"My gt grandmother, Margaret MacMillan (b. c 1820) and her siblings,Johnny Archie (b. 1825 from whom Lyn descends); Hughie Archie; Jane (whomarried her cousin William MacMillan then settling near Owen Sound,Ontario); and Sarah, were the children of Archibald MacMillan (whosettled on Lot 20-3 Finch c 1839), son of John MacMillan of Callich (whofirst settled on Lot 22, Conc. 1 Finch Township)
John MacMillan of Callich (my gtgtgt), his brother Alexander (Lot 16-2Finch from whom Cassie descends) and their cousin, Angus (1766-1841 -tombstone) my gtgtgt, are listed under the 'Callich' segment of "ByegoneLochaber". Archibald MacMillan (Callich), my gtgt, was married to MarjoryMacMillan, daughter of Ewen MacMillan, son of Allan MacMillan ofGlenpean. "
"Donald Dubh's son, John, was ancestor of John of Callich(my gtggt)(father of Archibald Lot 20-3 Finch), who first settled Lot 22, Conc. 1Finch, and his brother, Alexander MacMillan, who first settled Lot 16-2Finch (Cassie's ancestor).

My Callich MacMillans are a younger branch of the Glenpean family(Glenpean and Callich are sites at Loch Arkaig near Fort William inScotland.), and John, my gtgtgt, Alexander, and Angus, my gtgtgt, alldescend from William 4th of Murlaggan a Lochaber MacMillan Chief.(c1598).
