Regarding William P McKillips (brother of Emmaline) their parents were Alexander and Abigail Mckillips

"His parents were Alexander and Abigail (Fawcett) McKillips, the former born in County Down, Ireland, and the latter in Bath County, VA [now W-VA]. The maternal grandparents were natives of Wales. On the father's side they trace their ancestry to an old Scotch family that settled in the North of Ireland many years ago. The father [Alexander], when a young man, emigrated to this country, and became a farmer in Virginia, where he was married, and where six children were born to him. In 1834 he decided to come West, and he settle in what is now Council Hill Township, Jo Daviess County; but later removed to Menominee Township, where he entered a claim, on which he lived for some time, removing to the city of Galena in 1852, and there spent the remainder of his life, dying there in 1862, at the age of seventy-two; his wife had died six years [previously, in 1856, age fifty-six].
This worthy couple were the parents of six children - Benjamin, Alexander, Matilda, Eliza J, Emeline, and William P., all of whom lived to maturity. Benjamin emigrated to Kansas and Missouri, but later returned to Illinois, settling in Clayton County, where he died in 1865, leaving two children; Alexander lives near Kansas City, in Kansas, and is married, but has no children; Matilda is the wife of William H. Blackman, and resides in St. Paul, MN; Eliza J who was married to David Dryden, in Chicago, died at the place March 3, 1889; Emeline resides in Brooklyn, NY, and is the wife of Melville Clemens; William married Miss Amanda L Miller and had nine children [William, Matilda, George, Fannie, Edwin, Ella, Frank, Mary and Benjamin]."
