Subject: Re: Milam Family Research

Hi Mike,
Good to hear from you again.

The William who was a son of Thomas who died in 1775 in Bedford   County,   Virginia, is very well researched.  He was born circa 1746 in Orange County, Virginia to Thomas and he married, lived and died by 1791 in Bedford County, Virginia.  His children are proven through several documents, including the will of his wife which names all of their children. All of the children settled in western North Carolina.

Talk at you later,

Robert M. Wilbanks IV

 This information has been gleaned from over 20 years of doing research on my Milam family line and thus I believe that it may be of interest to you.  In my mind the only way to verify something is to have documentation I.E. a birth certificate, death notification or other proof of validation.  The information I am including is what has been verified.

The name "Mileham" was probably given to this manor by the Anglo Saxons in the 10th Century.  The name was probably derived from the Anglo Saxon "Mylen", a mill.  Records show that the name Mileham existed in the year 1100.  Within this manor was the Mileham castle and a church called "St. John The Baptist".

Records show that in 1377 there was anciently a family who took their name from the town.  George De Mileham had lands here about the 5th year of the rein of Edward III.  He also had a brother named William.  William Mileham left a daughter and heir named Margaret, who married Nicholas Atte-Church.

From many of the old records and oral communication of our ancestors came this caveat of information.  One branch of the Mileham clan came from Wales and then migrated to Yorkshire, England to Boston, Massachusetts and then to Virginia.  This information is in line with the fact that the Mileham heraldry is
that of a knight or soldier.  Wales was conquered and settled by the English in the 13th and 14th centuries.  There were many great castles and garrisons built in Wales to house the English soldiers left to defend the land.

On coming to America the name was shortened to Milam, Milum and Mylum due to lack of education.  In early days written documents frequently were prepared by other individuals who could read and write.  As early as 1716 the name Mileham was often shortened to Mileam, Milum and Mylum.  Legal documents would often have last names of brothers spelled differently.

From the children of John and Christian Milam very little data can be traced.  One son Ebenezer (Egan) witnessed a will in Maryland on 26 Feb 1675.

One son, Joseph Milam was born on 26 Feb 1652 and married Harrah (Heriah) King on 31 Oct 1688.  They belonged to The Old South Church of Boston, Mass.  From this marriage was born three children, Joseph Jr., Mark and John.  A will dated 14 Aug 1730 ?was left by Joseph who died on 6 Mar 1737.  The will named all
three sons and his wife, with Mark and John as executors.
 
When the Milam family settled in Indiana the called their town Carlisle after their home in England.
Jo ter, Lime, and Grain.  It is located 40 miles SW of Carlisle and 320 miles NW of London.  When the Milehams came to Va., they  changed their name to Milam, than  they migrated first to Ky. than to In.  In Indiana they first settled in a village that they called Carlisle after their home in England.

The Mileham brothers Samuel and John came from England.  They changed their name to Milam.  This is documented in William and Mary College Quarterly, See Virginia Magazine- Vol. 6 page 104.

Samuel Milam married Martha Gardner on 8 Sept 1724 in Va.  Children born to this marriage were:  John born in 1725, Thomas born in 1727 and Archibald born in 1729.
As you can see from the following chart my family line travels from Samuel to Thomas to Moses to Jarvis to John F. to James H. to Ralph than to Me (John J.).

I would appreciate any and all family data that you would like to share with me.

It should be noted that he named his only surviving son ,  Horace Greely Douglas, "Harison Greely Douglas"    He died on 9 May 1922 in Long, Warren Co., Kentucky.30  Died of Nephritis complicated by senilety  He was buried on 9 May 1922 in Cherry's Chapel, Warren Co., Kentucky.31  See obituary, the cemetery is well maintained even today.  He had an Obituary in The Park  City Daily News on 9 May 1922 in Warren Co., Kentucky.32

                                                                                    "James Douglas"

   "James Douglas, 75 years old died near Long, this county, last night at 11 o'clock of a complication of diseases, after an illness of eight months.

   The furnel services were held this afternoon at 1 o'clock at the Cherry's Chappel by Rev. J.D. Lindsay the Pastor.  The internment was in the church graveyard.

   The deceased was born and reared in Warren County and engaged in farming until his health failed him.  He leaves a widow, two daughters, several nephews and nieces, He was a member of the Christian Church."

It should be noted that he only had one surviving daughter and son.  His other daughter died before her tenth birthday.  He appeared on the 1900  Census in the Greencastle Dist., Warren Co., Kentucky.33  This 1900 census reveals that James and Celia had five children.  Only four can be accounted for, therefore one must have died at birth oe shortly after.  He appeared on the 1910  Census in the Greencastle Dist., Warren Co., Kentucky.34  This census shows their grandson, Burleough living with them.  His great grandson William B. Douglas remembered him as being very eccentric in his later years.  He would sit on his front porch and yell at people passing by who he didn't like.  His comments were mostly political as James Douglas was a staunch Federalist, Warren County was a Federal County in the Civil War.

In more recent times, another Milam that became famous was my brother Marvin.  His
story was published in the December issue of The Readers Digest, and is reprinted
below:

                                TWO MEN ON A ICE FLOW

   High above the freezing waters of a branch of Alaska's cook inlet, Marv Milam, a 36 year old Surveyor, was piloting his Cessna 180.  Beside him sat his boss and close friend, Key Broussard, 32.  The two men were returning to their offices at N. L. Sperry-Sun in Anchorage after having lunch at Big Lake Lodge, 24 miles north.  They shared a passion for hunting, flying and the wild, awesome beauty of the Alaskan bush, and they had discussed plans for a moose hunt up north.  Now, looking out the window, Ken marveled at the sight of the Chugach Mountains, their flowing snow-capes fringed with faded emerald forests.  It was still winter - March 5, 1981 - but spring wasn't too far off.

   "Should be great hunting this year," Ken called above the Cessna's roar.  But Marv was suddenly distracted by the sound of the engine.  He checked the instruments. "We're losing altitude," he said.  Marv radioed Merrill Field.  "We're five miles north, altitude six hundred feet," he reported.  "We're going down in the inlet.  Need
help..."

   He looked for a place to land.  Off to the left, among chunks of ice the size of army tanks bobbing in the restless waters, was a sand bar.  Within seconds, the plane touched down on the soggy mud flat, shuddered, slid, then lurched to a stop.  "Elmendorf Air Force Base is only four or five miles away," Marv said.  "They'll have
a chopper here soon."

   A small splashing sound startled the two men.  From the crack between the door and floor, a tiny serpent of dirty water uncoiled toward the center of the cabin.     "Oh no!" Marv said as he felt the plane starting to pitch.  "Tide's coming in.  We' ve got to get out of here - fast." He knew that Cook Inlet had one of the world's
highest tides; which created powerful currents and a dangerous undertow.  Normally a man could survive in its 28-degree water little more than 30 minutes.
 
He grabbed two small emergency locator transmitters (ELTs).  One was a cheap model he had bought 15 years before and planned to throw away.  Probably doesn't even work, he though, but flipped it on and stuffed it into Ken's parka pocked, slipping the newer ELT into his own.

"These will send a signal to the rescue plan," Marv explained to Ken.  "But don't let the transmitter get submerged.  It's not waterproof."    Ken kicked the door open, and the men stepped out.  Ken was wearing gloves; Marv had left his in the office.  Then a wave engulfed the plane, and Marv's legs buckled
in the undertow.  Ken fell backward into the icy water.  Moments later, he bobbed to he surface flailing his arms.
 
"Marv!" he sputtered, his lungs fighting for air.  "So cold!  Can't get my breath..."  His words choked off in a spasm of coughing.    "Don't swim," Marv called.  Grab that ice floe.  Try to pull your body out of the water."  The water was waist-high now and churning like a wild animal.  Marv could feel his boots sinking into the mud.  Suddenly he knew.  Quicksand!  Like a steel trap, the powder-fine glacial silt held him motionless.
 
He hauled at one foot.  It wouldn't budge.  Frantically, he strained and yanked until it slipped free of the boot.  He strained at the other foot.  Finally, it too popped out of the boot.    Now the water was chest-high, and he dived toward Ken, extending his arms across the ice block.    "Your hands!"  Marv commanded.  "Reach!"  Wearily, Ken pushed his arms across the three-foot ice floe.  "Grab my coat collar and I'll grab yours," Marv yelled.  "We'll    lock arms over the ice.  That'll keep us afloat and partly out of the water for a while.  It's our only chance."  Their lives were literally in each other's hands.  Ken Broussard knew his friend was tough and had hired him as a surveyor two years ago.

Marv had come to Alaska from Arizona in 1976 - worked as a ship's engineer, a construction worker and a bush pilot.  He'd had his share of flying adventures in the far north.    "Maybe the tide will push us to shore," Ken shouted.  Marv knew otherwise.  "Just keep holding tight," he said.  "Repeat after me:  I'M holding.  Steel-tight...Steel- tight."  "I'm... holding," Ken began, his teeth chattering.  "Steel...tight."

The Air Rescue C -130 "Kingbird" was on a routine training mission when the Elmendorf Rescue Coordination Center in Anchorage, 110 miles to the northeast, ordered the plane to the scene.  "Cessna with two on board down somewhere in the inlet," Elmendorf radioed.  "They'll last only a few minutes."    As Capt Frank Mason, Jr., the Kingbird's pilot, turned the plane and barreled back toward Anchorage, his radio operator began picking up an ELT signal.  The kingbirds's specialized tracking equipment could pinpoint the men for the rescue chopper Elmendorf would send.  But will they still be alive? Mason wondered.

Tremors rippled through Marv's body.  He stiffened his jaw against the cold.  The tide twisted and pulled him while huge chunks of ice thumped against his body.  Floating up to their armpits, their arms locked across the ice raft, he and Ken might survive 20 minutes -- maybe 25, Marv figured.  He peered into Ken's eyes.  They were glassy, and his lips were purple.  The men had been in the water for only minutes.  It felt like hours.

Through a haze of pain, Ken thought of his wife, Dee, a 26 year old elementary- school teacher, who had gone to college in his home town, Lafayette, La.  When Ken left that morning, Dee had been planing a party to celebrate his birthday.  And in only three weeks, they would be off to Hawaii on a vacation they had been promising themselves for almost two years.  Hawaii!  Oh God, he wondered, will I ever be warm again ?  The ELT antenna sticking out of his pocket was dipping beneath the surface. Have to get it out of the water, Marv though.  Holding on to Ken's collar with his left hand, he reached for the antenna with his right.
   "You're ...l-letting go, "Ken stammered.  "Don't let go!"
   "Got to lift the antenna..."
   "Hang on," Ken said weakly.  Our only hope... is each other."

   At the Helicopter Launch Base of Elmendorf's 71st air-rescue squadron, the operations officer quickly briefed a flight crew and dispatched them to a chopper. Minutes later, the chopper chattered upward.

   Marv's eyes ached.  He could feel the current sweeping them up the middle of the water.  Suddenly the ice floe tilted sharply, and the sea and sky began to teeter- totter wildly.  Ken gagged and coughed.  Marv strained for a better grip.  Then he searched the horizon and, high overhead, spotted a plane.  But it kept on going.  Marv
looked over at Ken - he, too, had seen the plan.  Marv struggled for words, working his mouth and grimacing, but nothing came out.  By now they had been in the water, Ken guessed, for 20 minutes.

   Capt Buster Hampton took his rescue chopper down to 300 feet.  Below, cross- currents crashed into each other, creating fierce, swirling eddies.  What a terrible way to go!  he thought.  He looked ahead for the C -130 Kingbird.  It would be homing in on the signal.  Hampton needed directions.  In the quiet, close cockpit of the C -
   130, naviagator Lt Col. Walter Stevenson felt hot and tense.  "Air force Rescue 807, this is Air Force Rescue 986," he spoke sharply into the mike, calling the chopper.  "we show the ELT to be farther west of your present position.  You guys are too far east."
   "Roger," came the response.  "We're heading that way.  We'll be there in a couple
of minutes."

   Marv looked across at his friend.  Mustering all his strength, he shook Ken's collar.  There was no response.  Ken's eyes looked dim and lifeless.  Then a movement above caught Marv's attention.  A plane!  He tightened his grip on Ken's collar and gave a small shake.  Ken blinked his eyes.

   In the chopper's cargo bay, parajumper Alex Wassuta tried to peer through the emergency-escape window.  To get a better view, he popped the window open.  Bracing against a freezing blast of air, he pushed his head out.  "Right below us," he called.  "What's that ?"
"It's them!" Hampton yelled.  "Two men!"

Flight engineer Tsgt Bob Hoak, in charge of the rescue hoist, knew that the powerful blasts from the rotor blades could push the pair off the ice raft.  The trick was to position the chopper directly above the men.  This would minimize the turbulence.  Hoak realized they would have to do it right the first time.    "Lower Five," he called to Hampton at the controls. "Right  Five..." Crouched beside Hoak, Wassuta pointed to the men in the rolling slush.  They were motionless.

   "God, they look bad," Hoak said.  "Get to them Fast.  Forward ten. Right Fifteen." Everyone tensed.  "Hold hover," Hoak called.  With a thumbs-up signal, he signaled Wasssuta out the cargo door.

As he neared the thrashing sea, Wassuta slipped off the hoist seat and splashed into the water.  Neither of them looked at him.  Quickly he hooked a safty line to Marv.  Next, straining in the cold, Wassuta maneuvered Ken into the hoist seat.

   "Okay," Wassuta yelled above the roar of the chopper.  "We'll haul you up one at a time."  He gave Hoak a thumbs-up sign.

As the hoist seat jerked upward toward the chopper, Ken slipped off it -- just three feet from the cargo door.  Held only by a thin chest strap, he dangled like someone on a gallows.  Maybe we're too late, Wassuta thought.  But grabbed by the shoulders, Ken was dragged inside the chopper.  Heating pads were stuffed in his armpits and along his groin.  Then Marv was hauled in and placed near the chopper's heaters.

"Two survivors aboard!"  Hoak called jubilantly into the intercom.  On the trip to Providence Hospital in Anchorage, Marv suffered violent tremors and Ken drifted in and out of consciousness as oxygen was administered.  Marv's body temperature was 94 degrees Fahrenheit at the hospital, Ken's, 90 -  a hairsbreadth from coma.  The harrowing ordeal in the icy waters had lasted 42 minutes.

Miraculously, neither suffered long-term injury, and both left the hospital after only three days.  Later, they would learn that the new ELT had gotten wet and stopped working.  It was the battered old ELT that actually signaled their position.  Every year on March 5, the two men and a group of their friends gather for a "survival party," and toast the ELT that hangs from the ceiling of Latitude 62 Lodge, the hotel Marv and his wife, Jane, now own.

They look back on their experience with awe.  "Alaska is a tough land that teaches you how to be strong and independent,:  Marv Milam says.  "But then you run into something like Ken and I did, and you learn all over again that, no matter how tough you think you are, there are always times then you need someone else.

On 5-23-90 Jane wrote the following letter to my mother

Dear Grandma,

Hope all is well with you.  Wish you were here. Just a short note to tell you what we are up to and to bore you with a few stories about our adventure.

We are at the Norton Sound ... near Nome, Alaska.  We are surrounded by big icebergs and it is very cold.  We had a helicopter go ahead of us to point out a route mostly ice free.  The sea is very calm and we are easing our way Northward.  We had taken lots of photos and videos of the ice.  Each is a unique sculpture, making us feel so small and fragile.  The cracking and moaning sounds as if we are becoming an anchor. Little time is spent on deck as the temperature is freezing.  Aileron (our dog) runs from the wheel house where he quickly learned is the center of all excitement to the anchor, barking out at the ice, birds and waves.  Never a dull moment.  As the seas go rough, I go HORIZONTAL.  I am not the sailor as Marvin is, but still must keep to my duties.  I had rather be in the engine room rather than the galley.  Night never comes to the North so our watches in the wheel house are no longer dark and lonely.  Sea life abounds and we are never far from running to the wheel house or to the upper deck for viewing and video taping.  Marv will bore you with lots of new Alaska VCR tapes. Marv has said many times "I should be paying someone to allow me to do this".  We are having a ball and each moment is an ADVENTURE. Birds are so abundant here, reflecting on the life cycle supply of the food chain.  When the herring catch is great so are the number of birds.  A heavy vessel with lots of birds as escort tells everyone that
one fisherman is happy with his catch today.  My favorite birds never tire of entertaining us.  Several are so filled with the abundant bounty of the fish that their bellies will not allow them to become airborne.  Wings turn into flippers as they rapidly row to freedom out of the path of our boat.  We are their fan club, we often bet on their ability to get to safety, but none have failed yet.  Eagles served  as our sentries in Prince William Sound, as
we sat at the site of the 89 oil spill.  Our very first opening found us overflowing with fish... 90 tons.  What a way to start the 90 season.  The season was only 20 minutes lone.  These guys wait all year for 20 that minute opportunity.  One of our guys had 90 tons in his net only to have it snagged on a rock, as soon as an opening appeared in his net the fish played follow the leader and within ten minutes his net was empty; so sad.

Excitement is thick in the air; each fisherman secretly runs to his pre-selected fishing area and slides his/her nets into the cold Arctic water... praying for the biomass to be deep and mature.  The eggs are the source of great demand by the Japanese market, so each school is tested before the nets are set in place.  This is
to insure that the eggs are at the height of their maturity, but not too mature.  This is the $64,000 question.  Are the Herring ready?  Not to early, not too late.  We move with the weather, as the herring return to shore rocks and kelp to deposit their fragile eggs.  We hope for deep water as the rocks are dangerous to the vessel.  If
deep water is not in our favor, we hope for sand or mud. Several hours we have rested on the sand bar, waiting for the tide to come in and raise us, to float again. Patience and the resulting sensation of gradually floating again, until we can move under our own power.

Once the fish are in the boat, the work becomes and we forget that our feet ache or that sleep is something in the distant past.  The job is always wet, the deck is covered with water.  Rain gear is a our business suit that we wear.  Often it is the weather that we are hiding from.  The Arctic snow and rain are bone chilling.  On
other days we are bored and so retreat to our VCR, movies or light reading. Newspapers are non-existent; radio programs are rare and than full of static.  All vessels welcome the rare opportunity to stop in and chat or come over for coffee. This life is not unlike a big family back when communications were treasured.  Our
floating fish processors are like a big city to us; we see many new faces within 200 feet of us.  Our floating city is composed to mostly happy people who share in each others success or failure.  One second we are celebrating a once in a lifetime catch; and the next second everyone is sad over a snagged net or a dropped anchor.  At sea everyone is equal, the feeling of family is unique out here.  The voice of the weather lady is a constant source of information, not only about the weather but with the results of a fish catch in other regions.  Then we start wondering,"Should we have gone there instead of here"?  We are constantly waiting out the storms, but this gives us the welcome opportunity to visit and have coffee with the others in our floating city.  On sunny days and calm seas, we take our skiff to the beach and comb its shores.  Aileron loves to slide in the snow.  We love to get out feet on solid ground, to look for treasures lost by the Japanese fishing vessels and by our fellow herring
hunters.

National Geographic should be paying us as we explore this beautiful land and sea area.  Today we eased the vessel into the ice pack to peep at over 100 walrus.  Their heavy tusks just turn to stare at us as if to say, "What are you doing in our sunroom"?  Their hind flippers often reach up to stretch their tough, wrinkled skin.  I long for a good telephoto lens so that I might take some good pictures of them.  The ones that show any fear of us are the smaller ones.  When they caught sight of us they would slide into one of the many pools in the ice pack and then would bobb their heads to keep track of us.  The five mile ice pack that surround this santuary insures that
not vessel will get very close to them.  Some of these islands are so populated with walrus that special permits are required to travel even three miles from it.  Our ship (the Triton) sometimes nudged the ice into a massive spinning island.  Sometimes it yielded to us, but most times we respectfully gave it the right of way.
 

I will not talk long of the days when the ocean is showing its strength.  These days only aid in our appreciation for the lake-like days that we thrive on; well, must get to work.  Will get this on the helicopter to take to shore.
(We are at Latitude 64.. Arizona is 32... quite a difference?)

                                                          Love
 

                                                              Marv and Jane
Grandma wrote this postscript

   Marvin called me on 6-6-90 and said that they hauled 600,000 pounds of fish; that he was as far North as he could go, that it would take him 5 days to travel back to Bristol Bay; that he would wait for the Salmon run to start about 6-20-90.
