The Thomas Millard House is on Main Street in Essex. Millard carved ship’s figureheads and built several houses, including his own in 1803. In 1814, the house was sold to George Jewett, a lawyer and town clerk, who commanded the Potapoug Militia during the 1814 British raid on Essex.

    This Thomas Millard lived much earlier than the Civil War, so most likely not!

    I don’t know his dates, but maybe someone at the Essex Historical Society or the town library could help you?
