Hi, Carole and Deborah, Margaret Thompson nor I know who this Elizabeth Mills is. Elizabeth Mills wife of Thomas Mills and mother of Stephen, Hannah, et. al., died in 1797. [As a side note: there is an unidentified Thomas Mills b. no later than 1774 on the 1820 Screven Co census. I've been asking about that one for a while.] Could this Elizabeth Mills on the 1827 lottery possibly be Archibald's widow Elizabeth Bonnell Mills? Was he certified as a RS? I know he took the oath after the war along with his brother Stephen; haven't ever seen Archibald's name in reference to the Revolution or on any certified list, though. Is it possible that SHE is the Elizabeth Mills on the 1782 Petition in Effingham Co, calling for aid at the end of the British occupation? Could she have had seven children by 1782 (as given below)? She would then have been eligible for pension as a Refugee Citizen. If so, she may also be listed in Georgia Revolutionary Bounty Land Records 1783-1785. (I don't have a record of her in that book, but that doesn't mean anything; I may have overlooked her because I was searching for other surnames at the time.) Georgia Petitions 1778-1782. Compiled by John D. Stemmons. 2004: Sandy, Utah, Census Publishing, LC, NSDAR Library, Washington, DC. Copy on file Sharon Dean Lee. p. 19 Mills, Elizabeth, Effingham County,-- Listed on a petition, 21 May 1782, to the Governor & Brigr General Wayne from persons of Effingham County expressing their distress. During the past 4-6 weeks they have had only 'one Bushel of Corn of bread kind amongst a number of Persons who has large families of Children' (they provide a list of the head of household and number in each family). They also list some poor widows and the number in their family who have 'Destinguished themselves from those we call tories'. They suggest referring to Captn. Lett who has been among them for further particulars.-Telamon Cuyler Collection, Manuscript #1170, [Hargrett Library, University of Georgia], Box 38F, folder 14, pg. 2. Mills, Elizabeth, Female,--'has 7 in family' SDL -----Original Message----- From: gascreve-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:gascreve-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Deborah Byrd Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2008 10:26 AM To: gaburke@rootsweb.com; gascreve@rootsweb.com Cc: springer@homexpressway.net Subject: [GASCREVE] Fwd: Mills Family of Burke County GA I have recieved a request for help to identify the husband of Elizabeth Mills.
