General Notes: Husband - William McMillan

---

He purchased a tract of four hundred acres of land in Wolf Creek township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and the records of Mercer county show him as a taxpayer in 1802. He was one of the three commissioners appointed to lay out the county seat of Mercer county, and for forty years filled the office of justice of the peace. He served at Erie in the war of 1812, and was one of the progressive men of his day. He was a pronounced temperance advocate, and prominent in temperance work during his life time. [HVC 1890, 996]

He was commonly designated "Little Billy," to distinguish between him and a large man of the same name.

There may be some confusion between this person and a William McMillen, a Revolutionary war soldier who lived in Mercer County and married Margaret McClimans.

John McMillan was Scotch-Irish. He was a worthy citizen. His cousin Thomas was a bachelor, and built a hotel in which his brother William accommodated some of the attendants at the first courts held in Mercer County. The farm is now owned by John McEwen. William McMillan was one of the commissioners who laid out the town of Mercer. He and Thomas were both Revolutionary soldiers. William drew a pension.
