John McMillan

McMILLAN, John, educator, born in Fang's Manor, Chester County, Pennsylvania, 11 November, 1752; died in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, 16 November, 1833. After graduation at Princeton in 1772 he studied theology, was licensed to preach in 1774, and performed missionary service in Maryland, western Virginia, and western Pennsylvania. In 1775 he organized the churches of Pigeon Creek and Chartiers, Pennsylvania, over which he was ordained in 1776. He endured many hardships, owing to troubles with the Indians on the frontier during the Revolutionary war, and lived in a log-house in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, which he partly built. He established there a small Latin-school and theological seminary, which were developed into Canonsburg academy in 1790 and became the nucleus of Jefferson college. From this institution he received the degree of S. T. D. in 1805.
