Welcome to the Milliken family genealogy. Family units are arranged alphabetically by the first name of the father (or single-parent mother). Links are provided to enable you to move up and Millikenn each lineage. To follow a line back in time (ancestors), click on the underlined portion of “(son of …)” or “(dau. of …)” beneath the name of the person you want to trace back. To follow a line forward in time (descendants), click on the name of the person whose offspring you want to see. A plus sign (+) following a name means that that person had one or more children, but that family group has not been added to this web page. To view documentation, including census data, click on the link “documentation and notes” below a family.

A little work by each of us will save a lot of work for all of us.

The earliest census records for Mount Desert Island that listed a Milliken as a "head of family" was the 1790 census of the town of Mount Desert, which reported a Samuel Milliken household with 1 "free white male" 16 and older, 2 under 16, and 4 "free white females". (Note that these 7 did not all have to be Millikens.) The same household was reported in the 1800 census of Mount Desert, now with 2 males 16–26, 1 male 45 and over, 1 female under 10, 1 female 10–16, 2 females 16–26, and 1 female over 45. Subsequent years reported the following households, all in the town of Mount Desert.
1810 Mount Desert: Samuel Milliken (9 residents including Samuel), Samuel Milliken Jr. (4), Simeon Milliken (7)
1820 Mount Desert: Samuel (2), Samuel Jr. (7), Simeon (10)
1830 Mount Desert: Samuel Jr. (16), Simeon Jr. (12)
1837 Mount Desert: Samuel (2), Simeon (10)
1840 Mount Desert: Catharine (2)
1840 Seaville: Simeon (7) on Hardwood Island Until the 1850 census, individuals members of a household were reported only by a number in a category (e.g., "3 females under 10").
