note
Head of household, as "Malcom McMillan", farmer.

Father of Duncan McMillan, named with his wife Mary in three of Duncan's records (1874, 1886, 1889). In the 1838 census of Nova Scotia a "Malcom McMillan," farmer, family of six, was in Dorchester Township, Sydney (later Antigonish) County, among the McMillans and Camerons of the Lochaber settlement (record). Rankin's county history (1929) names a Malcolm McMillan, with Hugh McMillan and John Cameron, natives of Lochaber in Scotland, as the men who settled by College Lake about 1810 and renamed it Lochaber (source). That he is this Malcolm is probable; Rankin's list of his children does not name Duncan, who left in 1845.

Open questions

  • His origin (Kilmallie parish, Inverness-shire, is likely from the place-name) and his parents. The trees' crossing on the Nora in 1801 has no passenger list or source; his death on 12 Apr 1840 and North Lochaber burial are unverified.
