Cantyre), Scotland. The 40-mile long Kintyre Peninsula is in Argyllshire, a rural county on the west coast of Scotland. ARGYLLSHIRE, SCOTLAND The heritage of Mary Ann McMillan, mother of my grandmother, Adrianne Harp Moore, goes straight back to that peninsula. The migration route of her McMillan family was from the Kintyre Peninsula to North Carolina to River Junction Florida. Mary Ann McMillan met William Dixon HARP [see HARP chapter] when he was managing a farm owned by her father in Bainbridge, GA. Mary Ann and "Billy" Harp later moved back up to the Garden Valley area of Macon County, GA. Their vernacular-style plantation house is still standing and has been kept in excellent condition by the Harp family. Because of rivalries among the clans, the McMillans were by the 17th century located in "pockets" in different parts of Scotland. Kintyre was one of the areas where the McMillan name was common. An extensive history of the McMillan clan can be found online at www.clanmacmillan.org. During the 1700s there was a constant stream of population from Scotland to America. North Carolina was a favorite destination, especially in the early 1770s. Some ships carrying these Scots arrived at Philadelphia; others went straight to Wilmington, N.C. Some of the Scots were merchants and craftspeople; most were farmers. They emigrated because they wanted better economic opportunities and they had heard, via letters from their friends who were already settled in North Carolina, that the land there was exceptionally fertile. "Education was widespread in Scotland and you will find that most of your Scot ancestors were literate. As early as the 17th century the immigrants were writing letters home telling of their success and prosperity and describing the beauty and richness of their settlements."#1 In Argyllshire, and other counties in Scotland, rents were high, and agricultural lands were being turned to the raising of sheep, which put a lot of farming families out of work.# 2 The people from Kintyre, Argyllshire were accustomed to being near the sea, so the coastal area of North Carolina was a compatible place for them. When a family group arrived, they found plenty of other Scots, including kinsmen, ready to help them get settled. Many would move west, deeper into North Carolina, and their descendants would move to other states. The Scots, even though they had many fights with the English over the centuries, were for the most part loyalists and would side with the Crown during the American Revolution. The first representatives of our direct line of McMillans to arrive in North Carolina were Gilbert McMillan and his wife Christian Taylor McMillan.#3 They emigrated from Campbelltown, Kintyre, Scotland, to Robeson County, North Carolina, in 1770. Along with them came their daughter Effie and her husband John Gilchrist,#4 and their son Archibald McMillan. Archibald McMillan married Catherine McArthur, but no further details are known about her. Gilbert and Christian had seven children in all, but the two that concern us are Effie and Archibald. Gilbert McMillan died in 1772, not long after the family had settled in America. Christian McMillan was known as "Fair Christian" because of her light colored hair, and she became a matriarch to the Scotch settlers of the whole area, advising them on religious, social and medical matters, and delivering babies. She is said to have traveled widely on a gray pony, sometimes as far as fifty miles away. In Lumber River Scots, Christian McMillan is described as one of America’s great pioneer women. She has thousands of descendants throughout the South and the rest of the United States. From Robert Gilchrist’s History of the Gilchrist Family: "During the bleak period of the Revolution when not only medical supplies became scarce but fear and distrust created an unsealed atmosphere, one woman came forward to render such unselfish service that her name has been forever stamped into the region’s history. She was the mother-in-law of John Gilchrist --- Christian McMillan, known to all people in upper Robeson County and neighboring areas by the Gaelic name Chriosdaidh Ban." [Fair Christian] Our family is twice descended from Gilbert and Christian McMillan, once as descendants of Effie and John Gilchrist and once as descendants of Archibald and Catherine McMillan. Because of limitations of space, and because these Scots are so well documented in other print sources, I cannot name all of the Effie descendants and all of the Archibald descendants and their cousins. It will be sufficient for the purpose of this essay just to present the some of the branches of our own tree. For those who want to explore further, these lines are literally dense with history. First, the Effie line: Effie was the daughter of Gilbert and Christian McMillan and emigrated to North Carolina with them. From her grave marker in Robeson County: "Effie, wife of John Gilchrist Sr., died AD 1794 age 46 years. The deceased sustained a spotless reputation; possessed a sound energetic and discriminating mind and was for 20 years a communicant member of the Presbyterian Church. Native of Cantire, Scotland. Emigrated in 1770." The birthdate is based on the fact that she was twenty-two when married in the Highland Church of Scotland in Campbelltown, Scotland. John Gilchrist was married to Effie McMillan and emigrated to North Carolina with Effie and her mother and father and probably others. From his grave marker: "To the memory of John Gilchrist this marble is inscribed. He died in May, 1802, aged 62. He had a vigorous mind much improved by education and travel. He was a patron of learning, often a legislator. A Presbyterian in faith, in morals circumspect and fond of piety." The home of John and Effie has been restored as a historic site in what is now Hoke County, NC, formerly a part of Robeson County. "Mill Prong House retains the distinguished architectural quality which sets it above the other plantation seats in the portion of Robeson County that became Hoke County in 1911. The plantation, with its manor house and cemetery, also retains the important historical associations which ally it with the most prominent Highland Scots families in the upper Cape Fear region. Built in the late 18th century by John Gilchrist (1740 - 1802), an important political and social leader of the community, the house is one of the few remaining houses known to have been built by an immigrant Highland Scot. Guided tours of the home are provided several times a year and appointments are available."#5 THE RESTORED MILL PRONG HOUSE, HOME OF JOHN AND EFFIE GILCHRIST, HOKE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA To continue our line, we move to Margaret Gilchrist, daughter of John and Effie. Margaret was born 1775 in Robeson County, N.C., likely in the house pictured above. She married John McPhaul (Jr.) about 1795. He was son of John McPhaul (Sr.) who was the son of Neill McPhaul. Neill McPhaul was a widower and married a widow from Virginia, Ann Perkins. John McPhaul (Sr.) married Mary Perkins ("Pretty Molly"). The last mentioned couple were the parents of John McPhaul Jr. In other words, father and son met and married a mother and daughter in America. The name of John McPhaul (Jr.), son of John, Sr. and Pretty Molly, is listed in "Abstract of Pay due sundry officers and privates of the Royal North Carolina Militia of Bladen County, now in Charleston," document dated 17 January 1782. He was a private in the British army.# There is much that could be written about the McPhauls – all of these Scotch families are interesting—but I will leave that to some future family genealogist.# The children of John Jr. and Margaret Gilchrist McPhaul were (not a complete list): William McPhaul Malcolm McPhaul John McPhaul Daniel McPhaul Angus McPhaul Mary Gilchrist McPhaul, our ancestor, b. 1808-1810, Robeson County, NC, d. 1887, Gadsden County, FL; m. John "Florida John" McMillan abt 1828 in NC. "Florida John," called so to distinguish him from other Johns in the family, was b. 1800, in NC and d. December 29, 1866, Gadsden County FL. These were the parents of Mary Ann McMillan Harp, and the grandparents of my grandmother, Adrianne Harp Moore. From Lumber River Scots: "Mary Gilchrist McPhaul, the eighth child and second daughter of Margaret Gilchrist and John McPhaul, was reared near McPhaul’s Mill# in Robeson County. She grew up to be a very beautiful young woman and was called ‘Pretty Mary.’ She doubtless inherited some of this beauty from her grandmother, Mary Perkins McPhaul, called ‘Pretty Molly.’ She was sent by her uncle, John Gilchrist, Jr., or Lawyer Gilchrist, to a school for girls, said to have been in Montgomery [or Yadkin] county. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also said to have had a very bright mind. Upon her return from school, she, rather unknown to her family, married John McMillan. "Her uncle, John Gilchrist, Jr., was very much opposed to this marriage and is said never to have recovered from this disappointment…. John ["Florida John"] McMillan was the son of Archibald McMillan, who was a brother of Effie McMillan Gilchrist, wife of John Gilchrist, Sr. He was therefore the first cousin of the mother of Mary Gilchrist McPhaul…." Florida John’s grandparents (Gilbert and Christian McMillan) were Pretty Mary’s great-grandparents.# Are you confused yet? My grandmother, Adrianne Harp Moore, said that such cousin marriages were not all that uncommon in those days, and that Lawyer Gilchrist was so possessive because he was actually in love with "Pretty Mary" himself and didn’t want to see her move away. Is this romantic, or what? Now, let’s go back to Archibald McMillan, brother of Effie, son of Gilbert and Christian and father of Florida John. Here is the Will of Archibald McMillan, executed January 1, 1824, in Robeson County, North Carolina: "In the name of God, amen, Archibald McMillan of the County of Robeson in the state of North Carolina, weak in body but sound in mind and memory, and knowing that it is the lot of all human beings to Depart from their Terrestrial abode, have made this my last will and testament, in form and manner following, (viz): "Imprimus – I give and bequeath unto my dearly beloved wife [Catherine McArthur McMillan] the plantation whereon I now live with all and every of its improvements, my Negro fellow, Jack, and Negro woman, Bridget, for all and during her lifetime. Should, however, my mother wish to live separately in a house to herself, she shall in that case be at liberty to build a house on any part of my lands that she may think proper – [His mother was the indomitable ‘Fair Christian’ Taylor McMillan.] "Item—I give unto my daughter, Mary, my Negro girl, Fanny, to her and her heirs forever. "Item – I give unto my son, Duncan, one-half of the whole of my lands (respect being had to value as well as quantity) that may be left after deducting three hundred acres including the plantation whereon I now live, which will be hereinafter more particularly described, as also my Negro fellow, Dick, to him, his heirs and assigns – "Item – I give unto my son, Peeter, the other half of my lands that may be left after the deduction of three hundred acres aforesaid 9he already having a title for the Negro Boy, Macklaw, to him, his heirs and assigns. "Item – I give unto each of my daughters, Effy Christianna, and Cathrine, one hundred dollars each as also my Negro girl, Chancy, to be jointly between them until she has ‘sprie’ sufficient for each of my said daughters to have one negro apiece, then Chancy with her after sprie jointly to behold to my three sons their heirs and assigns forever. "Item – I give unto my son John, my negro boy Simon as also the plantation whereon I now live, with three hundred acres to include it and to be laid off in such a manner as to be most beneficial to him, his heirs and assigns forever, after his mother’s death. My ‘cavering" horse I wish sold to the best advantage and the money to be divided among all my children, the rest of my horses I leave to the use of my whole family to remain on the plantation. Should there be any increase, I wish it sold and be equally divided among all my children. Stocks of all kinds and farming utensils I wish to remain on the plantation as they now stand to the common use of the family. The negro girl, Hannah, after my mother’s death, to be equally divided among my three sons, she and her sprie, should there be any, as also Jack and Bridget, after my wife’s death, as well as all or any property not hereon innumerated [sic], to them, their Heirs and Assigns. "The annual surplus of crops and also of the growth of the stocks, I wish appropriated to the Education of my children. "I nominate, constitute and appoint Angus Gilchrist, Robert Sellars and my beloved wife, Catherine McMillan, executors and executrix of this my last will and Testament. "In testimony whereof I hereunto, in my perfect senses, set my hand and affixed my seal the first day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and four. Arch’d McMillan (seal)" Now, let us return to our eloping couple, "Florida John" McMillan and "Pretty Mary" Gilchrist McPhaul. From North Carolina, they relocated to northern Florida, at the junction of the Chattahoochee and Apalachicola rivers. The site, descriptively, was called River Junction, in the county of Gadsden. Perhaps Florida John financed the move South by disposing of his share of the North Carolina land to his brothers and sisters. When did their journey take place? In the mid-1820’s would be the logical date. "Andrew Jackson returned to Florida in 1821 to establish a new territorial government on behalf of the United States. What the U.S. inherited was a wilderness sparsely dotted with settlements of native Indian people, African Americans, and Spaniards. As a territory of the United States, Florida was particularly attractive to people from the older plantation areas of Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, who arrived in considerable numbers."# At any rate, the adventurous couple joined a wagon caravan going to Florida. Adrianne Harp Moore# wrote this description of the journey from North Carolina to Florida undertaken by her grandparents: "The caravan, like time, moved slowly, but also, like time, it moved inexorably. It swayed, it creaked, sometimes it groaned under the burden of humans and chattels, but it never faltered. The brilliant mountainsides, already touched by a light frost, were earlier replaced by soberer greener landscapes; the birds, forewarned of coming winter, followed in droves, miles-long columns of wild pigeons and blackbirds darkening the afternoon sky. The foothills gradually surrendered to the valley settlements and the river plantations, with their picturesque boat landings, where eager crowds awaited the low, moaning whistle of the river-boats, bring and taking on cargoes of passengers, cotton and naval stores, a service that had preceded roads and railroads. The pioneers sensed that they were a part of a great movement and they were fairly bursting with a strange, new virility. A succession of beautiful rivers fired their imagination—the Swananoa, which they left behind, the Savannah, the Oconee, the Ocmulgee, easily crossed; the Thronateeska (Flint), hurrying to join the Chattahoochee to make the spreading Apalachicola, which would carry the fruits of their labors to the ends of the earth, left nothing to be desired. A real mission was directing them. "The evening campfires and stories were not unlike the Canterbury scenes, each narrator remembering with an unconscious wistfulness the incidents of the world he had left, proud of an audience that would listen. Visitors came from the river plantations along this route, eager, perchance, for news of friends and loved ones left behind by former pilgrimages, bringing gifts of wild turkeys and venison, harbingers of the bounty they would find in the unknown land [Florida]. "As they neared their destination, settlements were becoming sparser, nature lusher, and wind animals bolder. Sometimes deer would leap across the narrow road and once a bear, aroused by the wagon clatter, from his feast at a bee tree, moved gingerly into a thicket, leaving to the invaders the honey he had found…." Florida John and Pretty Mary had nine children after settling in Florida: Amanda McMillan, b. Gadsden Co., FL Margaret McMillan, b. Gadsden County FL, m. Jason Gregory Caroline McMillan, b. Gadsden County FL, m. Christopher Columbus Kyle Archibald McMillan, b. Gadsden Co., FL, m. Fannie Shepherd Henry McMillan, b. Gadsden Co. FL, attended medical school at Chapel Hill, NC but didn’t finish because of the Civil War. Never married. Frances McMillan, b. Gadsden Co., FL, d. Oct. 28, 1873 of yellow fever. M. Henry Houston Spear. John McMillan, b. Gadsden County, FL Indiana McMillan, b. 1848, Gadsden County, FL, d. July 5, 1896. She married Henry Houston Spear, widower of her sister Frances Mary Ann McMillan, b. Oct. 6, 1850, Gadsden Co., FL; d. June 29, 1910, Macon County GA, Garden Valley Community between Oglethorpe and Reynolds GA. Married William Dixon Harp (covered in the HARP chapter) on Sept. 20, 1871. MARY ANN MCMILLAN HARP (1850-1910) hand-tinted photo taken 1870s? Mary Ann Harp nee McMillan grew up on her father’s plantation at River Junction, Florida. She graduated from Andrew College in Cuthbert, GA. [Her older sisters went all the way back to North Carolina to Floral College.] She was the mother of my grandmother, Adrianne Harp Moore. She was said to have been a very sweet and charitable lady with a clever sense of humor. My grandmother said that her mother was the only woman in their area who rode horseback with a side-saddle. In 1871 she married William Dixon Harp, whom she called "Billy." They moved to Macon County GA. She sewed for herself and family, raised chickens and garden vegetables, peeled and dried peaches, and in general had many practical accomplishments. My grandmother said that Mary Ann raised peafowl and guinea hens and that she and husband Billy planted the scuppernong vines that still grow at the Garden Valley home. She had a yearly steamboat pass and would travel with one or more children down the Chattahoochee from Columbus GA to River Junction to visit her homefolks. MARY ANN MCMILLAN HARP’S STEAMBOAT PASS, 1900 Adrienne Harp Moore# wrote the following description, heard from Mary Ann McMillan Harp, of life on her grandparents’ plantation at River Junction, FL, during the Ante-Bellum era.# "Then, as now, New York was the Mecca of Americans….is it any wonder then that all was excitement on the great plantation when it was known that the master was leaving in a few days on his annual trip to New York to get all the things they needed? "Thirty years of Florida sunshine had left their imprint on the young bridegroom whose instinct, spirit of adventure, bravery, love of country (call it what you will) had drawn him to this unknown land. His graying temples, his piercing gray-blue eyes, his firm, gentle mein bespoke power. "’Begin measuring," he was saying to the tall Negro standing by. Measuring…? What….? But Captain knew. He had done it often before. "The Negro men moved up, one by one, followed by the women, and Captain, with a pencil and paper and expert hands, carefully traced each foot for sizes of shoes to be bought in New York." "Food was no object in this new and fertile land. There were bread and syrup almost for the asking; the fields abounded with vegetables and tobacco; the hunter had only to search the river bottoms for the wild deer and wild boar and wild turkeys that roamed at will, and goats were everywhere…." Off limits, of course, was the tame deer, belled for safety, that roamed the yard. But, Adrianne Harp Moore explained, the spinning wheel could not keep up with the needs for clothing on a big plantation. The women in the sewing room, both black and white, wanted bolts of yard goods, and just as today, they wanted new dresses. During the Civil War, some of McMillan sons joined the cavalry. They took along the plantation’s right hand man, Captain, to help care for their horses. As Sherman approached Savannah, and it looked as if the end of the Confederacy come soon, the governor’s family refugeed to the McMillan plantation. Florida John, now in his 70s, directed the slaves to hide hundreds of bales of cotton in the forest. When Northern victory was proclaimed, John McMillan gave each of his former slaves a year’s supply of corn and syrup (rations, they called it) and $20 in gold. My grandmother said in her memoirs that he knew they would leave, but where would they go, and how would they live? He was concerned for their welfare. The McMillans continued to farm in that area, but not on the Ante-Bellum scale. I remember my grandmother telling me an anecdote about her grandmother ("Pretty Mary") who apparently remained strong-willed to the end. It seems that Mary Ann was trying to get her little daughter Adrianne to take some medicine, but Adrianne, being fussy, didn’t like the looks of the spoon. Mary Ann asked if she could have a silver spoon and, her mother, who had given birth to nine children herself, apparently lost her cool over what she perceived as pampering. She tossed the silver chest on the bed and exclaimed, "Here! Take it all!"# A McMillan descendant from Quincy, FL, wrote me the following: "I have the location in Gadsden Co., where John McMillan’s family is buried….it is adjacent to the old home place that I recently found out was torn down a few years ago, what a shame. The property is now owned by a huge lumber company, but I have received permission to go on the property to locate the cemetery. It is heavily grown and may take a while to find."# Mary Ann frequently wrote her homefolks. Here are excerpts from a letter written from Garden Valley GA to her sister (Amanda McMillan Kyle) and mother on April 29, 1875: "The time for writing has come again, but enough with it—nothing new. It seems a dead calm so far as new is concerned. Clevie [Cleveland Harp, older brother of Adrianne] continues to improve from my last writing and today looks like an hundred-leaf rosebud, so fresh, big, and full of life. His two upper teeth are through and I think two of his bottom teeth are nearly through. I wish every day you could see him. He knows his bonnet and will point to it or get it for anyone that comes in. Then if he does not get a walk, he will cry. Ask him where his papa is, he will point to Billie’s picture hanging up….Billie and I keep very well. I have not become acclimatized with regard to the people yet. They seem to be very distant. You know that is characteristic of most all places, when a stranger first goes to a place. "Mrs. Potter….speaks of going with me down the country in September as far as Bainbridge….I will be very glad for her to go. It will be so much pleasanter traveling with company." "One more unfortunate has gone to her rest. The cow Mrs. Murray loaned us got in the bog and died. So we are without milk, only as some humane friends send us a little." "It has been raining since dinner though not sufficient for a season. The farmers were very anxious for a rain to bring up the cotton. My garden continues to grow and looks well. Mr. Murray got in some new goods yesterday. Think I will get me a dress tomorrow. I made me a basque by the pattern I sent off for. It fit real nice. I know you will like it….anyway I am going to make the first dress I get by it, then will send you the patterns. Times are too hard up here for the people to dress much. The height of their ambition is calico." From another letter (July 26, 1876): "Billie bought 12 shoats last week. He has now 17. Thinks he can make them make meat enough for us another year. I get a good many eggs. Have had two chicken pies and four fried chickens." "Sister, I can’t think of anything else to write so will quit. Will tell you what we had for dinner as just got up from the table. Owing to have to dry peaches we had a fried dinner – biscuit, corn and fried meat. Butterbeans, Irish potatoes, grape pies." Such was the busy life of a farm wife in Georgia in the late 19th century. Mary Ann and Billie Harp had four children: Cleveland Jay Harp, 1875-1948 Adrianne Harp, 1879-1964 Elma Gray Harp, 1882-1950 William Dixon Harp, Jr., 1888-1948 The HARP family will be the subject of another chapter. NOTES: # Myra Vanderpool Gormley, from American Genealogy Magazine, Vol 4, No. 1 # Informations Concerning the Province of North Carolina Addressed to Emigrants from the Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland by an Impartial Hand, Glasgow, 1773 North Carolina Department of Archives & History, The Colonial Records Project, online at www.ah.dcr.state.bc.us/sections/hp/Colonial/Bookshelf. # The primary source for information about the Scots who settled in Robeson County, North Carolina, is a monumental privately printed 839 pp genealogical work entitled Lumber River Scots, Richmond, VA (1949). By Dr. John Edwin Purcell. It covers McLean, Purcell, Torrey, Gilchrist, McBryde and other allied families. My grandmother, Adrianne Harp Moore, contributed the history of her family to this book. I have donated the copy she owned to the genealogy room of the Washington Memorial Library in Macon GA so that it will be in a safe place where others can access it. The Mill Prong Preservation Society of Lumberton, NC, reprinted a limited edition of Lumber River Scots in 1986. Except where cited otherwise, it is my main source for McMillan genealogy. There are a few errors in Lumber River Scots, not surprising for such a massive work. The correct maiden name for Christian McMillan is Taylor, not McBryde, for example. McMillan information appears under the Gilchrist heading. # The main source for my Gilchrist information, other than Lumber River Scots, is from History of the Gilchrist Family, by Robert W. Gilchrist of Titusville FL, Chapter III. Sadly, Mr. Gilchrist and his wife were killed in an auto accident. The work remains unpublished, but it is currently available on the internet. I would advise anyone who is interested in this family to have a look at this definitive work while it is available on the internet. #5 LEARN NC, The North Carolina Teacher’s Network internet web site (2004) The picture of Mill Prong House is from the same source. # 6 This information was found at the website entitled North Carolina Loyalists during the American Revolution. # 7 The will of Mary Perkins McPhaul, Robeson County, Feb. term, 1816, shows her to have died a wealthy widow. An intriguing sideline is that she owned a distillery. The will includes the bequeathing of numerous slaves. Although our twenty-first century family considers slavery iniquitous, it was not thought so by plantation owners in the 18th and 19th centuries. That our plantation ancestors were slave-holders is a matter of historical fact and part of the times in which they lived. She was literate and signed her own will, though with a shaky hand. #8 Incidentally, site of a Revolutionary War skirmish. # 9 In a gedcom file given to some of you earlier, I may have made a generational error. # 10 "A Short History of Florida," Florida Divisionof Historical Resources, http://dhr.dos.state.fl.us/flafacts/shorthis.html (2004) # 11 From "Pictures from the Past," an unpublished memoir by Adrianne Harp Moore, abt. 1955. # 12 In her memoir, "Pictures from the Past," part III #13 She remembered a time when she and her mother arrived at the landing at River Junction when it was pitch dark. They were met by servants from the McMillan household bearing torches. She was fretful and the big strong servant who carried her to the house whispered: "Hush, little girl, or the pant’ers will get you." She tried to be very quiet the rest of the way. #14 From The Last Will and Testament of Margaret Gilchrist McPhaul, Robeson County NC, May term, 1834: "I give and bequeath to my son, John, one bed and its necessary furniture. To my son Angus, I give and bequeath a bed and furniture. To Daniel the clock. I bequeath to my daughter, Mary, the silver spoons. To my son William, I give and bequeath One Hundred Dollars to be raised from the sale of so much of my property for the purpose of assisting him in his education. I also give him a filly. All the rest and residue of my property I give and bequeath to my sons William and Malcolm, to be divided between them, share and share alike, after my debts are paid." #15 Letter from Jane Wagner Clark of Quincy FL to Kristina Simms, June 28, 1998.
