John Milligan (Soldier)

John Milligan (Soldier) was born in Ireland before 1754. From later records it appears he could have been about 8 to 12 years old when he arrived in New Castle with the rest of his family. That would make him 18-22 at the time his father moved the family to Augusta Co. VA in 1762. I am not certain he made the trip with the family or whether he stayed in PA. In the Chester County PA Tax List there is a John Milliken listed in West Nantmeal from 1764-1766 listed as a Freeman (over 21, single). This would fit with my estimation oh John's birthdate. The first record I have of him in VA is his entry into service in 1774. It is easy to see why he was tagged "Soldier".
