Family

"Dr. Abithar Millard (as he spelled his name) was born June 22, 1744:, at Rehoboth, Massachusetts. He married Tabitha Hopkins, who was born Oct. 16, 1745, daughter of Ebenezer Hopkins of Harwinton, Conn., afterwards of Pittsford, Yt. Soon after their marriage they went to reside in Dutchess Co., N.Y., where their first child, Abithar, was born, May 6, 1763. Tabitha was born March 4, 1765 ; Lydia, Oct. 14, 1768 ; Huldah, March 5, 1773 ; Sarah, January 18, 1775; Olive, May 5, 1778 ; Phoebe, Aug. 12, 1781 ; Jesse, Oct. 6, 1784 ; Almon H., April 19, 1788. With the exception of the first, the record does not state where the above children were born. It is evident that Dr. Millard located in Pittsford in the spring of 1788." (page 226) ^[2]

"He soon after purchased Lot No. 9, of the Town Plot, or what is now the southwest corner of the lot owned by C. A. Hitchcock, being nearly identical with the garden west of the present house. He cleared this lot and built upon it a house which was probably the fourth then standing on 'Blackberry Hill.' The house was a small one hastily constructed, and it was occupied as soon as it was completed, and the youngest child, Solomon Eddy, was born here Feb. 17, 1789." (page 226)^[3]

"We know nothing of his (Dr. Abiathar Millard's) education, or of his ability as a practitioner, nor of the extent of his professional business, but it is evident from the records that much of his attention was given to land speculation. He removed from the town about the year 1808. His sixth daughter, Phebe, born August 11, 1781, married Nathaniel Fillmore, and was the mother of Ex-President Fillmore." (page 593)^[4]
