John was born in 1669 at Barncauchlaw, a hill farm in the parish of Minnigaff, Kirkcudbrightshire. John M'Millan, founder of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, was the son of John M'Millan, who was descended from a branch of the family long settled at Arndarroch. The Presbytery was erected at Braehead on 1 August 1743, and a disruption took place in it in April 1753. M'Millan left the Balmaghie Manse in 1727, and during 1729-34 resided at different places in the parish of Carnwath, and at Braehead from 1734-53. The Covenants were renewed at Auchensaugh on 23–4 July 1712. He conferred with its members on 31 January 1705, and 13 February 1706, and on 14 August 1706, submitted to them. His name first appears in the minutes of the General Meeting of the Dissenters when they considered a letter from him, 5 April 1704. The controversy regarding his ecclesiastical attitude lasted from October 1702 to 30 December 1703, when he was deposed. The call was reported to the Presbytery on 24 June, and he was ordained on 19 September. He preached for the first time in Balmaghie Church on 22 December 1700, apparently as ordinary supply, and on 30 April 1701, was elected to the parish. He was licensed on 26 November 1700, spending part of his probation as tutor with the Laird of Broughton, 1700-1. He attended Edinburgh University 1695-7, and graduated with an M.A. Before he began his ministerial career he was elected an elder of Girthon session. He was born at Minnigaff, near Newton Stewart in Kirkcudbrightshire, around 1669, and spent his boyhood near his birthplace. He was the first minister of the Cameronians after the Revolution Settlement. John M'Millan was the founding Father of the Reformed Presbyterian Church.
