MILLIKEN FAMILY.
telligent member of the Milliken family now living in New Brunswick, who has visited the locality of his last earthly home, his grave, and copied from his own Bible the records of his family; hence we are able to present in connected form the salient features in the history of one about whose motives and behavior there has been much speculation. 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 prompted to make the sacrifices he did from what to him was principle. The names of his children will appear hereafter .*
3. JOSEPH,4 son of Edward and Abigail, bapt. in Scarborough, May 29, 1729; m. Sarah, dau. of Benjamin Foster, there, May 17, 1750. She was a sister of Col. Benj. Foster, of Machias.

* There is quite a romantic story about one of the daughters of Benjamin Milliken. A cap- tain in the British navy during the Revolution, while at Castine, became enamored with this Milliken girl, then living in her father's family there, and at one time left his vessel and went on shore to visit her : and for neglect of duty was cashiered and lost his commission. He mar- ried the young lady either at Castine or in New Brunswick, and settled near Mr. Milliken's busi- ness seat and home, at a place now known as Varden's Point, where the Varden mansion, in which the gallant captain and his wife lived, is now standing. Mrs. Jellison calls the name of Captain Varden's wife Euphemin, but the name does not apear in the family record. Another daughter married a Hanson, whose descendants are living in New Brunswick; and another became the wife of Orange Seelye, brother of Stewart Seelye who was husband of Rebecca Milliken.
t CAPT. MULBERY MILLIKEN had command of a vessel in 1774. lle carried a cargo of him- ber to Salem for Mr. King, and on his own responsibility took out a license from some anthority there, and carried the lumber to Boston, it being wanted there to build barracks for the British troops, and sold it for a good price.

FIFTH GENERATION.
CHILDREN OF BENJAMIN AND WIVES:
I. MARY,5 b. Sept. 17, 1748 ; m. John Smith, her cousin.
2. ABIGAIL,5 b. Sept. 29, 1750; m. Capt. Isaac Lord, and lived at Union river, where she was wont to tell that she cooked the first meal of any white woman in the town of which her father was the founder, Ellsworth.

Miss Jellison, in her History of Ellsworth, says he m. and had an "obscure family " in the neighborhood of that town, but we do not see the appro- priateness of the word "obscure," for he had a quiver well filled with sons, whose descendants, now scattered from their cradle-town to the Pacific slope, are very respectable and successful. As some early rec- ords of Surry were lost, we cannot ascertain the birth dates of his chil- dren. He had sons named John,6 Benjamin,6 Daniel,“ Jesse,6 and Domin- icus," of whom with sixth generation.

He gave all a most cheerful and cordial greeting, and conversed with much animation about affairs of "ye olden time," evincing the possession of a strong and concise memory. He was born five years before the inauguration of the first President. He said he voted for Thomas Jefferson when nominated for a second term, although he lacked two months of his majority, and when asked how he could do that he said an uncle was selectman that year and that people were not as particular as they are now.

He was a Quaker religiously, but notwithstanding his peaceful faith he did not allow men to abuse him without decided protest, and stories are now told relating to his pronounced threats to those who had, in his estimation, intruded upon his rights.
