COCHRANE & William MILLAR from Alva, Scotland, whose second son Robert MILLAR came in 1848 to Lake Zurick, IL, thirty miles from Chicago. In 1850, his fiancee Jean BENNETT came from Scotland and they were married. In May 1856, nine adults and seven children started for Kansas but then decided to settle at North Bend on the Platte River, NE. In 1902, Robert's son Wm. MILLAR brought his wife Mary Jane & ch. Howard J., Wm. E., Dennis, Robert J., Frederick C., Edward L., & Florence to South Dakota. The wife, daughter, and son E. L. traveled by train to Chamberlain. The others traveled by covered wagon, trailing horses and cattle. When E. L. provided the article, Dennis was of Geddes; Frederick at Gregory, & E.L., Rapid City, SD. I think you can find more on the sons online on ssdi (Social Security Death Index.)
