From a family history entitled "The Millar Family in Canada" by Hilda Geddes:
"James Millar was born in Paisley, Scotland and came to Canada around 1840. He was accompanied by sisters Jeanie, Catherine and Margaret; his brother, Tom; another sister, widow Vera Ferguson and her two sons, James and Thomas."

James apparently born in Barony, Scotland, now swallowed up by Glasgow.
"JAMES MILLAR left this Broomalaw on the 18th. of April 1840 and sailed from Greenock. On the 27th. April 1840, was wrecked at sea after being 10 days out and finally landed at Quebec on the 13th. July,1840. James Millar copied exactly from his father's Reciner.(diary) This noted while at Sr.J's checked by me at Millar Block,North Battleford, Sask.-Visiting D Sr's father Grandpa-William Millar. Aug.-Sept.1930. Copied by Pauline E.W. (Johnson) Millar. Wife of Dr. Delbert John Millar. Aug.-Sept. 1930." Found on Internet family tree - unknown contact is obviously descendant of James Millar, but name not provided.
From "The Millar Family in Canada" by Hilda Geddes:"James Millar was born in Paisley, Scotland and came to Canada around 1840. He was accompanied by sisters Jeanie, Catherine and Margaret; his brother, Tom; another sister, widow Vera Ferguson and her two sons, James and Thomas."
Township of Palmerston, Lot 10 Concession 10, patent March 3 1854 from Crown to James Millar for E 1/2. Various other family dealings with the property over the years: Deed May 23, 1883 to Thomas Millar and wife from Elizabeth Shevlin (James' wife remarried name); Deed Aug 24 1891 to Canada Lumber Co from William Millar; B & S Dec 14 1899 from Elizabeth Shevlin to James Millar; B & S July 31 1902 from James Miller to Isaac Allan; Last Will dated Dec 18 1899 reg'd May 21 1903 Elizabeth Shevlin to Son William Miller; B & S Jun 1 1914 William Miller to Delbert Woods.
According to "Places in Ontario: Their Name Origins and History", on p. 161 re Palmerston township in Frontenac County "Palmerston Townshipis located in the northeast of Frontenac County, bordered by Lanark County to the east and Calrendon township to the west. It is bisected from west to east by the Mississippi River. It was named after the Third Viscount, Lord Palmerston. The land was opened up in 1822 and the survey completed in 1861. As the area is Canadian Shield and unsuited for agriculture, settlement was much later than in the south of the County.The first settlers who were mainly transient lumbermen and their families, had to blaze trails through the bush as there were no roads. Among the first permanent settlers were Mr. and Mrs. James Millar in 1846. In 1859 the completion of the Snow Road opened up the southeastern part of the township and in 1862 the first school was built at the village of Snow Road with William Hannah as the teacher. Snow Road grew in importance with the opening of a station on the new Kingston and Pembroke Railway in 1883. Among the early industries were the production of maple syrup, mixed farming, lumbering, and iron products from the Robertsville Iron Mining Company. Today tourism is the main industry, especially around Ompah on the shore of Trout Lake (now Palmerston Lake).Palmerston is united for municipal purposes with North and South Canonto. The combined permanent population of these townships is less than 500."
From "The Canadian Mississippi River" by Hilda Geddes, at p. 84-85: "The hamlet of Snow Road is situated on the north side of Millar's Lake, on Highway 509, in Palmerston township...In the early days the hub of Snow Road was the station area where the general store and post office were also located....Snow Road was a busy spot during the 1920s and '30s. Pulpwood was being shipped by the farmers from as far away as Watson's Corners. It was hauled by horses and sleighs, coming up Dalhousie Lake on the ice, up the Hydro hill, up the Mississippi River to Baflour's turn and thence to the station at Snow Road. It was common to see as many as 50 or more teams coming in hauling pulpwood and various other types of wood. Needless to say, there was pulpwood piled all over the place. This pulpwood was later loaded into box cars and shipped out on the K. and P. to both Canadian and foreign destinations. Maple syrupwas another large export every spring...There was more syrup shipped from Snow Road than anywhere else in the Dominion of Canada."
From the book "The Centenary of the Presbyterian Church of Canada, 1875-1975, Historical Sketch of McDonalds Corners, Snow Road and Elphin", Page 62: Mrs. Jas. Lett Remembers--Mr. and Mrs. Millar were the first owners of her farm--being given a crown deed by John Playfair in 1846. Two families have owned this farm, Millars and Letts, except for4years when it was farmed but not occupied. ............ Hugh Adams and Jas. Millar traded farms because Mrs. Adams was afraid of the Indians who camped nearby at the "Green Landing", or what was then known as"The Indian Lot". "Page 84 says the land was registered March 20, 1858.
Quoted from The Perth Courier, August 7, 1936: "THE HISTORY of SNOW ROAD and McLAREN'S DEPOT. A paper prepared and read by Miss Maude Walker at the July meeting of the Snow Road Women's Institute: This locality was known by the name of Palmerston in its early days, which is the name of the township unto the present day. The first white settler was Robert Wilson, who came in about the year 1833, but the Indians were hostile towards him and he didn't want to stay.
James Millar and his brother Thomas were next to come in 1840. James Millar traded his farm in Sherbrooke with Mr. Wilson, as he was friends with the Indians and they did not molest him. Mr. Millar's descendants lived on the same farm until the year 1914. James Lett is the present owner......"
James drowned in the Mississippi River while delivering mail.
James was first buried at the Green Landing in Snow Road, and was later moved to the Crawford Cemetery, McDonalds Corners, Ontario, cemetery plot #83.

Died:
Mr James Miller
The life of Mr James Millar covered the greater part of a century, he being in his ninety-third year at the time of his death. There are very few people of his generation living today. Mr. Millar was born at Snow Road, April 11th, 1848, and spent the greater part of his life in that vicinity. For many years he was engaged in the timber industry and held responsible positions with the different companies operating in the district. These positions he filled with marked ability and efficiency.

On November 10, 1871, he was married to Isabelle Duncan, who predeceased him several years ago. To this pair were born five sons and a daughter, who were as follows: James, John, Thomas, William, Fleetwood, and Bella. Of this number Thomas of Snow Road, William of Kingston and Mrs. Bella McNeill of Detroit survive.

For many lyears Mr. Millar was an elder in the Presbyterian church of Snow Road and took an active part in the work of that organization. He was superintendent of the Sunday School for a number of years. He had a good memory and his memory was stored with the happenings of earlier days. Of these events he could discourse interestingly and at length. In his latter years Mr. Millar enjoyed visiting among his friends of whom he had not a few. Many happy hours were thus spent discussing experiences of the past. Not all of his time during his last years was spent in that way. He was an industrious person and even when he was up in his eighties he put in regular hours at the trade of carpentering. Some of his handywowrk may be seen by looking at the cottages which line the shore of Dalhousie Lake at Mr. Lindsay Duncan's.

Nearly all the last year of his life was spent at the home of his son Thomas where the time passed pleasantly and where he tried to be of service as long as he lived. The end of his long life came peacefully, his last illness being neither long nor severe. Although he had spent some days in bed he was on his feet even to the last day of his life. He passed away suddenly, and thus colsed a long and useful life. A very large number of friends and relations came together at the funeral Sunday afternoon, August 18th, to pay their last tribute of respect to one whom they had known and esteemed many years.

The funeral was conducted by the minister of the church in which Mr. Millar was an elder, and his body was laid to rest in Crawford's cemetery. The pallbeareres were as follows: Lindsay Duncan, James Duncan, Robert Duncan, John Geddes, KJack Roberts and James? Millar.

The floral tributes were from the following: T.H. Millar and family, W.R. Millar and family, W.J. McNeill and family, Mrs. Annie Millar and family, Mr and Mrs John Millar, Mr and Mrs Lindsay Duncan, Mr and Mrs Jack Roberts, Mr and Mrs Thomas Ixatt, Mr and Mrs Robert Duncan, the Session of Snow Road church, and the Snow Road Women's Institute.

James married Isabella Duncan on 10 Nov 1871 in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Lanark Village, Ontario, Canada. Isabella (daughter of James B. Duncan and Jane Purdon) was born on 25 Mar 1853; died on 27 Apr 1921; was buried in Crawford Cemetery, Elphin, Dalhousie Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

(Research):About 1900, Elizabeth Millar's family is in North Dakota. Married at Buckshot. Her parents are listed as John Miller and Janet Miller.

Lanark Era - June 5,1918 - Snow Road, Thurs. May 30th, Mrs. Hugh McKinnon, aged 63 years. Born at Snow Road, the daughter of the late James Miller, Elizabeth Miller, had a family of ten children; Mrs. Geo. Hatt, of Airdrie, Alta. died about 9 years ago; Mrs. Wm. Richards, of Calgary; Mrs. John Lee, Tofield, Alta.; Mrs. Percy Johnston, Fort Pitt, Sask; Mrs. Harry Glover, DeWinton, Alta.; Florence and Edith , at home; Hughie, and James, at Vulcan, Alta.; and Charles, at Fallbrook. She is also survived by three brothers; William Miller, at North Battleford; James, and Thomas, at Snow Road.

My Mother was told by a distant aunt that Elizabeth, Hannah, and Alexander's parents were John and Janet Miller.
You will note that Hannah lists her parents as John Johnston and Janet Miller. Elizabeth lists them as John and Janet Miller. We were told that Janet re-married - fellow's name was Johnston and Hannah's marriage record seems to confirm this. So their Father John Miller may have died between 1866 (Alexander's birthdate) and 1871 when they appeared in the 1871 census with Robert Brown Millar and Elizabeth Smith. Can find no record for John and Janet's marriage or John Johnston and Janet Miller's marriage.

From Lanark Era:
Died in Winnipeg on Friday April 5, 1918, Mrs. James Smith age 44 years, formerly of Elphin.
Her son Willie is in France. Burial Sandford Cemetery Manitoba.

In May 2005, I visited Sandford Cemetery to locate James Smith and Janet McVeigh's grave. Spoke to the Administrator of the cemetery and there were three James Smith's buried in Sanford all without headstones and the cemetery had been originally by the river and the river kept flooding every year and the local municipality decided to move the cemetery to higher ground so older burials don't match new location.

Janet married James Smith in 1891. James (son of William Smith and Margaret Brownlee) was born on 16 Nov 1866 in Elphin, Dalhousie Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Sanford Cemetery, Sanford, Whitehorse Plains Census Division, Manitoba, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
