The fonds consists of both original and typescript material which provides genealogical information for persons in Glengarry County and the neighbouring counties of Prescott and Dundas. The Almanac Diaries are a series of Canadian Farmer's Almanacs sewn together forming ten books. They include records of births, marriages and deaths for the above mentioned counties as well as notes for members of the McMillan family elsewhere in Canada and the United States. The fonds also contains a notebook of similar information contained in the Almanacs, a compilation of births, marriages, and deaths information, also from the Almanac Diaries as well as the notebooks of Mary Beaton.

Show detail Hide detail

McMillan, Angus Alexander, 1806-1884 (Family) : Augus Alexander "the Deacon" McMillan (1806-1884), a farmer of Glengarry County, Ontario, was the son of Alexander McMillan "The Bard" of Killmhaole and his wife Mary, who emigrated from Lochaber, Inverness-shire, in the summer of 1802. They travelled with the party of over 400 Scottish highlanders brought to Canada in the FRIENDS, JANE, and HELEN, by Archibald McMillan (1762-1832), Lochiel's tacksman for Murlaggan and Callich, and arrived at Montreal in September 1802. (For further information on the emigration, see the papers of Archivald McMillan and Family in MG 24, I 183). The family settled in Glengarry County, Upper Canada, and Angus A. McMillan was born in Kenyon Township in October 1806. He served as an elder and deacon of the (Free) Presbyterian Church of Canada at Kirkhill, Lochiel Township. He died on 16 August 1884.

Custodial history:

The original books in this unit became the property of Donald Donald McMillan of Plenty, Sasktachewan, son of Angus Alexander McMillan's son Donald Angus McMillan. D.D. McMillan gave them to his cousin Mary (Mrs. C.A.) Beaton of Ottawa, a great-niece of his mother Rachel McGillivray McMillan, and Mrs. Beaton presented them to the National Archives of Canada in 1972, together with her own transcripts and analysis of them.

The fonds was originally catalogued as MG25, G150, but was transferred to former archival reference number MG9, D8-78 in 1987. Because of their fragility, the original books have been withdrawn from use, but photocopies of them have been provided and these, together with Mrs. Beaton's transcripts, were microfilmed in 1987 and are also available on reel H-1808.

Availability of other formats note:

The fonds is available on reel H-1808 (entire reel).
