Have you looked for an obituary for Mary McGill by chance? These can list living siblings. They were not recording births in Ohio in 1862 so it's unlikely you'll find a birth document for her. Have you found her in the 1870 or 1880 census records?

What a wonderful suggestion! Thank you. Also, I found what appears to be extremely helpful information on the 1870 census. It has opened up the door that was locked for so long. I will try looking at obituaries for Mary McGill (which was just Gill on the 1870 census.

How exciting to have found her in the census. The Rhode Island Historical society explains where the newspapers are: http://www.rihs.org/newspapers-and-periodicals/
