until his majority.
He was soon after appointed executor of the estate of an uncle which
made it necessary
to go to Georgia, where he disposed of the "Woodbine Plantation". What
he saw while in
the south made him a strong anti-slavery man. After his return to the
north he became a
partner in a large store in Keene. He decided in 1840, to remove to the
then "far west", and
drove with a horse and chaise 400 miles and took up land in Clarendon,
N. Y. and
that was his home until his death. Mr. Milliken was a man of sterling
integrity, energetic
in business, of a kindly and geniel disposition, so that he was
respected and beloved by
all who knew him. On account of curtain doctrinal beliefs he never
united with any church,
but was a devout student of the Bible, a strict observer of the
sabbath, and one who
sought reverently to do the will of God. Politically, he was a strong
Republican, always
taking active interest in the success of the party. For 2 years in 1861
and 62 he was supervisor
of Clarendon. He was under the care of his son George, who always lived
on the homestead,
and from him received the most dutiful attention. The funeral was
attended by a large circle
of relatives friends and neighbors, who by their presence and kindly
words, testified
to the esteem they held the departed. His place of birth could have
