Note* "Benjamin and Margaret Bales Millikan's family was in som respects a remarkable one. They had fourteen children in a period of twenty years and had only one pair of twins among them. Twelve of these children lived to grow up and have families of their own."

"By his father's will, Benjamin received sixty acres of land adjoining the lands of Joshua Holliday, Frank Lytle and others, known as Pine Tract. 'My son, Benjamin, having already received a title to two hundred acres of land as part of his share.' Benjamin was one of the executers of the will."

"In person, he was of medium height, well built and somewhat portly. He encouraged his children to go West because of the slavery question. He visited the West several times. He went with his sons-in-law George and Thomas Stalker when they moved to Iowa in 1851 and took his own horses and wagon."

"He was a life member of the Friend's Church and was broad and strong-minded, much lived and a man of influence. His voice of influence was always raised against the use of strong drink and tobacco, and he was a life-long opponent of slavery and suffered persecution on account of his conviction. He helped many a poor slave to escape from the land of bondage. He would take them after night in his old fashioned closed carriage often traveling all night in his old fashioned carriage to the house of Friends, whence they could be conveyed on to freedom. He often said there were people then living who would see the downfall of slavery. He was an active conductor of "The Underground Railroad" having special charge of the portion of the route from High Point, North Carolina to New Garden, North Carolina. He was a neighbor and fellow-worker with Levi Coffin and other members of that noted family." From Millard F. Huson's Notes on the Millikan Family., Principal=Margaret Bales1
