Neil Macmillan, father of Margaret Macmillan, was born between 1740 and 1752
in Campbeltown. There are, in fact, three Neil MacMillans born in Campbeltown
parish that were about the right age. Their birth years were 1741, 1750, and
1752.
[738] Neal, 15 March 1741, Malcolm MacMillan/Mary McNeillage
[739] Neill, 9 May 1750, John Macmillan/Mary Bleu
[740] Neill, 1 July 1752, Alexander MacMillan/ Mary McIsack
[741]
Any one of these three could be the right age to father the first child, born
1772, of the union with Isobel McConochy. Since Isobel McConochy was probably
born in 1750, it does not seem likely that husband would be younger than she,
tending to disqualify the youngest choice. Likewise, the nine year difference
in ages would tend to disqualify the oldest choice whose name is spelled
differently from our Neill. Therefore, while awaiting further evidence, I
have assumed that the parents of Neill (10) are John Macmillan (20) and Mary
Bleu (21) and that Neill was born on 9 May 1750. It is possible that John
Macmillan (20) was born 11 February 1725 in Campbeltown the son of More
MacMillan (40).
[742]
There is no record in Argyll of the marriage between Neill and Isabel. We can
presume that the marriage took place around 1770 or 1771 (before the birth of
their first child in 1772). There are no records for the baptism of any of
Isabel's siblings (if there were any). We therefore have little knowledge of
the migration of the McConochy family. We have no way of knowing whether the
marriage took place near Campbeltown where Neil lived or in Kilfinan parish
where Isabel was born.
[743]
According to the Parochial Registers, Neill and Isobel had six daughters (and
no sons) who were baptized, all in Campbeltown:
[744]
Isabell 11 May 1772
Margaret 21 Nov 1776 (mother of Neill McCuaig)
Ann 1 Oct 1778
Jean 1 Nov 1784
Charlott 30 Nov 1786
Ann 9 May 1792
[745]
It can be surmised that Ann, born 1778, must have died in childhood, probably
after age eight (when Charlott was born) , since the last daughter, born 1792,
was also name Ann. It is noteworthy that all these names (save Jean) appear
later in the McCuaig family. This would seem to confirm that of the eight
Margaret MacMillans born between 1770 and 1780, this is the one most likely to
be the Margaret Macmillan who married Donald McCuaig and who was the mother of
Neill.
[746]
We have every reason to believe that Neill Macmillan was a farmer based on the
listing of a farm name, Auchahine (or Auchenhoad) in the register when each of
his daughters was born. I await further information from the estate records
concerning the leasing of this farm to determine something more about the
Neill Macmillan family. The farm was located about three miles south east of
Campbeltown.

Argylshire the son of Donald McCuaig (4), a carpenter, and his wife Margaret
McMillan (5). His birth is recorded in the Campbeltown parish register as
follows:
"Donald McCuaig & Margaret Macmillan in town had a lawful
son born 18th, baptised 20th named Neil"
He was the third of nine children and the second son. Little is known of his
early life. Since his father was a skilled tradesman and the family lived in
the town, the largest in the region, it can be presumed that he received basic
schooling. No doubt, the Church of Scotland (Presbyterian) played a
significant part in the life of young Neill as it did for all Highland Scots
of the period.
Campbeltown. This is recorded in the Campbeltown parish registers as follows:
"Neill McCuaig labourer and Margaret Johnston both of this
parish were married 21 Sept 1826"
brothers who were carpenters and blacksmiths. Neil had a varied early life as
chronicled by his listed profession in the Parochial Registers at his marriage
and at the birth of each of his children:
Sept 1826 labourer
June 1827 brewer
April 1829 labourer
June 1831 farmer Ballyvouline
July 1833 farmer
July 1834 farmer
"Ballyvouline" in the 1831 entry is a local farm name. Elizabeth Marrison,
president of the Kintyre Antiquarian Society, and an historian of local farm
records, offered some very useful information:
"Ballywilline Farm is on the outskirts of Campbeltown, just
before you enter the Royal Burgh. The Currie's were tenants
there from 1787. The name was often spelled Ballyvouline.
Donald Shaw was tenant there in the 1830's and gave it up in
1846. I have no mention of McCuaigs here at all, especially
as a tenant. He looks to have been a labourer, rather than
a tenant."
"I came across Neill McCuaig who became tenant in Calliburn
(also called Killypole) in 1837. In 1815 William Steward
renewed his lease on Calliburn for 19 years. In 1826 he
wrote to the Duke of Argyll asking for a new lease in the
name of his son-in-law, Dougald McDougall, which he got.
Dougald and his wife gave up the lease in 1837 and moved to
a smaller farm nearby. The new incoming tenant was
described as 'Neill McCuaig, tenant in North Ballywilline'.
The lease was for nineteen years and the rent was 70 pounds
yearly. This was followed by a John Blair from Renfrewshire
taking over the tenancy in 1838, a year later, as 'sometimes
possessed by Neill McCuaig". Next I have an Alex Macmillan
from Campbeltown taking over the tenancy in 1842 'as
sometimes possessed by Neill McCuaig' - which was four years
later still. Which was right? Did Neill give up the
tenancy in 1838 or in 1942? Or could the farm have lain
empty for a short time while a tenant was found?" Calliburn is found
about four miles north of Campbeltown about two miles inland from the eastern
coast of Kintyre. Mrs.
Marrison's question may be answered by the Scottish census of 1841 which shows
Neil McCuaig and his family still living in Calliburn in June of 1841. Also
living on the farm are six other family groups, each in a separate dwelling, a
total of 32 individuals, 15 adults and 17 children. The men are all listed as
farmers or agricultural laborers except one who is listed as a blacksmith.
Two family groups are Macmillans who may have been cousins of Neil McCuaig.
For whatever reason, Neil seemed quite mobile and his tenancy was apparently
none too stable or successful. We can presume that this was more due to the
difficulties of Scottish life than to any ineptitude or lack of ambition on
the part of Neil. To the contrary, having a tenancy at all was a position of
some achievement and we do know that he supported a wife and a large family
and accumulated enough funds for his emigration to America. Finally, there is
every reason to believe that Neil McCuaig was a man of industry and stability
based on the success of his ventures in America and the obvious good character
of his offspring.
Scotland.
John 7 June 1827 (not in 1841 census)
Mary 30 April 1829
Margaret 9 June 1831
John 11 July 1833 (not in 1841 census)
Isabella Macmillan 23 July 1834
Daniel 9 Nov 1839
The first born child, John, died before his sixth birthday in 1833 as
confirmed by the naming of another child John in 1833 (a common practice).
The second John is absent from the 1841 census and is presumed also to have
died prior to that time.
Margaret had ten children, three of which died in childhood". The records show
nine children, six born in Scotland and three born in America. This leaves
one child and one childhood death unaccounted for. Family legend tells us
that a son died on the long trip to America and was buried at sea. This
child, whose name is unknown to us, could only have been born after June 14
1841, the day of the census, and must have died on the voyage as an infant.
family moved to town of Greenock on the Clyde estuary. Greenock was one a
principle sea port in Western Scotland and could have been a logical place to
go to arrange for and await passage to America. They apparently lived there
for awhile but it is likely that this was only for a few months. There were
several McCuaig families living in Greenock at that time, including Neil's
younger brother Kenneth. It was there, Anna Lowe writes, that "some of the
children were born". This reference would seem to apply to the unlucky child
who died on the ship although this is not confirmed by any civil or church
records.
.
Why did Neill McCuaig decide to emigrate? Aside from the general situation in
rural Scotland with an expanding population and limited opportunities, the
evidence suggests that Neil had problems with the lease on the farm. Neil's
older brother, John, had emigrated to America and undoubtably wrote back to
the family extolling the virtues of the new world.
.
Other Campbeltown families must also have played a major role in influencing
the McCuaigs. Neil McCuaig's uncle David Breckenridge (spelled Brakenridge in
the Scottish records) emigrated to Marietta Ohio in 1834 with his large family
of eleven children. The Breckenridge family were natives of Campbeltown and
were later pioneers in White County, Indiana. As such they were part of the
general Campbeltown migration to America. Three of Neil McCuaig's children
married Breckenridges.
.
Thus in April or May of 1842, when Neill McCuaig was 41 years of age, the
family consisting of the parents and five children, ranging in age from
infancy to 13, sailed from Glascow Scotland for America on the ship Eveline.
Accompaning the family was a Robert Johnston, age 29, a laborer. He is
presumed to be related to Margaret, but the exact relationship is not clear.
.
According to shipping records and the Lloyds registry of ships, The Eveline,
John Thompson, captian was of moderate size, 301 tons, and carried 119
passengers, all declared emigrants, of varying ages, gender, and professions.
Based on the tonnage, the Eleline was probably about 150 feet long with three
masts and was rigged with square sales. Although the details of the sea
voyage are not known, it is likely that the trip was very harsh with the
emigrant passengers treated little better than cargo. The Eveline, like all
ships of the day, was a sailing vessels, and the passage from Scotland to
America typically took anywhere from six to twelve weeks. The journey was
usually very rough with all passengers crowded into cargo holds with little or
no light, heat, air, or sanitation. Rude bunks were provided for sleeping.
Privacy was unknown. Generally, provisions for the passage were carried by the
passengers themselves. As mentioned earlier, family legend indicates that the
infant son fell ill on the voyage and died. He was, it is told, buried at sea.
One can only imagine the emotional impact this voyage had on the family,
especially the children.
.
On the 30th of June, 1842 they arrived at New York. The family was probably
processed at Castle Gardens emigration station located near the Battery.
According to Margaret McCuaig Heath (Neil's great granddaughter), the family
bought passage by canal to Ohio, but the tickets turned out to be bogus. Thus
the family was stranded in New York without funds for the overland journey.
Neil McCuaig was able to obtain employment on the canal boat and thereby was
able to work for the cost of passage to Pittsburgh. From Pittsburg the family
travelled down the Ohio River to Marietta, Ohio where Neil's older brother,
John, lived. John was a blacksmith in Marietta. We can assume that he had
encouraged his brother to emigrate and had, no doubt, made some arrangements.
next year either as a farm laborer or by leasing a farm. There are no records
of his having bought a farm in Washington County. While in Washington County,
two daughters were born:
Charlotte, born 6 Mar, 1844
Anna, born 12 March 1847
Four years later in 1846, Neil's younger brother Kenneth, born in 1803,
emigrated with his three young sons, Kenneth, David, and Daniel. He arrived
in New York on the 15th of September, 1846.
Kenneth was a widower since the death of his wife Mary Davidson three years
earlier. He was a carpenter like his father. Four year later (as documented
by the 1850 census), he was still living with his brother John and his family
in Marietta, Ohio.
Kenneth remained in Marietta until his retirement in 1880 at which point he
moved to White County Indiana and lived with his son David who operated the
premier hotel in Monticello, the McCuaig house.
to Hamilton County Ohio, near Cincinnati, where they worked a farm in Sycamore
Township. It was here that their final child was born:
Jane, born June 1850.
The family now consisted of 7 children, 6 daughters and one son.
County to a large farm about five miles north of Monticello. Neil bought the
farm from his uncle John Dunlop, another emigree from Campbeltown who had
moved to White county five years earlier in 1851. This large spread became the
site of the County Asylum around 1900. It appears that brother Kenneth
McCuaig's son Daniel also moved with the family to White County and might have
labored on his Uncles's farm for awhile.
his testimony he swore to "renounce forever allegiance and fidelity to any
foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty whatever and particularly to
Victoria Queen of whom he is a subject"
60, died unexpectedly, reasons unknown. He was buried in the Monticello
Cemetery. After Neil's death, full responsibility for the operation of the
farm and the support of his mother and five sisters fell on the only son,
Daniel, age 21. Daniel was able, for $1000, to buy a deferrment from service
in the Union Army.
