Samuel Magill
Samuel Magill was the second mayor of Cumberland, Maryland from 1823 to 1824.
In 1812, Magill established one of the first newspapers in Cumberland, the Allegany Freeman. This newspaper was Democratic in politics and featured news about the War of 1812, politics, and advertisements. Local matters were wholly ignored and the most offsensive personalities freely indulged in, together with a great many high-flown patriotic sentences.
