William II, After his marriage he settled on a land grant of 400 acres near New Salem, North Carolina. He crossed the Great Smokey Mountains in 1792 and settled on a tract of land in northwestern Tennessee, near Morriston (3 miles NW). The site of his dwelling commanded a view of the Clinch Mountains 10 mile north, and the Great Smokey Mountains 40 miles south. The Lands are somewhat hilly, but overlook the fertile valley near at hand, there is a cool spring of limestone water on the east and a stream winds down to mingle with other spring streams on there way to the Great Holston river. His house was built of large chestnut logs, hewed square, and was on the ground plan 20 x 30 feet, two stories, with cellar underneath. There were also two porches of two stories on the north and south sides, and the large chimneys were laid up with limestone rock. A spacious building of one room, used for a kitchen and dining room stood near the principal dwelling. William Millikan remained on his farm until the death of his wife, but spent his last days in the home of his son-in-law, Jesse Howell, where he died aged 84 years. They were buried in the Economy grave yard not distant from there home but no inscribed monuments mark their place of rest, only rude natural stones. He was a man of enormous size, weighing not less than 300 pounds. His eyes were blue, his hair rather light, and his complexion fair and rather florid. Mr Millikan was not known to have used the land surveyor's instrument after his settlement in Tennessee but he had blacksmith's and gunsmith's shop near his house, where he made farm implements and guns, and did some work as a silversmith.
