The history of these families cannot be related without referring to each other as they were related to each other and the first Yellowstone area settlers of these families all left their native Ireland in Antrim County in the northeastern part within a few years of each other.

They were: James and Jane Wiley Darragh who went first to Scotland in 1837, thence to Liverpool, England, and then to America, joining Jane's father and stepmother, the William Wiley's at Sycamore, Illinois. No mention in the source, from which this information was taken was made of James' and Janes' children other than James, born in Ireland, Jane probably born in Liverpool and William J. born in Pittsburg in 1843. William J. Darragh later became known as William J. Darrow to distinguish between his children and the children of Patrick Darragh's children. This change was made by their school teacher Riley Scott who with his father founded the village of Yellowstone. It is not known which school Riley was teaching at the time, but in all probability it was the Lyons School situated just across the Fayette-Blanchard boundary line in Section 31 of Blanchard Township. James and Jane Wiley Darragh traveled across the country mostly by ox team en route to Sycamore, Ill. to join Jane's father's family, living there until 1849 when they came to Yellowstone area.

Mrs. James Darragh (Jane) and Mrs. John McKillip (Sarah), were sisters, daughters of William Wiley. After the Darragh's became settled in Lafayette County in 1849 they sent passage money to Sarah and John McKillip to come to America. The McKillip's arrived in this country in 1851 and homesteaded in Section 36 of Fayette Township, just north of the Darragh farm. All o the John McKillip's 8 children were born in Ireland.

The Lyons family, James and Mary, with their two little girls, Fannie and Margaret, arrived in this country in 1852 on passage money sent to them by Peggy McKillip who had come to America in 1850. Peggy and Margaret were sisters, daughters of John and Sarah McKillip. The Lyons traveled from Buffalo, New York by boat to Milwaukee where by then their money was exhausted. Mary and the two little girls remained in Milwaukee with a distant relative while James walked to Yellowstone where he contacted James Darragh. The two men set out for Milwaukee by Ox-team and brought the family to Yellowstone.

It is interesting to note that as the children of these three families married, they purchased land either near or adjoining the parental homesteads. These children married children of other pioneer settlers of the area, including the Cassidy's the Hardymans, the McIllhattons, the McDonalds, the Franks, the Hughes, the Gratz' and Dalys' to mention some of the prevalent present names of the area.

Much of the land originally owned by these hardy pioneers is now in the possession of the State of Wisconsin Natural Resources, and was used in the formation of the recreational area known as Yellowstone State Park.

This and the following genealogy of the descendants of these first pioneers has been taken from the genealogy book on the John and Sarah Wiley McKillip family prepared by Mrs. Ralph (Phyllis) Callies, daughter of Earle and Marie Frank, and lent this "historian" by Marie Frank. Mrs. Callies is a great great granddaughter of Sarah Wiley McKillip.
