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, Mil- likine and Mulliken, and one other Milliken : Argent a fess azure voided of the field, be- tween three demi-lions crowned gules. Crest : A demi-lion crowned gules rampant, holding a dagger in dexter paw. Motto: "Regarde Bien." The Milligans and Mullikens had sub- stantially 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, born December 9, 1688; ii. John, July 26, 1690; iii. Mary, September 26, 1692. Thomas and Elizabeth Milliken had a son, Thomas, born April 27, 1692, in Bos- ton. 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 not known and the records reveal practically nothing of his his- tory. He married Eleanor -. Children : I.

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 November, 1685, to December, 1717, when he became interested in the estate of his father-in-law, at Dunstan, in Scarbor- ough, 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."

"We, the subscribers, having been soldiers at Fort Pownal, and now settled at a place called Magebaggadeuce, on the eastern side of Pe- nobscot bay," etc. He settled in Trenton, and was moderator of a meeting of the pro- prietors of the townships of Union River, Au- gust 1, 1764, held at the tavern of Captain Skillings, in Falmouth.

(IV) Benjamin, son of Edward Milliken, was born August 5, 1728. and baptized May 29, 1729, at Scarborough, Maine. He owned a large gambrel-roofed house, and a store in which he traded, on the 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 bound- ary 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, adja- cent to land which he already owned. Having lost through a mortgage his land in Scarbor- ough, in 1764, he settled in Trenton and was granted a mill privilege and timber lands. Here he built a sawmill, which he was re- quired to have ready for operation, according to the conditions named in the grant, within six months from August 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 Milli- ken, named Abigail, cooked the first meal there that was ever prepared by a white woman in the township. This mill was unwisely lo- cated and was a failure. He built another mill on a new site, and carried on the lum- ber business successfully for many years. He owned a vessel and shipped much of his manu- factured material to Connecticut. During the revolution, as he was a Loyalist, he joined the English at Castine. After the war he re- moved to New Brunswick, and August 12, 1784, with about one hundred Loyalists known as the Penobscot Association, he received 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 Bocabec, ten miles to the westward, and built a house, the cellar of which is still, or was lately, to be seen, and a shipyard, where he built ves. sels. 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 un- limited resources, for undaunted and undis- mayed he grappled with formidable obstacles which he either outflanked or overcame. He was a pioneer 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), November 17, 1746, Sarah Smith, of Scarborough. He married ( second), September 9, 1754, Elizabeth Banks, of the same town. He married (third), De- cember 3, 1766, Phebe Jordan.
