Lucy Smith Millikin was the youngest child of Joseph Smith (1771-1840) and Lucy Mack (1775-1856), the only child born at Palmyra, New York. Her husband, Arthur Millikin, was a native of Maine, born 9 May 1817. He joined the Church in 1836 and participated in the Battle of Crooked River, in which he was severely wounded. The two were married by Joseph Smith (1805-1844) on 4 June 1840, in Nauvoo, Illinois. The Millikins spent much of their early married life caring for their aged mother, Lucy Mack Smith, and the latter expressed her appreciation for the tender care exhibited by this couple in her history. She joined the RLDS Church in 1873.
