From Franklin Ellis' History of That Part of the Susquehanna and Juniata Valleys Embraced in the Counties of Mifflin, Juniata, Perry, Union and Snyder. Philadelphia, 1886.
Among the early settlers in the township was Samuel Milliken, son of James Milliken, who emigrated with his family from County Down, Ireland, in 1772, and located on the Conewago Creek, Dauphin County. He died about a month after his arrival, leaving a wife, one son and four daughters.
Samuel, the son, the same year of his father's death, came to the valley, and three years later married Margaret Foster and bought a tract later known as the Bolton tract of Henry Drinker for twelve shillings per acre. He died in 1804, and at that time was in possession of over one thousand acres.
His sons were James, Robert, Joseph, David and Foster. His daughters were Barbara and Jane. James and Joseph were merchants in Lewistown many years. Robert was engaged in milling and in the manufacture of woolen goods. Foster lived at Milroy and was one of the proprietors of Marion Furnace. He died in 1828.
