Angus McMillan

Following a public-school education in Scotland, Angus McMillan immigrated to Prince Edward Island with his parents and siblings in 1834. The family settled in Wheatley River and engaged in farming. Scant documentation exists concerning McMillan’s early career on the Island, but years later, in its House of Assembly, he referred to having spent time in Upper Canada and New Brunswick and having travelled to Ireland in 1842.
