Hiram Milhausen appears to be the son of Daniel Millison and Margaret unknown (per 1850 census). The surname was apparently Muelheison originally, also recorded as Milhausen, Milhuisen, Millison and Milliron. Hiram Milhausen married Martha Jane Wilson, and had at least one child, daughter Mary E. (per 1860 census). It appears Martha Jane died at about age 32 in 1867. She is buried at Emanuel Lutheran Cemetery in Prospect. They may thus have lived in Franklin Twp., Butler Co. after marriage. Hiram's life after 1860 has not been traced. No gravestone for him was found at Emanuel Lutheran. He may be buried there without a stone. The 1870 census suggests Hiram and Martha Jane may have had a second daughter, Carrie, living with her grandfather Daniel Millison in that year.

CENSUS NOTES
- Neither Martha nor Hiram appears in the 1870 or 1880 Ancerstry.com registry search, under any of the name variations. Searching Muddy Creek Twp. for "Hiram" or "Martha" gave no likely variants, although there is a Martha Gallagher of the right age and with a daughter Mary in 1870.
- 1860 census: David Millison & Susan Millison are listed next to Hiram Millison. The 1850 census was not found for them by the Ancestry.com search engine.
- 1870 census: Daniel Millison as head of household appears to be housing his son Elmer (a brother of Hiram); his granddaughter Mary E. Millison (daughter of Hiram); his sister Susanna (Hiram's aunt); Carrie,(born ~1864), who could be a sister of Mary Etta (i.e., a 2nd child of Hiram & Martha Jane Wilson Millison).
- 1880 census: "Maiden" Aunt Susan is housing the child Carrie(born ~1864 and possibly a daughter of Hiram & Martha J. Millison), and a child Daniel (born ~1870, so would not have been a son of Martha Jane Wilson Milhausen who died 1867). He must be the child of another Millison family. Carrie and Daniel are enumerated as "niece" and "nephew" but are in fact great-niece and great-nephew. Carrie may be a child of Hiram Millison, but could also be Daniel's sister and the child of one of Hiram's brothers.
MILITARY NOTES
- Pension application, source 9, indicates that Martha applied for widow's pension in August 1864. At her death, reapplication was made for James Millison, a minor child (not seen before in census records); the "Gdn." notation by his name possibly suggests that the application filed in his name by his guardian.
The record of this James Millison suggests the possibility that the child Daniel, age 10 in 1880 in his great-aunt Susan's home, is possibly this James. Ancestry.com translates his name in this census as Daniel F; however the letter is possibly a "J", the crossbar rounding back and connecting to the vertical stroke. His age is still problematic, born (1870) 3 years after Martha Jane's death (1867). In this family the ages do not seem to wobble from one census to the next; they appear to know their age. Daniel (James?) may be the exception, if he was born at his mother's death, and transferred to a maiden great-aunt's care.

| R1 | * Various spellings of the Milhausen name are seen: Milliron, Muelheison... Hiram Milhausen and Ruth Anna Muelheison were likely related, possibly cousins. No link has been found, although both families lived in Butler County (John Milliron & daughter Ruth Anna & family in Connoquenessing Twp; Hiram & father Daniel in Muddy Creek Twp. Ruth Anna Muelheison married Jesse Wilson (brother of Martha Jane Wilson) and migrated to Scioto Co. Ohio; they are buried at Freeport OH in the Greenlawn Cemetery there. As Hiram has not been traced in Butler Co. after 1860, it is possible that he also migrated westward. There is a large Millirons gravestone at Greenlawn Cemetery, Portsmouth OH, and transcriptions on the Greenlawn Cemetery website for two Millirons women of a later era: (Section D) Millirons, Marie Sept 19, 1909 - ____; Nora F. April 15, 1889 - Aug 29, 1980. | |
| R2 | * According to the Vest, O'Roark etc. family tree on Ancestry.com, there is a David Muelheison, b. 1822,Butler Co. (no spouse listed), son of John Milliron & Elizabeth Buchle. He's a brother of Ruth Anna Muelheison, so not old enough to be the David living next to Hiram in 1860. No David was found in the generation of John Milliron, Ruth Anna's father. One generation older, a John David Muelheison b. 23 Feb 1778 in Westmoreland Co. PA, married Barbara Cribbs (b. ~1780 in Germany), children, if any, not listed. His parents were John Philip Muelheison (1755-1836) and Anna Maria Barbara Altman (1759-?). John David Muelheison was a first cousin of John Milliron, so of the right generation to be the father of Hiram Milhausen; John David appears to have been about 52 yrs older than Hiram. John David's father was John Philip Muelheison (1755-1836); John Milliron & John David's grandfather was John Jacob Muelheison (1730-1786, born in Germany & migrated to Westmoreland Co. PA) See "Vest, O'Roark, Shipley, Barker & Estes, Carroll, Blevins, Tackett"', owner "larryv27", at: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/71403/person/-2132149603 David Muelheison b.1822 | |
| R3 | * "Reproduction Map of Butler Co. 1858 Pennsylvania", by Violet Covert, pp 46-49, Connoquenessing Twp. index lists A. Millison and W. Millison. The survey map shows their properties near the northwest corner of the township, on Crab Run which flows into the Little Connoquenessing. Present day map indicates their land would have been just west of Rt. 528 on Harmony Rd. No Millison/Millron etc. are found in the Franklin Twp. index for the 1858 map. In Muddy Creek Twp. is found Daniel Milleron with property on the southern border of the township. This would have been about 2 miles northwest of the Millison properties in Connoquenissing Twp. The Vest, O'Roark etc. website lists Daniel Muelheison (1800-1872)as a brother of John Milliron whose daughter Ruth Anna married Jesse Wilson.
