I am trying to find more about my ggg-grandfather, one Thomas McMillen (often spelled McMillan). It is known (by me) that he emigrated to what is now Henry County and was a farmer in Center Township. He took his wife Mary (Hoagland) and several children, including I believe a son Thomas. He was born in York (now Adams County PA) in 1778 or 1884 (I have conflicting information). At an early age, he moved to the Pittsburg area. In 1812, he was a captain of a crew at Erie, PA helping to build the ships for Oliver Perry used in the Battle of Lake Erie (1913). It appears he was married in western PA before coming to Ohio in 1814. >From 1816 to 1823, he was Wayne County, Ohio's 1st state representative and state senator. He was a farmer and millowner. In 1840, he went to Iowa and according the the Wayne County, Ohio history was involved in the the Iowa territorial legislature. I also suspect that he was a Mason in Ohio and also belonged to the Mt. Pleasant Mason group. I wrote to the Mason's in Mt. Pleasant but have yet to hear from them. He died in 1852 and presumed buried in a cemetery close to Mt. Pleasant. I have little actual record of his existence/activities in Mt. Pleasant, other then what is in the Henry County, IA history, listed under is son Thomas and the 1850 IA Federal census. His will ( probated in Wayne County, Ohio) was listed as missing on the county microfilm records. I think the original records have been since destroyed. I also found out that there is a McMillan Park in Mt. Pleasant. Is there some connection here? I am planning on visiting Mt. Pleasant next July to explore his history, but would appreciate any information. . In the meantime any infor or just leads about him and/or his immediate family or more recent descendents would be most welcome. If it is desirable, just send me a personal e-mail with your e-mail, mail addresses and or phone numbers. Roger Troutman RogerTrout@aol.com
