Biography of Jacob Millikin
From HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY
W. H. Beers [Chicago, 1883]
Page 977
JACOB MILLIKIN, retired farmer, P. O. Plain City, was born in Washington County, Penn., October 11, 1809. He is a son of James and Elizabeth (Cook) Millikin, natives of Pennsylvania, of Scotch-Irish descent. They emigrated to Ohio in 1830, and settled in Canaan Township, where his father purchased 1,500 acres of land for 75 cents per acre. He was a purveyor, and died in 1870. Our subject received only such education as could be acquired in the district schools, but, by dint of hard study, he succeeded in laying by a good store of information. His father had a family of nine children, viz., Samuel, deceased: Martha, wife of James Boyd; Daniel; John; Jacob; Elizabeth, wife of Henry Alder; Ann, wife of Solomon Cary; James, a retired farmer and Andrew Jacob was married in 1835 to Sarah A. Carey, a daughter of Abijah Carey; she was born where they now live in 1813. They have two children, William and Sarah. Mr. Millikin owns 500 acres of land. He is a Democrat, but has never aspired to official honor of any kind.
