The following notes were taken verbatim from: The Milne Family: 300 Years of Ancestral History, by Kendall Burtch, Edited by: Barb Moore, 2007.

"To form this essay in a chronological order – which is the most appropriate route – it will be commenced with John Milne and Jean Mitchell. Unfortunately, information on the earlier Milne’s has not been able to be recovered. All that is known to place them at the beginning of the Milne ancestry is that John Milne was born in 1766. He married Jean Mitchell in January of 1787, and they had six children: Barbara, Male, William, Margaret, John, and James. The family line discussed and researched here begins with John II, son of John I and Jean Milne. John Milne II was their fifth child, born 3 January 1787 in Aberdeen, Scotland. In 1808 he married Margaret Anderson, also a native of Aberdeen. Altogether they had seven children: Helen, Margaret, Fairly, John III, Christian, David, and Alexander.

All of their children were born in Scotland, and later immigrated with their parents to Canada. In a published work by the Howick Historical Society, THE LINES OF HOWICK, information states that “in 1836, they sailed for America”. It is unknown if the entire family immigrated, but it has been stated that both John Milne II, his wife Margaret Anderson and John Milne III with his new wife Mary Moir made the trip and arrived in Elora, Ontario."
