  1. This will looks like its for John McMillian Jr but it says William McMillian too. I'm researching John McMillian Jr. for family genealogy that fought in Rev War, Is this the same family or different? I have one reference that says John McMillian of PW had no children and then I have another John McMillian that died in Greenbrier County WV in 1804 that did have children. He was married in Fauquier County, Virginia on 4 Sep 1761 to Martha Palmer according to various sites on internet. I'm confused.

    1. Hi Joyce. You're absolutely correct that this should be John. Thank you for pointing out the error! I've corrected it on the blog entry.
