McMillen and Lydia started their journey to Texas in 1845 and arrived on January 1, 1846, on the banks of a creek (now called Maxwell Creek).

Large amounts of his land were given to the city of Murphy for industrial usage. Some of his land was given to the Corinth Presbyterian Church (one of the oldest church congregations of Collin County) in Parker, Texas, where he was a founding member known for his pious nature and devotion to the Bible. His wife, Lydia, died in 1907. McMillen High School, founded in 2011, in Plano, Texas is named in honor of the farmer, businessman, and church founder. (en)
