Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 3rd ed., 1886. Monroe County. JOHN T. McMILLIN was born January 15, 1827, in Jackson (now Clay) County, Tenn.; in 1832 removed with his parents to Monroe County, Ky., where he grew to manhood; and in 1850 settled in Dade County, Mo., where he remained until 1865; when he returned to Monroe County, his present home. In 1861 he enlisted in the Sixteenth Missouri Confederate Regiment, and remained in Price's army until the close of the war, participating in all the hard battles of that famous army corps. His father, P. Keenan McMillin, was born in Maryland in 1788; was a soldier in the war of 1812; and died in August, 1861. He was the son of Daniel McMillin, an Irishman, who was minister of the Gospel, and died in Indiana. Keenan married Mary Long, of Giles County, Tenn., born 1790, died 1865, and their offspring are Daniel, James, Jane (Kidwell), Eleanor (Bailey), John T. and Archibald (deceased). Mr. McMillin is taking an active interest in the education of his children, affording them far better opportunities than he ever possessed. In 1847 he married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas and Lucy (Lovell) Scott, of Clay County, Tenn. (born in 1828), and to them have been born Thomas K., Mary (Hestand), Lucy (Hutchens), James (deceased), Cordelia C. (Edwards), Daniel, Benton and Jennie E. Mr. McMillin is a farmer and trader, owning 550 acres of land, very productive, in a high state of cultivation. The subject was financially ruined by the late war, but by industry and close attention to business has secured a good property. In politics he is a Democrat.
