I Samuel Millikin of Scarborough in the County of Cumberland and State of Maine am now in my ninetieth year of age and do dispose and say I was well acquainted with Isaac Millikin formerly of this town but now deceased. I was also acquainted with the woman he married both before & after their marriage. Her name was Sarah Foss and she lived in Saco. said Millikin was a soldier in the army, he came home and one day in the fall of the year, as I pretty near, seventeen hundred and seventy eight. There was a Militia Muster at Gorham, at which I attended. on my return home in the afternoon, I found some of my neighbors at Mr. Isaac Millikin, proposing to go over to the wedding. They went over accordingly and I heard them say that the parties were married. I attended the meeting in Scarborough on the next sabbath and as the custom was in those days, they appeared there as a new married couple. I knew them and after saw them. He was my cousin. They lived together as man & wife. and had several children. About twenty years ago, they moved from here to Effingham in New Hampshire. - Samuel his Millikin mark. Signed in my presence James R.
