[Many families included in these genealogical records had their beginnings in Massachusetts.]

MILLIKEN The numerous derivations given by different scholars for the surname Milliken are as numerous as the variations in spelling. As in the case of many other surnames, it may be true that all the authorities are right, for there are many branches of this family, and there is no indiction that all were from a common stock. The family mentioned in this sketch was certainly Scotch (Scottish! Scoth is a drink!) and for that matter most of the American families bearing this name in its varied forms are descended from the Scotch (Scottish) settlers in the north of Ireland, or from the Scotch (Scottish) immigrants who came direct from Scotland. The family historian favors the conclusion of James Miliken, of New York, who was convinced by exhaustive research that the family was of Saxon-Norman origin, spelling their name originally Millingas, meaning mill-manor, or manor on the hill, and eveidently a place-name of very ancient date. Passing from Saxony to the Netherlands, we find the name spelled at an early date Millinga, Milligen and Millingen, the latter being the name of a village in the Netherlands. As early as 1273 a John Mulkyn, said to have been from the Low Countries, was in Suffolk, England. Barber, in his book on "British Family Names," gives Miliken, or Milecan, as Flemish, meaning the diminutive of Miles, a personal name. There seems to be no proff that Milliken and Mulligan are the same surnames. O'Hart, in his "Irish Pedigrees," states that Mulligan is anglicized for the Irish name O'Maolagain. The earliest immigrants to America were probably Roman Catholics, coming with Lord Baltimore to Maryland. The Mullikens of Virginia were Episcopalian and certainly not Scotch (Scottish). There are many of the famly in Pennsylvania, where number of Scotch-Irish settled, and related families are found in all the neighboring states and to some extent in all parts of the country. A coat-of-arms long in possession of the descendants of Samuel Milliken, of Scarborough, Maine, of the family given below, is said to have been three castles in a blue shield, and tradition further states that a Sir Hugh Milliken was knighted for his valor in taking three castles, and the castles commemorated his exploits. The following coat-of-arms is as close to complying with the story as one usually gets in the garbled oral history we call tradition, viz: A fesse azure with five castles in the blue. There are other armorials in Scotland borne by families spelling their name Milligan, Millikine and Mulliken, and one other Milliken: Argent a fess azure voiced of the field, between three demi-lions crowned gules. Crest: A demi-lion crowned gules rampant, holding a dagger in dexter paw. Motto: "Regarde Bien." The Mililgans and Mullikens had substantially the same arms, indicating relation. Three families of Milliken appear in Boston about the same time. Their relationship is assumed. They all attended the Brattle Street church, where the births of their children are recorded. Robert and Rebecca Milliken had children: i. Robert, b. Dec. 9, 1688. ii. John, b. July 26, 1690. iii. Mary, b. Sept. 26, 1692. Thomas and Elizabeth Milliken had: a son, Thomas, born April 27, 1692, in Boston. The third immigrant, Hugh, is mentioned below. (I) Hugh Milliken, immigrant ancestor, was born probably as early as 1640. He settled in Boston, coming thither undoubtedly from Scotland. He was a member of the Scots Charitable Society of Boston in 1681. The date of his death is no tknown and the records reveal practically nothing of his history. He married Eleanor _____. Children: 1.

(II) John, son of Hugh Milliken, was born about 1665-70, in Scotland or Boston.

He was a house-carpenter by trade. He resided many years in Boston, and his children were born there. He was a member of the Scots Charitable Society in Boston from Nov., 1685, to Dec., 1717, when he became interested in the estate of his father-in-law, at Dunstan, in Scarborough, Maine, and he spent much time there. His name appears there as early as 1719, and in 1720 he and his son helped to organize the new town, and he was one of the selectmen. He carried on his farm on a large scale for those days. In 1746 he writes: "I have cleared a great deal of land; have made several miles of fence; this year have I planted as much land as three bushels of corn would plant, sowed as much as seven bushels of peas would sow, and as much as thirteen bushels of wheat and barley would sow."

He settled first in Scarborough, maine, about 1729. He was admitted to the First Church there Oct. 31, 1736. He was known as Justice Milliken, being a grantee of Trenton, and his name appears on a petition in 1762 to Francis Beard: "We the subscribers, having been soldiers at Fort Pownal, and now settled at a place called Magebaggadeuce, on the eastern side of Penobscot bay," etc. He settled in Trenton, and was moderator of a meeting of the proprietors of the townships of Union River, Aug. 1, 1764, held at the tavern of Capt.

He owned a large gambrel-roofed house, and a store in which he traded, on Dunstan Landing road, in Scarborough. He owned lands in Rowley, Canada, which had been granted to some of those who had served in the expedition in 1690; but, when the boundary line between Massachusetts was settled, it was found that these lands were located in New Hampshire, and he was granted, in 1761, with others, a township seven miles square, east of the Saco river, in lieu of the one of which they had been dispossessed. He was one of three who laid out the town, now known as Bridgton, Maine. He sold these lands and bought land on Union river, adjacent to land which he already owned. Having lost through a mortgage his land in Scarborough, in 1764, he settled in Trenton and was granted a mill privilege and timber lands. Here he built a sawmill, which he was required to have ready for operation, according to the conditions named in the grant, within six months from Aug. 1, 1764. With his wife and daughter and thirty men he went down-stream in a vessel owned by Ephraim Dyer. They carried provisions to the value of four hundred pounds, and the ship was used to live in until they had built a house. This house was a camp built against a huge boulder called the "Punch Bowl," and the fourteen-year-old daughter of Benjamin Milliken, named Abigail, cooked the first meal there that was ever prepared by a white woman in the township. This mill was unwisely located and was a failure. He built another mill on a new site, and carried on the lumber business successfully for many years. He owned a vessel and shipped much of his manufactured material to Connecticut. During the revolution, as he was a Loyalist, he joined the English at Castine. After the war he removed to New Brunswick, and Aug. 12, 1784, with about one hundred Loyalists known as the Penobscot Association, he recieved a grant of land from the English government, comprising the town plot of St. Andrews, extending westerly up the St. Croix river to the town of St. Stephen. Shortly after the location of these lands he went to Bacabec, ten miles to the westward, and built a house, the cellar of which is still, or was lately, to be seen (1908), and a shipyard, where he built vessels. Here he lived the remainder of his life. Ridlon says of him: "He must have been a person of great force of will and almost unlimited resources, for undaunted and undismayed he grappled with formidable obstacles which he either outflanked or overcame. He was a prisoner of old Scarborough; a pioneer of Trenton and founder of Ellsworth, and a pioneer of St. Andrews. He has been called "Royalist Ben," "Tory Ben" and "Runaway Ben," but from good authority we are ready to state that Benjamin Milliken was a man of noble character, who was promoted to make the sacrifices as he did from what to him was principle." He married (first), Nov. 17, 1746, Sarah Smith, of Scarborough. He married (second), Sept. 9, 1754, Elizabeth Banks, of the same town. He married (third), Dec. 3, 1766, Phebe Jordan.
