Biografie
James Darrell Gill (d.1864), trader, was the son of Nicholas Gill, of Gill & Co., a firm based in St. John's. James Gill died at New York on 9 March 1864, leaving a large family.
James Darrrell Gill's father, Nicholas (1770-1855) and his uncle, Joseph Gill, established a trading firm in St. John's in the 1790s. The Gill firm was involved in the West Indian trade, exporting salt cod to the Indies and importing rum and molasses. Nicholas also established a branch of the firm in New York City in the 1830s.
Nicholas Gill sent his son James Darrell to New York to manage the family firm.That firm operated as a distribution centre for Newfoundland products such as seal pelts, seal oil, cod-liver oil, and furs. In return, sugar, corned beef, and clothing were shipped to Newfoundland. The St. John's business premises of Gill & Co. were destroyed in the fire of 1846.
