- PETER McEWAN, deceased; born at Birnam, Perthshire, Scotland;
- came to America in 1834. In the spring of 1837, he, with
eleven others, left Milwaukee to explore the country in search
of homes; reached Prairie du Lac, about the first of June, and
made claim to and settled on the land on part of which the village
of Milton now stands. After a residence of over twenty years,
in 1851, failing health induced him to close up his business
and return to his native land; since that time, he resided in
the city of Perth until his decease on Jan. 30, 1879.
