Margaret Cameron and Allan MacMillan of Glenpean had a son, Ewen MacMillan, born 1777, who
settled in Finch Township, Ontario. Ewen had a daughter named Marjorie MacMillan b c
1798,(IGI) and she married Archibald MacMillan, son of John MacMillan of Callich(mentioned
on page 80==Bygone Lochaber by Somerled MacMillan), and his wife, Lucy MacMillan.
Archibald MacMillan and Marjorie MacMillan were my gg grandparents. Archibald bought Lot
20, Concession 3, Finch Township(west of Cameron School), in 1839. Archibald and
Marjorie's daughter, Margaret MacMillan b 1822(IGI==b 1819 according to Finch census
1851 which is 'out' by three years)who married Duncan Cameron(Clunes), Lot 21,
Concession 4, Finch Township, son of Donald Cameron, killed March 1809.
Margaret MacMillan(my gt grandmother) daughter of Archie and Marjorie, had a brother,
Johnny Archie MacMillan, b 1825, buried MacMillan graveyard, Lot 19-1 Finch Township
--tombstone behind the tombstone for his nephew, Donald Cameron(b 1847), my grandfather).
Johnny Archie's son, Johnny John MacMillan(b 1862) built a general store in Finch
Village(the stone building was demolished a few years ago.). Johnny Archie MacMillan's
grandson, Archie K. MacMillan(b 1894) was at one time a Clerk Treas. of Stormont, Dundas
and Glengarry. My father, J.G> Cameron(1890-1968) was County Engineer for SDandG from
1917 to 1962. Their photos are in the History Book of SDandG written by J.G. Harkness.
Unfortunately, on page 84, Mr. Harkness mistakenly renamed my gt gt grandfather, Donald
Cameron to 'Hugh', etc.
There are descendants of Johnny Archie MacMillan, b 1825(brother to my gt. Margaret)living
within Glengarry/Stormont). My Cameron line through Donald Cameron, killed March 1809,
was from the vicinity of Loch Arkaig, and his wife, Nancy(Ann) Cameron b 1779(Finch 1851
census) was the daughter of John Cameron of Inveruiskavouline(Glenloy)near Loch Arkaig.
