Daniel McMillan (1836-1921) of Scotland m. 2/6/56 Susannah Hill (1824-1912), daughter of William Hill and Margaret Allison. The Allisons of Dundas County were thought to be all related. The first Andrew Allison of Dunbar was from Antrim County.
Carter, in his "Story of Dundas" states, "At the residence of John Strader may yet be seen the teacher's desk sold along with the school house when a new one was built, made for this new school house more than sixty years ago by the late William Hill of Elma. Like all funiture of those days, it was "built for keeps". It is in a good state of preservation and fit to last sixty years longer."
The school house was on the 6th concession of Matilda near the farm of Levi Casselman.
