children were Mary, John, Nancy, Jane, Alexander F., and Hugh. John settled in Pittsburgh. He was a cabinet-maker, and later a druggist. Nancy became the wife of John Haft, of Chartiers township.

- WALKER, MOSES B. (1819-1895). Moses B. Walker, Supreme Court justice, was born on July
16, 1819, in Fairfield County, Ohio, the son of John and Mary (Davis) Walker. Henry Winter
Davis, the United States Representative from Maryland who played a major role at the onset
of Reconstruction,qv was his first cousin. Walker attended Woodward High School
in Cincinnati, Augusta College in Kentucky, and Yale College. After three years at Yale,
he attended Cincinnati Law School and read law in Springfield, Ohio, before opening an
office in Dayton, Ohio, and practicing law from 1846 until 1861. During this period he was
elected to a term in the Ohio Senate (1850-51). At the outbreak of the Civil War,qv
Walker volunteered and became colonel of the Thirty-first Ohio Volunteer Infantry. As a
member of Gen. George Thomas's Army of the Cumberland throughout the war, he took part in
virtually every major battle in which that army was engaged except Missionary Ridge. He
was wounded three times at Chickamauga and reportedly had to be tied in the saddle due to
fatigue and loss of blood. He was brevetted brigadier general of volunteers, served in the
Atlanta Campaign, and concluded the war with the rank of brevet lieutenant colonel in the
regular army as well as his volunteer command. At the end of the war Walker left the army
briefly and ran unsuccessfully, in 1866, for the United States House of Representatives.
He returned to active duty in 1868 and took part in the military occupation of Texas. In
April 1869 Gen. Joseph J. Reynoldsqv appointed him judge of the Fourth Judicial
District. He held that position only until November 27, 1869, when he was appointed to the
state Supreme Court to replace Albert H. Latimer.qv When the Constitution of
1869qv went into effect, Governor Edmund J. Davisqv appointed him an
associate justice on the reorganized three-man Supreme Court, on July 11, 1870. As a
member of that court in 1873 Walker wrote the opinion in the "Semicolon Court"qv
case, which ruled invalid the election in which Richard Cokeqv defeated Davis
for the governorship. The ruling did not overturn Coke's victory, however, and when Coke
appointed a new five-man Supreme Court in January 1874, under the terms of an 1873
constitutional amendment, Walker lost his position on the bench. Immediately upon the end
of his tenure on the court, Walker left Texas and moved to Kenton, Ohio, where he resumed
law practice. After serious injury in a fall in December 1879, he retired and lived on a
farm in the suburbs of Kenton. Walker was married twice: to Maria Van Skyack in 1842 and,
following her death in 1853, to Mary Hitt in 1855. With his first wife he had three
children, and with his second, eight. Walker held the highest office in the Texas state
government attained by any "carpetbagger"qv during the era of
Reconstruction.qv He came with the army, almost certainly with no intention to
stay in the state, but his motivation appears to have been primarily that of a Unionist
patriot. During the war he had made speeches intended to build support for the Union
military effort. As a lawyer and judge he was, in the words of James R. Norvell,qv
who served on the Supreme Court nearly a century later, "a lawyer of ability [who]
possessed some literary talent. Even the Semicolon decision demonstrated that he was a
skilled technician." Moses B. Walker died at Kenton, Ohio, in 1895.
