MILLIKENS IN THE SOUTH.
Robert Milliken came from the north of Ireland with one sister, when a young man, and settled in Virginia, where he married a Miss Harlerson. For some time he resided near where the town of Stanford now is, but at the time of the Revolution removed to Orange county, N. C., where he raised five sons and one daughter. The sons were JAMES, CHARLES, ROBERT, GEORGE, and QUINTIN ; four of these sons had families in Orange and Chatham counties, N. C., and their children mostly settled in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Louisi- ana. Robert Milliken the second settled in Orange county, N. C., and his son JOHN removed to a place on the Mississippi in 1810, and his estate was after- wards known as " Milliken's Bend." He became a man of great wealth, the owner of numerous slaves. He had but one child, a daughter. DR. JESSE MILLIKEN, another son of the second Robert, settled in Simpson county, Ky., and had three sons, ROBERT, HARLERSON, and the HON. CHARLES MILLIKEN, of Franklin, Ky., who has represented the Bowling Green district for several terms in Congress. WILLIAM MILLIKEN, another son of the second Robert, was born in Orange county, N. C., and moved to Simpson county, Ky., in 1817, where his son, CAPT. SAMUEL RAMSEY MILLIKEN, was born June 30, 1817. He was owner of three mail lines and steam packets on the Missis- sippi, Cumberland, and Tennessee rivers.

MILLIKENS OF AYRSHIRE, SCOTLAND.
John Milliken,1 a sheep farmer in Ayrshire, Scotland, near the outlet of Loch Doon, was born about the year 1700. By his first marriage, late in life, he had a son JOHN; and after the death of his wife he married Margaret Milligan, of Gallowayshire, in 1781, by whom two sons, THOMAS and JAMES. The father died in 1785, and in accordance with the prevalent custom the widow retained her maiden name, and as the father was deceased, the sons spelled their name Milligan, as their mother continued to do. She was after- wards married to William MacAdam, a near relative of John Loudan Mac- Adam, who invented the system of road-making that bears his name.
NOTE .- The members of this family have been communicants of the Old School Presbyterian church, principally.

MILLIKEN FAMILY.
Jolın Milligan,2 eldest son of the preceding, was born on the meadow- head farm in the southern part of Ayrshire, about 1760; emigrated from Scotland about the year 1790 and settled in Sewickley township, Westmoreland county, Pa., where three sons, ALEXANDER, JOHN, and JAMES, and four daugh- ters were born to him. These are all dead, but they left numerous descend- ants who remain in the vicinity or have migrated westward.
Thomas Milligan,2 born on the meadowhead farm, Ayrshire, in 1783, died in 1803.
Rev. James Milligan, D.D.,2 brother of the preceding, was born at meadowhead farm, three miles south of Dalmellington, and within a stone's throw of Loch Doon, the outlet of which was half a mile west of the house, Aug. 7, 1785, and there lived with his mother and brothers until he passed his eighteenth birthday. He had attended the academy at Ayr and made good progress in studies until a sad event weaned him from his native coun- try. A fellow-student and companion, old enough to do military duty, had failed to remove some flour from his coat-sleeve when hastily summoned from the mess-room for review; for this offense the reviewing officer ordered him to be beaten with the paddle, and under the infliction he died. James Milli- gan then resolved that he would never bear arms under King George, and at once prepared to come to America. His brother John having just then been home on a visit, James sailed with him from Liverpool, Oct. 28, 1802, in the ship "Marina" of Greenock, bound for Philadelphia. After a stormy passage of sixty-two days, the vessel put into New York in distress; after taking in supplies of food and water, the ship was again delayed by ice in the Delaware river, prolonging the voyage to nearly three months. Reaching Sewickley he worked for his brother on the farm till the end of July, 1804, when he went to Jefferson College at Canonsburg, Pa., to pursue studies for the ministry in the Reformed Presbyterian church. He had joined the Established church in Dalmellington, where his mother belonged and where he was baptized ; his brother John, with the family, were members of the Associate Reformed church, but he determined to unite with the Reformed Presbyterians, chiefly because of their consistent opposition to slavery and their insistance on a Christian administration of government. He graduated from college as an honor man in 1809; studied medicine under Dr. Rush and received a medical diploma from him; studied theology at the same time under Dr. Samuel B. Wylie, president of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and was licensed to preach the gospel on Apr. 4, 1811. He was ordained and installed pastor of the Goldenham Reformed Presbyterian Congregation, in Orange county, N. Y., June 10, 1812. After a five years' pastorate here, he settled in Rye- gate, Vt., where he continued from the fall of 1817 till 1839; then was pastor in New Alexandria, Pa., from 1839 to 1848, and in Bethel, Ill., from 1848 till 1855, when on account of the infirmities of age he resigned his charge and retired from active pastoral work, yet continued to preach and lecture as he had opportunity, and preached the day before he died in Birmingham, Mich., when visiting his son James. During his collegiate and theological studies he supported himself by teaching; he was for several terms principal of Greens- burg Academy, in Westmoreland, Pa., and afterwards taught a Jewish school in Philadelphia; also served as Latin tutor in the University of Pennsylvania. The degree of D. D. was conferred upon him by Muskingun College in 1848. He published a volume on "Infant Baptism," a narrative of the "Secession

Controversy," and a "View of Christian Principles and Practices," besides several sermons. To the close of his life he was an earnest missionary, ardent Abolitionist, and consistent teetotaler; wherever he went he preached Christ, liberty, and temperance. He organized anti-slavery and temperance societies in Vermont as early as 1820, and was often mobbed in his lecture tours. He was a large man, six feet in height, and weighed from 225 to 250 pounds. A fine classical scholar and a popular preacher, he had great influence in the communities where he labored and in his denomination. He was chairman of the Board of Superintendents of the R. P. Theological Seminary in Alle- ghany, Pa., from 1842 to 1850. On May 15, 1820, he married Mary, dau. of Robert and Lucy (Babcock) Trumbull,* at the home of the bride's parents in East Craftsbury, Vt. These had six children, of whom presently. Mrs. Mary, born in July, 1790, died at New Alexandria, May 20, 1856. Dr. Milligan died in Michigan, Jan. 2, 1862 ; they were buried in the cemetery at New Alexan- dria, Pa.
