General Notes: Husband - Daniel McMillen

---

He had a family of seven sons and four daughters. John was the eldest. They went to Venango County, Pennsylvania, in 1803. He served in the War of 1812, went to Erie, Pennsylvania.

He was of Scotch-Irish descent and a native of one of the eastern counties of Pennsylvania. His settlement in Victory Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, was made in 1802 upon a tract of five hundred acres, for which he paid a dollar an acre. He was accompanied by his wife and two children, and all their possessions were brought upon one horse. They lived in a tent until a log cabin with clapboard root and puncheon floor could be constructed. This stood within a few rods of Daniel McMillin's house, and some of the foundation stones were still visible in 1890. The old pioneer lived to an advanced age, dying in Rockland township, where he had numerous descendants. [HVC 1890, 741]

He was one of the early pioneers of Venango County, Pennsylvania. He first settled on a tract of land in Victory Township, where he lived for some years; then he located on a tract of land on the Allegheny River known as McMillin's Bend, later the location of the town of Kennerdell.

An on-line source states that he was born in NY.
