- "Archie MacMillan, son of John MacMillan, married a daughter of EwenMacMillan and settled on Let 20, Con 2. It was later discovered that thelot belonged to the Clergy Reserve, so he could not receive a deed forthe property. He traded this lot with Laughlin MacInnis for the east halfof Lot 36, Con 4, Township of Roxborough. He sold the Roxborough lot toHughie (The Crank) MacMillan and bought Lot 13, Con 7 in Finch Township.About 1839 he traded this lot for the east half of Lot 20, Con 3. AdamCockburn was apparently the "realtor" in the deal. He apparently got theeast half of Lot 20. Con 3 from the Camerons. Uncle Hughie bought thewest half of Lot 20, Con 3 in 1845 for tax areas. Archie MacMillan diedin 1848"
