Milford Van Houten

Milford Van Houten is Milhouse Van Houten's ancestor. It is implied that he married Eliza Simpson, even though he did write in his diary that he could never set eyes on Eliza again after betraying Virgil Simpson, the black slave. Ironically, Milhouse states that the next day Milford drank bad well water and became blind, so he married Eliza without setting eyes on her (probably not even knowing he was marrying Eliza) as he promised his diary.
