The diary of William Wallace McMillan, a Confederate Soldier from Monroe Co, AL
"I will now in my own way give as well as I know how the genealogy of the 'McMillan' Family. My ancestors, as far back as Plainly shows, were Scottish. I can trace them as far back as Scotland, but no farther. My g. grandfather, Archibald McMillan, emigrated from the Highlands of Scotland some where about the year 1760. He settled in Richmond County, North Carolina. He had two sons and ___ daughters as follows; Malcolm McMillan (wife Margaret Smith); Gilbert McMillan (wife a McKinnon) x McMillan (husband Charles McKinnon) Flora McMillan (husband x McRea) Catherine McMillan (husband Norman McLeod) x McMillan (husband x McLeod) x McMillan (husband x Buchannan) My g. grandfather was accompanied to America by his brother Gilbert, (crossed out and John substituted in another hand), most of whose descendants still reside in the southern part of N. Carolina.
Gilbert (again John substituted) McMillan, the brother of my g. grandfather married a McKinnon."
