The Civil War in Georgia
McMillan, John C.
John C. McMillan born 25 April 1810 in Camden County, Georgia, was the son of Daniel McMillan and Margaret Smith. John married on 30 March 1837 in Irwin County, Georgia, my first cousin four times removed, Sarah Paulk (1823-1899). Sarah was the daughter of Jacob Paulk Sr. and Catherine Henderson. John initially served with
Company I, 50th Georgia Volunteer Infantry.
He was their 1st Lieutenant on 4 March 1862. He later resigned on 23 May 1862 and then enlisted as a private on 23 July 1863 in
Company H of the 4th Georgia (Clinch's) Cavalry.
This may have been due to his age of 52 at the time choosing to fight on horse, rather than on foot. John surrendered at Doctorstown, Georgia in 1865. He died 15 November 1887 in Berrien, County Georgia
