Hannah Millikin Blair

  • Rose Wilkinson

This work was created for Gibbs Smith Education. Hannah Millikan Blair, Quaker revolutionary patriot, was the daughter of William Millikan, first register of deeds of Randolph County, and his wife Jane Roan (or White?). She was born in Chester City, Pa., shortly before the family moved to Deep River in North Carolina. Married to Enos Blair, she became the mother of a new baby every year during the American Revolution yet managed to help soldiers with food, supplies, and other assistance that was in keeping with her Quaker religious beliefs.
