Etymology of MilmonWhat does the name Milmon mean? The Anglo-Saxon name Milmon comes from when its first bearer worked as a person who worked at a mill. The surname Milmon is derived from the Old English word mylen, which means mill, and the occupational suffix -man, which denotes one who operates a mill. 1 2 Early Origins of the Milmon familyThe surname Milmon was first found in Essex where Robert Melneman was registered at Colchester in 1373. Later, in Surrey, William Melman was listed in 1447 and much later, John Myllman was registered in Devon in 1642. 3 Early History of the Milmon familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Milmon research.

Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies.
