Neil McMillan’s son was James Wilson McMillan who was born in 1850. He emigrated to the USA around 1867 where he manufactured bricks at the Milledgeville Brickworks in Georgia. He was definitely in the USA by 1878 so the ‘& son’ referred to here is likely to be James’ brother Robert Wilson McMillan.
