On the 1800 census they were shown with two daughters and one son. We have never located the second daughter. I have the family history of Elizabeth and my ancestor William Simeon Millious but not of that daughter. No grave found either. If you are not familiar with Henry (Hank) Jones mammoth works, The Palatine Families of New York you might want to check them out. The Millious family was part of the Palatine settlement in Dutchess and Rennselaar counties. There were other Millious families as you have noted in the Onondaga area but I have never connected them all to mine. I have found them in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and many other states. Unfortunately for us they seem to people the earth. Early spellings were Melius,Milges,Miljes and later ones were Millis, Mellis, handwriting could appear as Million. Do you have Margaret's father's name? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
