General Notes: Husband - Maj. James Milliken


The name of Milliken can be traced to Saxon origin as far back as the thirteenth century. If we may rely on well-authenticated tradition and imperfect church records, the name is of even earlier date, as following the conquests of that most warlike branch of the Teutonic race, into France, thence to England, Scotland and the north of Ireland. An old history of Renfrewshire, Scotland, makes considerable mention of the Milliken family, their residence, called "Milliken Place," and the estate, called "Milliken Barony." Unfortunately many valuable records relating to the early history of this family, were destroyed with "Milliken Place" by fire in the eighteenth century; the estate was shortly afterwards vested by inheritance in Sir Robert John Milliken Napier, of Milliken, a great-great-grandson of Maj. James Milliken, founder of the Milliken estate in Scotland.
