Notes on the 1867 Diary - made by Rankin MacMillan in January of 1969

James MacMillan and Martha Murdock were married January 15, 1867. James was 33 - Martha 23. Jame's [sic] father (David) had died in 1856. In January of 1867 Jame's [sic] mother (Nancy) and his three unmarried sisters (Jane, Jennette, Martha) were living at the farm. (This was the household to which James brought his bride! Evidently this was too many for the newly-weds, so by October 1867 a house was purchased on Xenia Avenue in Cedarville and Mother Nancy and the three sisters moved there.) Later Jennette married Bigham Harbison (see page 80 of the Blue MacMillan Clan Book).
