Sandra, I had obviously missed this
or read it and forgot it (could that be?)
Anyway, you might have given me another
lead---I'm still missing folks in this Brashear/Milliken
connection and Jefferson Co., TN is one county that
I haven't looked.

Thanks a bunch!
(and sorry I have been so slow to respond)

<< Beth,
I'm sure the Milliken's probably trace back to Virginia and Tennessee, but I
don't have any information on them but the fact that my great grandmother
Scribner's first marriage was to a man named Milliken, and she had one son
named Dave Millken by him. I don't even know what happened to him. The
reason I say probably they trace back is that a lot ot these people I have
found traveled from state to state together and my Blackburn line does trace
back to Va. and connect to the Branner/Brenner family of Casper Branner who
received a grant of 400 acres of land August 4, 1760 , from Lord Fairfax in
what was then known as the "northern neck of Virginia". At that time
Frederick Co. now Shenandoah County, I think. It's possible I suppose that
there were some of the Millikens who came from that area also, I just don't
know anything about them.
As for Missouri, this bunch were in Moniteau Co. Mo. , Jefferson Co.
Tennessee, Wise and Cook Co. Texas and Pittsburg Co and Pontotoc Co.
Oklahoma. They spent a short time in Benton Co. Arkansas just before the
outbreak of the Civil War and returned to Missouri where several of them
enlisted.

Not a lot of help am I?
