Re: McGough Road, Maple Park, Illinois

Hugh,

McGough Road is named for my Great Great Grandfather.

His name was James McGOugh (D.1907) and he was married to Mary E. Walker (D.1918) They owned a farm on McGough Road.

They had 5 children. One of which was my Great Grandfather James Harrison McGough (1873-1962). He was a bootlegger during the depression!. He married Elizabeth Neil ( 1889-1913), & they had 2 children, twin boys Harry (b. 1912) & Donald (1912 - 1992). Donald was my grandfather.

There is a McGough Family cemetary just off of McGough Road. Have you actually been to the area?

Hope this answers your question.
