Biography

Norman was born in 1805. He passed away in 1889.

"In 1807, Norman Milliken, a Loyalist from New Brunswick, settled on lot 1, conc. 5 [in Markham], and engaged in the lumbering business, supplying the British Naval authorities. In order to control the drinking habits of the lumberman, Milliken bought or built a hotel on property he purchased on part of lot 1, conc. 6; the livery stables were located on the site of the present Texaco station, and numbers of old coins have been dug up in the area. Norman's daughter, Charlotte, a large, strong woman, was able to control any trouble in the tavern, which later burned down when fire destroyed the post office (granted in 1859). The Millikens, John, Norman and James, were still on lot 1, conc. 5 in 1860 (Tremaine map). " [1]
