John J. McCoig, a retired farmer of Concession 11, Harwich township, County of Kent, was born Feb. 14, 1830, in Argyllshire, Scotland, a son of John and Catherine (McNaughton) McCoig, who were born and reared and married in that country.
     John McCoig was born in 1787, a son of Neil and Catherine McCoig, who died in Scotland. In 1842 he came to Canada on a sailing vessel, spending seven weeks on the water. From Quebec he came to the present home in Harwich township, although at that time all the land was covered with a dense growth of timber, and he bought this wild land for $2 per acre. He built a log cabin in which he lived for some years, later replacing it with a comfortable frame house. He died in 1863, and his wife died in 1878, aged eighty-four years. In religious belief and practice they were Presbyterians, and he was one of the founders of the church here, and one of the first elders of McCall's Church at Chatham. Politically, he was a Reformer, although in early life he supported the Conservative party. These children were born to John McCoig and his wife: ... Mary (deceased) married John Hamil, who resides in Harwich (their only daughter is a Mrs. Johnston, of Harwich)...
