Johu Mullikin,2 born 1659, as shown by a deposition made by him in 1713, which ran as follows : "John Mullakin, aged 54 years or thereabouts (being first sworn), on his oath says that he well remembers that his father, Patrick Mullakin, in his life-time told this depont. that there was likely to be some dispute betwixt him and Walter Dickinson, about the land he dwelt on," etc., etc. "Taken the 27th March in the 12th year of the Reign of our Sov- ereign Lady Queen Anne. Annoq D in 1713." On Feb. 9, 1679, he was appointed an attorney to transfer land to William Stevens, of Island Creek, Talbot county, Md. He married his first wife, Jane, about 1684, and settled at " Patrick's Plains," on land given him by his father, and now (1895) owned by a descendant, Clayland Mulliken, of Easton, Md. In addition to this land inherited from his father, John was possessed of "Readly" (part) 150 acres and "Casson's Choice." In 1692-3 he was on grand jury, in 1708 and 1709 was vestryman, St. Peter's parish, and in a list of pew holders in vestry book he appears, in 1730, as holding pew No. 7 in parish church at " White Marsh." Jane, his wife, died Ang. 4, 1701, and he married, second, Sarah, widow of John Mitchell, who survived him, he dying in 1736. His will, dated May 2, 1734, and proved June 28, 1736, is recorded at Annapolis; the original is in the office of register of wills at Easton, Md., and his signature thereto, though written at the age of 75 years, is strikingly legible, and shows that he spelled the surname as now used. From his will it appears that he had issue by his wives as will follow :

MITCHELL FAMILY.
MILLIKANS OF RANDOLPH COUNTY, N. C.
This was a Quaker family early settled in Pennsylvania, and the ancestors of the North Carolina branch were among the earliest patentees of land grants in Randolph county, as the records show; their settlement there was long before the Revolution. Their homesteads are among the oldest in the state. Few members of this family have attained prominence in the state, being of the retiring disposition characteristic of the Quaker faith. They were patriots during the Revolutionary war, but non-combatant. WILLIAM MILLIKAN, who was the first clerk of the court after the organization of Ran- dolph county, was the man whose house was burned by the Tories under Col. David Fanning in 1778.
Although the Millikan connection has been numerous in the county, there is not a case in all the records there entitled State vs. Millikan. BENJAMIN MILLIKAN was a bold and fearless leader of the anti-slavery movement in his state, and many were the acts of heroism in defense of the principles he advocated. The whole race to a man were loyal to the Federal cause during the Rebellion, and not one fought under the Confederate flag, while a number escaped and enlisted in the Union army.
Quite a number have held places of honor and trust, being elected to offices either as Whigs or Republicans, and in 1894 T. C. MILLIKAN was the Repub- lican nominee for Congress in his district against a heavy Populist element. BENJAMIN MILLIKAN, of Asheboro, N. C., is ex-sheriff, and his son, J. M. MILLIKAN, clerk of the Superior court of Randolph county. A brother of the latter, H. F. MILLIKAN, of Santa Fe, Kan., is register of deeds for Has- kell county. The family hold the tradition of a Scottish ancestry .*
After repeated inquiries, Hon. Nathan J. Milliken, descended from the New Hampshire family, writes when too late to correct errors that his grand- father was WILLIAM MILLIKEN, twin brother of Samuel, who was in the battle of Bunker Hill, and first town clerk of Sharon, N. H., instead of ROBERT MILLIKEN. In consequence of appearance of two Alexander Millikens, cousins, in this family, about the same age, and for want of the information that came too late, Alexander, father of Nathan, was placed as the son of Robert and Margaret. This William had sons Alexander (father of Nathan), Samuel, William, Robert, and John. Martinec, brother of Nathan, is living at Clarendon, N. Y., in his goth year, well preserved. Edward, another brother, resides at Medina, Mich., aged 82. Alexander Milliken, son of Robert, re- moved from Jaffrey, N. H., to Clarendon, N. Y., and died there at an advanced age, leaving two sons, Alexander and Robert, one of whom survives.
Mitchell Family.
From a record left by Isaac Mitchell, Esq., of Limington, it appears that this branch of the Mitchell family was descended from Jonathan Mitchell, b. in England in 1624; came to Cambridge, Mass .; was a graduate of Harvard,
* The author regrets that he did not learn of this branch of the family until so late a date that there was not time to compile a more complete account of them.

and ordained to the ministry in 1650. ROBERT MITCHELL 1 was a resident proprietor in Cape Elizabeth, and had son DOMINICUS,2 whose brothers were JONATHAN,2 of said town, and ROBERT,2 of Portland.

Moses Family.
"Three brothers came over from England "; this is the tradition that pre- vails in the various branches of the Moses family in New England, but I have not found documentary evidence to support the theory. The name appears at Portsmouth, N. H., at an early period, and I suppose some of the Ameri- can ancestors sat down there when they came to this country. AARON MOSES and Ruth Sherburn were married in Portsmouth, June 1, 1676, and may have been ancestors of the late respected DEACON MOSES of that city. A venerable

MOSES FAMILY.
member of the family in Maine informed me that the first person of the name who settled in Scarborough was a brother of the head of the Portsmouth families. This is probably true. But George Cleve of Falmouth, now Port- land, granted one hundred acres of land to a JOHN MOSES, July 3, 1669. This land was probably in Maine, and for aught I know was in Scarborough. THEODOSIUS MOSES was mentioned as a soldier from Scarborough in 1747. GEORGE MOSES was living on Scottows hill in that town in 1754, and is said by descendants to have been the progenitor of all families of the name in this state. Of this George little is known. His wife's name does not appear. A large family of children were born to him.

He was justice of the peace for many years. His wife was Catherine Cullen, of Scottish extraction and closely related to our great American poet, William Cullen Bryant.

Dr. Booth Cullen Mulvey, son of preceding, was educated by his uncle, Dr. Cullen, in the old country, but took his degree of M. D. at Bowdoin, in 1831. He was early located at Bar Mills, in Hollis, but his practice extended over a good part of Maine and New Hampshire, and even to Massachusetts. He moved to Saco about 1840, where he d. July 16, 1858, and a fine marble shaft marks the family lot in the beautiful Saco cemetery. Dr. Mulvey had the reputation of being one of the most skillful physicians in the state and was called for consultation to distant parts. His son, Dr. J. W. Mulvey, is now a practising physician in Biddeford, Me.
