THE MILLIRONS NAME: The name Millirons no longer exists for descendants of Kansas Pioneer John Millirons. The last male heir of John bearing the name "Millirons" was his grandson Walter Millirons, who died childless. John Millirons has many descendants from daughters and granddaughters, (most with the surname Johnston), but no descendants carrying his name.
Millirons is derived from the German Muehleisen, which roughly means one involved in iron milling. In 1920, there were 56 of the country's total of 136 families bearing that name living in Pennsylvania, a conduit for many of the Palatine German immigrants. There were also 23 Millirons families in Ohio.
