Notes

Updated March 14, 2014. Compiled by Howder (www.howderfamily.com) from the following source(s):

(1) 1850 United States Census Maine, York Co., Parsonfield, Page 372; August 28, 1850.

Emma [COBB] MILLIKEN is married to Rufus MILLIKEN, head of household. She is 47 years old and was born in Maine.

(2) 1860 United States Census for Maine, Waldo Co., Town of Brooks, Monroe Centre Post Office; Page 61, July 17, 1860.

Emma [COBB] MILLIKEN (listed as "Milican") is married to Rufus MILLIKEN, head of household. She is 57 years old and born in Maine. Various of Rufus' children and grandchildren from his first marriage also reside in the household.

(3) 1870 United States Census for Illinois, DeKalb Co., town of Somonauk (Somonauk Post Office): page 49; June 20, 1870.

Emma (COBB) MILLIKEN resides in the William BERRY household. She is 67 years old, born in Maine and is keeping house. This is the same town where her son James CRAMB (36 years old, Minister M.E. Church) and family resides -- see page 42, line 24.

(4) 1880 United States Census for Illinois, Jo Daviess Co., 2nd Ward City of Galena: Supervisor's District 2; Enumeration District 53; page 34; June 15, 1880.

Emma MILLIKEN (listed as "Milligan") resides with her son James O. CRAM (46 years old, pastor of Methodist Church) and family (his wife Lydia and children John, George, Albert, Edgar and Louis). Emma is 77 years old and born in Maine, with her parents born in Massachusetts.

- Name: Emme COBB MILLIKEN
- Birth: May 8, 1803; Limerick, York County, Maine, USA
- Death: Dec. 16, 1880; Fairbury; Jefferson County, Nebraska, USA
- Burial: Fairbury Cemetery; Fairbury, Jefferson County, Nebraska, USA
- NOTE: Additional marker reads, "Emma COBB (CRAM) MILLIKEN, daughter of a Revolutionary soldier, erected by Quivera Chapter D. A. R."
- Additional NOTE: Her son, James Oliver CRAMB is buried in the same cemetery. He apparently added a "B" onto his surname. The stone reads, James O. CRAMB, son of John CRAM and Emme COBB MILLIKEN, Sept. 9, 1833 - June 17, 1904.

(6) "History of the families Millingas and Millanges," by G. T. Ridlon, Sr., 1907 via Archive.org

"Capt. Rufus MILLIKEN… m., second, Mrs. Emme (COBB) CRAM, who, after his death, Dec. 23, 1863, went West to live with a son of her first marriage. Rev. CRAM."

(7) "Illustrated History of Nebraska: A History of Nebraska from the Earliest Explorations of the Trans-Mississippi Region, Volume 2" (Google eBook), Julius Sterling Morton, Albert Watkins, George L. Miller and J. North, 1913, pages 642-644.

This source establishes locations where Emme (COBB) (CRAM) MILLIKEN would have lived after Rufus MILLIKEN passed away in 1863 and she moved to the Midwest to live with her son Rev. James O. CRAMB: "In 1875 Mr CRAMB served successively as a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church at Wheaton, Ill. at Channahon, Ill. at Sandwich, Ill. at Rochelle, Ill. 1871; at Morris Ill. 1872-75; at Polo Ill. 1875-78; at Galena Ill. 1880… In the fall of 1880 he removed to Nebraska." This would explain why Emme was in Illinois in June 1880 and in Nebraska when she passed away that December.
