Arlen and others, Mary Levy Milligan was the daughter of Judge John Jones Milligan (1795-1875), who was born on Bohemia Manor. Her grandfather was Robert Milligan of Bohemia Manor. Mary's mother was Martha Levy (1798-1889), who was the daughter of Judge Moses Levy of Philadelphia and Mary Pearce (b. 1762 Cecil County). Mary Pearce was daughter of Henry Ward Pearce Sr. and Anastasie Carroll. =========================== John Jones Milligan was b. 10 Dec 1795 at his father's residence, Bohemia Manor, Cecil Co., MD. He attended the old academy in Wilmington and later St. Mary's College in Baltimore, and still later Princeton College, grad.1814. John studied law in the office of his brother-in-law, the Hon. Louis McLane, and was admitted to the bar in New Castle Co. in Dec 1818.He was unable to practice law immediately due to a breakdown in his health. Elected to Congress in 1832, served 3 terms, and after that he served as Assoc. Judge of the Superior Court for the county, where he served for 25 years. He retired to Philadelphia where he died 20 April 1875. [Bill & Martha Reamy, Genealogical Abstracts from Biographical and Genealogical History of the State of Delaware (Westminster: Family Line Publications, 1998.), page 425.] =========================== The name, Bohemia, which appears frequently in Cecil County, is associated with Augustine Hermen who came to this country from Bohemia which then became Czechoslovakia. His holdings included the land on which the house "Bohemia" now stands. Bohemia, on the State Road before crossing the Bohemia River, stands on a slight eminence by the south shore of the Bohemia River, opposite the junction of its two branches. The original grant was made in 1695 to Hugh McGregory of Cecil County. His son, Joseph, sold the land, then called "McGregory's Delight", in 1740, to Colonel John Baldwin. According to the approximate date of 1745, set as a building time, the present house was erected by this gentleman. He deeded it to his daughter, Catherine, who married George Milligan, of Chestertown, and for many years it was known as Milligan Hall. http://www.bcpl.net/~ellen/bohemia.html Any corrections and additions are always welcome!
