The "Mississippi McMillins" - as the name is
generally abreviated within the clan as a whole - are all the descendants
of William McMillin (born c.1763 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and died
1845 in Louisville, MS, USA).
The society was founded in 1951, and in 1957 mustered some 200
participants for their sixth annual reunion. They meet on the third Sunday
in August every year at Louisville for a church service and for lunch.
Formal membership in June 2000 was 50, but up to 120 or more sometimes
attend informally at the annual reunions, where voluntary donations are
collected rather than an official subscription.
