Following are excerpts from "Moore - Millican Memoirs" by Elma Lou Maxwell 1966. Clint Maxwell has a copy of this sent to him by Mary Ann (Topper) Maxwell in the late 1960's.
Millican and Provence families migrated to Southern Illinois just before, or shortly after, the Revolutionary War.
In time the William Millican family moved Southward to Northern Mississippi. Their two older sons, names unknown, remained in Illinois and later joined the Union Army in the Civil War. This caused a division in the family that was never rectified, and the two parts of the family lost touch with each other thereafter.
Tom and John, the two younger boys, joined the Confederate cause and survived the Civil War, but Tom was severely wounded at Petersburg, Virginia. He lost a leg and almost died, and was out of touch with his family for three years while they did not know if he was even alive.
