Cyrus Samuel Aikin, a son of Robert and Esther [n�e Gaston] Aikin, was born in
the bounds of Chester County, South Carolina in 1806. Around 1817, his family
emigrated to the area around Huntsville, Alabama. Here Cyrus and his older
brother, William started a business, manufacturing cotton gins, called W.A. &
C.S. Aikins Company.
On April 3rd 1833, Cyrus married Miss Mildred Spicer Noble, a daughter of George
and Elizabeth [n�e Spicer] Noble and sister of his brother William's wife,
Elizabeth. Milly, as Mildred was known grew-up near Huntsville in Madison
County, Alabama. No known children were born to this union.
In 1836, Cyrus S. Aikin opened an independent firm with other partners in
Columbus (MS), at the eastern border of Mississippi, responding to the westward
movement. Cyrus Aikin was a manufacturer, a merchant and land spectacular. He
moved frequently... living in Huntsville, Columbus, Mississippi and finally in

was nearly bankrupt. When his remains were returned to his wife back in
