The history of Milan is devoid of wide significance; its annals are marked by few famous names or conspicuous happenings; but the beanti- ful farms which dot its surface, and the comfortable homes of to-day tell the story of the patience and perseverance of the few settlers who came to stay in the half century and more ago. The very hard, unenviable lot. endured by the early pioneers in this region, should be a very instructive lesson to their descendants. Those vigorous, determined pioneers fought hard with adverse elements, in their efforts to support, and to preserve those precious gifts which were to them of God. Some of them had large families. How pitiful their poverty, their hardships, their deprivations, their great want of privileges for their children, both educational and religious! With some the best they could do for their households was to provide clothing and food. Their garments were of the coarsest texture. and of the most simple make. Their food was of the plainest, most frugal quality.
Prior to 1820 there were but few inhabitants. In 1810 the population was but fourteen; ten years passed and the number was increased four- fold. About 1822 or '23, several families emigrated from Maine and settled on Milan hills.
Early Settlers .- Among those who first penetrated this wilderness to make permanent homes for themselves and their posterity was John Ellingwood. He came about 1822 and first settled on Milan hill. His wife was Rachel Barrows. of Bethel. Me. Of their family of six children were Hester Ann. Isaac. H .. John W., and Freeman. Mr. Ellingwood was a farmer, a good Christian, and deacon of the Methodist church. He died about 1830. His son Isaac was the first white child born on Barrows mountain (Milan hill.)
Isaac Harris came from Bethel in 1822. Hfe was a school-teacher in

Sutton. Mass., and very well educated for those days. His daughter, Mrs. Mary Fogg, resides in town.
Daniel G. Ellingwood was probably the first settler on the Androscog- gin. He located where Adams Twitchel now lives. Thomas Lake lived below the Ellingwood place; he came to Milan at the same time, but remained only a few years. He made a small clearing. Benjamin Hibbard came from Newry, Me., a little later than 1822, located and lived several years on the east side of the river. He died in Milan. The Hutchinsons were settlers on Milan hill in 1823 or '24.
Moses Hodgdon was one of the first to settle on Hodgdon hill, coming there in 1829, with his family of several children. He located on the top of the hill, developed a good farm, and brought up a family of sturdy, strong boys. He erected an up and-down saw-mill, with shingle-machine, edger, etc. He and his sons conducted this until it was burned in May 1881. Mr. Hodgdon lived to a good old age. He was collector of taxes, and a representative man. His children were Samuel F., Moses, Charles N., Elizabeth (Mrs. Dexter Wheeler), (dec.), Emily (Mrs. J. H. Chandler), Ruth, married Capt. L. P. Adley, Charles N. and Moses are now residents of Berlin.
Amasa Fogg came from Ossipee about 1824 and settled on lot 1, range S, second division.
Abner Hinds, about 1521, settled on lot 1, range 1, first division. He was one of the wealthiest of the early settlers, a great hunter and trapper. His murder by Robbins caused great excitement throughout the county. He was much esteemed by his townsmen. [See Col. Kent's graphic account in General History, pages 110, 111.]
George T. Roberts came from Kennebunk, Me., and purchased, in 1834, of his father, John Roberts, the lot mentioned above, which had been owned previously by one Walker. Mr. Roberts resided here, engaged in farming and lumbering, until 1869. He now lives in Deering, Me. Five of his ten children are living-Benjamin T., on the home farm; John, in Wisconsin; Burleigh, a member of the mercantile house of Kent & Roberts, Lancas- ter: Marcia A. and Lizzie W.
Isaac Hagar was an early comer. He located on the Ammonoosuc near West Milan. He was a farmer, hunter, and trapper, and a companion of Robbins and Hinds in their hunting expeditions.
Reuben Sargent was another early settler, lived here but a few years, then moved away. Anthony Nay located in the west part of the town; he lived a long life, left descendants, and held some town offices. Charles Newell was in Milan for a short time.
The Robbins family of which Sylvanus and Moses were members came from Massachusetts, probably Beverly, before 1825, and were residents for years. Sylvanus was insane for a long time, and some of the people

sat up nights to watch their buildings for fear of his burning them. Asa Barrows, who came in 1822, was a soldier in the War of 1812, passed his life and died here.
Emerson Cole made his home in the west part of the town, cleared a farm; he had a large family and some of his descendants are now resi- dents. He was prominent in town affairs, selectman for many years, and a worthy citizen. Reuben Hobart came from Gilead, Me., in 1825, located on the place where Walter Allen now lives. He was a soldier of the War of 1812. The Wight family were of the earliest to settle in Milan, con- ing here in 1822; they lived on the east side of the river. Aaron, Phillip and Nathaniel were inhabitants in 1825. Aaron moved to Dummer in 1844. Edward Richardson came from Bethel, Me., about 1823 or 24. and settled on Milan hill. His wife was a Miss Ellis, from Sutton, Mass. Their family was three sons and four daughters. Mr. Richardson lived to a good old age, was one of the first selectmen and held the office sev- eral years. Isaac Stearns was also from Bethel. Me. He was a man of considerable ability and enterprise. He built a mill, acquired some prop- erty, then moved to Western New York. He lived on the east side of the river where C. D. Hamlin now resides. Samuel Crafts was from Hebron, Me .; he was one of the pioneers of 1822. He had a large family of children. His wife was a Sturtevant from Hebron. One son, Rev. F. A. Crafts, is a Methodist clergyman, a resident of Connecticut. Col. Wel- come A. Crafts was another son of Samuel. James H. Horn located at West Milan, was the first elected town clerk. He was licensed to sell liquor, and kept a hotel at West Milan at the time of the construction of the railroad. It is said that a barrel of burning-fluid was sent here by mistake in place of liquor, and gave such satisfaction that another barrel was ordered "just exactly the same kind."
Peter Wheeler, the first clerk elected at an annual meeting in Berlin, moved to Milan in 1834. He settled on a place on Milan Hill road, was a bricklayer. He was a soldier of the War of 1812, and participated in the battle of Plattsburgh. He took active part in town matters in Milan, was clerk, selectman and treasurer, also representative for two years in the legislature. He lived a long and useful life, and died in 1874, aged eighty- three.
The Twitchell family has been a leading one in Milan since the first settlement, coming here in 1524. Cyrus and Ransom Twitchell were taxed residents in 1825.
Many of these people came from Maine, a state well known and noted for its enterprising inhabitants. They brought with them the inherited traits of a goodly ancestry, which their children and children's children have also inherited. Others came from Massachusetts, descendants of some of the early and prominent families there. Thus Milan's pioneers were

well equipped with the necessary characteristics for the settlement of a town: and, to day, after the lapse of nearly three quarters of a century, we find peaceful, prosperous, intelligent and thriving residents occupying comfortable homes, and who feel indeed that "their lines have fallen in pleasant places."
