Honorable John Jesse Milliken1
M, b. 5 January 1856

- The Milliken Family
Honorable John Jesse Milliken was referenced in E. Polk Johnson's "A History of Kentucky and Kentuckians" the text states:
Among the representative citizens of Franklin, Simpson county, Kentucky, John Jesse Milliken holds a secure vantage ground in the esteem of his fellow men and he has gained and retained to himself a high place on the roll of distinguished legists and jurists in this section of the Blue Grass commonwealth. Descended from staunch Scotch-Irish ancestry, his forebears were early settlers in North Carolina, whence his grandfather emigrated to Kentucky. Mr. Milliken was born in Simpson county, Kentucky, on the 5th of January, 1856, and he is a son of Robert Franklin and Eliza Thompson (Hail) Milliken. Robert F. Milliken was born on the Kentucky Purchase February 11, 1811. In the days before the war he was a prominent farmer and slave owner. He settled on the farm on which the subject of this review now maintains his home in 1821 and he was one of the early pioneers of Simpson county. Although his sympathies were with the south during the climacteric period of Civil war he strongly advocated the emancipation of the slave and would have given his own slaves their freedom had they any place to go or the wherewithal to earn a decent livelihood. He was very much attached to his slaves and refused sixteen hundred dollars per head for them, thinking that they might fall into the hands of cruel masters. He was a very enterprising and public-spirited citizen and built the first school-house in this section. He married Eliza Thompson Hail, who was born and reared in Simpson county and who was a daughter of John and Betsy (Wilkins) Hail. He was a native of New York and she was a native of Simpson county, Kentucky. They became the parents of nine children, four of whom survive and maintain their home in Franklin, namely – Mary Susan, Narcissa Frances, Melvina Angeline and John Jesse, to whom this sketch is dedicated. None of the above mentioned are married. Robert Franklin Milliken was summoned to eternal rest on the 31st of December, 1890, and his cherished and devoted wife passed away June 14, 1881.
John Jesse Milliken availed himself of the advantages of the public schools of his native county and he later supplemented this discipline by a course of study in Cumberland University, at Lebanon, Tennessee, in which well ordered institution he was graduated as a member of the class of 1875. He soon thereafter began the reading of law under able preceptorship and was given license to practice at the Kentucky bar prior to attaining his legal majority. He was also elected county attorney before his twenty-first birthday and he has continued in the successful practice of his profession during the long intervening years to the present time. He controls a large and representative clientage and has figured prominently in many of the most important litigations in the state and federal courts. In politics he accords a stalwart allegiance to the cause of the Democratic party and he has ever been alert and deeply in sympathy with all measures tending to advance the general welfare of the community. For a number of years he was incumbent of the positions of county judge and county attorney, in both of which offices he gave most distinguished service. He is a man of quick perception and remarkable executive ability and among his professional confreres and business associates he is known as a man of impregnable integrity and fair and honorable methods. His religious faith is that of the Baptist church and in a fraternal way he is affiliated with the Knights of Pythias, the Improved Order of Redmen, the Woodmen of America, the Woodmen of the World and in the time-honored Masonic order he holds membership in Bowling Green chapter, Royal Arch Masons. Aside from his other talents Mr. Milliken has considerable literary ability and has written locally for the Courier-Journal of Louisville and for the Cincinnati Enquirer. He also gives a large portion of his time and attention to his finely improved farm of four hundred acres in this county, on which are growing grain, corn, wheat and tobacco.2
He was born on 5 January 1856 at Simpson County, Kentucky, The 1900 census indicates his birth year as 1854.3,2 He was the son of Robert Franklin Milliken and Eliza Thompson Hail.1
