Subject: [LAWESTCA] Richard Millikin

*Richard Millikin *was a prominent citizen of West Carroll Parish (Carroll
Parish), Louisiana. He owned large amounts of property and a plantation.
His wife was *Margaret Shaw*, whose family came from Southern Louisiana.
They both died in West Carroll Parish, as far as I know, and are supposedly
buried on their plantation located on Leggitt Crossing Rd. Twenty years ago
there was a sign that said Millikin Farms at the entrance to the property.
I would like to get the information off of those headstones (if they are
still there) and possibly headstone pictures as I have no death dates for
them.
I also have no idea who their parents were or exactly where they came from.


Richard - Born - Abt 1795 South Carolina
Died - Aft Civil War and Bef 1880 - supposedly killed by
carpetbaggers
Married - 8 May 1845 East Carroll Parish, Louisiana

Margaret - Born - 1825 Louisiana
Died - Btwn 1880 & 1883 West Carroll Parish, Louisiana

Children - James Shaw Millikin
Robert C. Millikin
Creed Tanner Millikin
Richard M. Millikin
John D. Millikin
Margurite Millikin
Only James Shaw, Creed Tanner, and John D. lived to adulthood and had
families. I am also looking for more information on John D. Millikin.
