MILLS FAMILY CONNECTIONS for Jeremiah (#1) & (#2) Mills and William (#1), (#2), & (#3) Mills vs. Elias Mills as father of Jeremiah (#1) Mills Two Records of Significant Importance: The deed records posted by Lori on the RootsWeb Message Board reflects the year of 1804 and 1816. http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.mills/5662/mb.ashx 1804 Deed Book "D" page 837, on 4 Feb 1804, William and Rebecca MILLS of Westfield Township, Essex County, NJ sold 2 3/4 acres and 3 square rods to Robert Woodruff for $125.00. The lot was 1/2 of Lot # 8 located on the north side of the second mountain in Bernards Township, Somerset County. The other 1/2 Lot was owned by Jeremiah MILLS. 1816 Deed Book "I" page 464, on 4 June 1816, John and Anna MILLS of Westfield Township, Essex County, NJ sold 2 3/4 acres and 3 square rods to Joseph Linns for $75.00. The wooded lot was located in Bernards Township, Somerset County. The lot was next to the lot of William MILLS. (Internet, RootsWeb Message Board, 14 Dec 2008: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.mills/5662/mb.ashx by Lori MacCormack) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Jeremiah Mills and William Mills to Joseph Line, Bill of Sale, Know all men by these presents that we Jeremiah Mills and William Mills, both of the Township of Westfield, County of Essex and State of New Jersey, Adms. to the estate of William Mills, dec., have for and in consideration of the sum of eighty-five pounds of good and lawful money of the State aforesaid, -to us in hand paid by Joseph Line of the same place aforesaid sold unto the said Joseph Line one negro boy about fourteen years old,--named Tom; which said negro boy we do bind ourselves to warrant and defend unto the sd. Joseph Line and to his heirs and assigns against the just and lawful claim and demand of all manner of persons whatsoever. In witness whereof we hereunto set our hands and seal this second day of May in the Year of Our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five. Sealed and delivered in the presence of John Miller, Charles Clark, Jeremiah x (his mark) Mills, William Mills. (Source: Tim AYERS: Book: Scotch Plains, "The Story of an Old Community," by Reignette Marsh, page 46) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ William (#1) Mills (wf/Amy ???) died 1795 Essex Co., NJ. His estate of 1795 in Essex Co., NJ was administered by Jeremiah (#1) Mills and William (#2) Mills and they sold Tom (their negro slave) to Joseph Line. (See record administration record above.) Then with the deed information of 1816 posted by Lori (given above), we find that land in Somerset Co., NJ was sold to Joseph Linn (probably clerk error in spelling or error in transcription for Line). It is my opinion that Joseph Line and Joseph Linn are probably one and same person. It is my belief that John Mills (wf, Anna Denman) was s/o Jeremiah (#1) Mills and Elizabeth Marsh. Secondly, so many researchers on WorldConnect have named Jeremiah (#1) Mills (wf, Elizabeth Marsh) as s/o Elias Mills Sr. It is my belief that this is erroneous, as none of the researchers have shown sources or references that brought them to this conclusion. In my 40 years of research I have never found Elias Mills of the town of Westfield, NJ connected with William Mills (#1), (#2) or (#3) of Westfield Township, Essex Co. (now Union Co.), NJ in other than a cousinly relationship. Their names show up on tax rateables and petitions as freeholders, but nothing more to connect Elias as father of Jeremiah (#1) Mills. However, all evidence and research done by Helen Schatvet Ullmann, CG, points to the fact that William (#1) Mills was s/o Samuel Mills and (2) Mary ???, of Elizabethtown, Essex Co. (now Union Co.), NJ. Her same research points to the fact that Elias Mills was s/o Joseph Mills, brother of Samuel Mills. This means that William (#1) and Elias were first cousins, and that Jeremiah (#1) would have been a 1st cousin once removed. It is my belief that Jeremiah (#1) Mills and William (#2) Mills were brothers although nothing has yet been found to substantiate this theory except for preponderance of evidence based upon these facts and these records that bring them together as probable sons of William Mills (abt. 1722-1795) and wife, Amy [maiden name unknown], and thus brothers. The information below appears to connect Jeremiah much more closely to the fact that he is s/o William (#1) Mills and wife, Amy, than to Jeremiah (#1) being a son of Elias, as so many seem to indicate. 1. Jeremiah (#1) Mills and William (#2) Mills were administers of the estate of William Mills (#1). (Essex Co., NJ Records, 1795) 2. Jeremiah (#1) Mills and William (#2) Mills were adjacent owners of land in Somerset Co., NJ. It is my belief that Jeremiah (#1) and William (#2) are brothers and their ownership of adjacent equal lots in Somerset Co., NJ in 1804 indicates this probable relationship. (Somerset Co., NJ Deeds, 1804) 3. Jeremiah (#1) Mills and William (#2) Mills names along with William's wife (Rebecca) and his mother ("Amy Mills") are found in the records of Scotch Plains Baptist Church in Union Co., NJ. Also, found buried in this church cemetery is their sister, Elizabeth (Mills) Roll, wf/o Jacob Roll, dau/o William (#1) and Amy. 4. Jeremiah (#2) Mills (1769 NJ-1860 Warren Co., Ohio) married 1798 in the Scotch Plains Baptist Church to Abigail Bryant. Jeremiah (#2) Mills was s/o Jeremiah (#1)Mills and Elizabeth Marsh. 5. William W. (#3) Mills (1790 NJ-1873 Shelby Co., Ohio) married 1810 in the Scotch Plains Baptist Church to Elizabeth Clark. William W. (#3) Mills was s/o William(#2) Mills and Rebecca. William W. (#3) Mills paid taxes in Warren Co., OH in 1810, but did not move there until 1822. (Warren Co., OH Tax Records) 6. Jeremiah (#2) Mills and wife, (1) Abigail Bryant, left NJ for Warren Co., Ohio; sometime later (1820) William W. (#3) Mills also left NJ to join Jeremiah (#2) Mills in Warren Co., OH. Here both lived for about 3 years before William W. (#3) Mills was able to purchase land 1823 in Shelby County, Ohio. At this time they apparently went their separate ways. (Sutton's 1883 Edition of History of Shelby County, Ohio: Cynthian Twp.: William Mills) 7. Jeremiah (#2) Mills died in Warren Co., OH. (Gravestone indicates he was from Essex Co., NJ.) He was in Hamilton Co., OH 1802; in Montgomery Co., OH in 1810; and 1818 in Warren Co., OH. 8. Family research for my ancestor, William W. Mills, indicates he, too, was in Montgomery Co., OH; Hamilton Co., OH; Warren Co., OH; and lived most of his life in Shelby Co., OH, before dying in Miami Co., OH. Also one needs to take into consideration that Montgomery Co., OH and Warren Co., OH were parts of Hamilton Co., OH at one time; that Miami Co., OH was part of Montgomery Co., OH at one time; and that Shelby Co., OH was part of Miami Co., at one time. ********************************************* I am certainly open to others' research that would prove my conclusion to be wrong, but the records I have at this time, appear to validate my theory of Jeremiah's (#1) Mills father was William (#1) Mills rather than other's who give no sources or reason for declaring him as s/o Elias Mills.

Hi Lori Right we are of the George B: ca 1585/1605 of Jamaica, LI NY USA, from ? Yorkshire England. so the many other researchers and ancestral file gleanings on the LDS web site. >From DNA testing, Samuel, George, John, Lewis, Abraham, William all match on the DNA web site. _www.familytreedna.com_ (http://www.familytreedna.com) under MILLS. category 600 and 600a. My and Barbara's family MILLS are of George Washington MILLS B: 1857 Montgomery Co. OH married Grace E GREEN B: 1884 AR, Their sons, Paul Elias and David Ogden being brothers. his father Elias MILLS - Julia Ann HEFFNER his father Jonathan MILLS - Phebe REEDER his father Richard MILLS - 1. Martha BARHAM 2. Catherine MORGAN his father Elias MILLS Jr - Chloe STITES His father Elias MILLS Sr - Martha STILES his father Joseph MILLS - Sarah of Westfield, Essex Co. NJ USA. >From Helen S ULLMAN's book published 2002 for a client of the NEGHS, Says that Samuel MILLS gave land to Joseph is son in Elizabeth town, Essex Co. NJ. page 83 of her book. So that ties our family line in to her book and that of the George MILLS of Jamaica, LI NY, USA and formerly of ? Yorkshire England. For George depends on which data base you may find, and or other gene sites, has him from Devon and Dorset as well. I have joined genesreunited.com which is a n England based gene site. But so far no hits on George as yet. In my inept and bumbling stumbling way have tripped over the Abraham was brother to an Elizabeth MILLS dau of John of PA, and sister to Seela, Issac, John. 1. John MILLS - Rebecca SMITH family of Sussex Co. NJ USA had son (Removed from NJ to Grimsby, ON CAN ca 1793/94). 2. John MILLS - Permelia SEELEY/SEELY had son 3. Seela MILLS - Elizabeth COLLARD. and 3 other infant children not named. But probablty had more children and possibly more wives with more children, thus ELizabeth B: ca 1800 PA. Elizabeth MILLS above noted married Job SLAGHT Jr. son of Job SLAGHT and ELizabeth JOHNSON. Elizabeth was his second wife. These information from Portrait and Biographical Album of Northern Michigan, page 257, spotlights that of their son Silas SLAGHT. Kind of puts that family together. Thus links too the MILLS - SLAGHT - JOHNSON** - SUTTON - MARTIN - BISHOP - TYLER families of New Jersey as well. 1. John MILLS - Rebecca SMITH had dau 2. Rachel MILLS who married Robert GRAHAM of PA, listed as son of Andrew GRAHAM. as well as several other of John's children in PA with related other allied families. So that does put those MILLS families in PA at one time. Lewis MILLS - Emeline HAMILTON have yet to find parents. John MILLS - Rebecca SMITH still not yet concrete parents for him either. Possible parents are many from the webiste MILLS ANCESTRY done by a Micheal MILLS of Hines, VT> at some time in the past. MILLS ANCESTRY found on geocities.com web site. Still seeking his parents from one and all out there in MILLS LAND. ** JOHNSON - MORGAN - COMPTON - MILLS links. William F JOHNSON son of Joseph JOHNSON and Eve STOKER married Eliza MILLS dau of Jonathan MILLS - Phebe REEDER above noted Montgomery Co OH USA above noted. Eliza was his 3rd wife. Joseph and Eve also had son Daniel who married Margaret MORGAN dau of Samuel MORGAN and Martha COMPTON per Comptonology genealogy web site information. So am also wondering if Samuel MORGAN family might be related to Catherine MORGAN who married Richard MILLS above noted, father to Jonathan MILLS, my line of MILLS. sorry if I am beating a dead horse on this tac. Just trying to be concise as my poor little grey cells let me. Cous Pat In a message dated 12/13/2008 10:05:16 P.M.

Just Curious. No one seems to have family for this couple?? Does any one out there in "MILLS LAND"??? And is she the same Phalby WILLIAMS who married a Lavender MILLS??? I have a copy of the 1840 Census for Rutherford Co. NC, and all 3 seem to be on there. That is, Ambrose, Sr, Jr and a Lav, at least that is what it looks to be. Again, Just curious. Thank you. Pat cw Also noted that John son of Ambrose and Miss BROWN has a wife named Phalby as well as a wife named HONOR. I do not know if HONOR is given or surname. **************Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place. Try it now.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: ChekWriter Surnames: MILLS Jennings Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.mills/2079.2144/mb.ashx Message Board Post: In all the postings on this family MILLS line, says that Susanna married JENNINGS. However, one has put that she was born 1754 and married in 1763. I really DO NOT believe that she was 9 yrs old when she got married??? I do not recall receiving a reply to my post em that I had posted earlier this year on one of the many data bases that has this family listed. Now with DNA testing, I wonder if any one knows of a present day male MILLS descendant of this line, who might like to join the MILLS DNA Project, www.familytreedna.com under MILLS. Does help to sort us all out of the Greater MILLS Tree from which we are fell. Patricia cw Possibly the dates are typos?? or?

Read where one party had mentioned that the origin of the name was actually from the Bible. that of Job verse 14 Chapter 42, of the Old Testament. Says he had 7 sons and 3 daughters. 1. Jemimah. - Okay - Lots of MILLS girls named same. 2. Keziah - Okay - Lots of MILLS girls and their descendants named same. 3. Keren-happuch Okay - Lot of folk with this name, both as a given name, as well as some listed with it as a surname. However, the name seems to have been jostled about and the spelling changed: Keren to Karen Happuch to Happuck. And or altogether as Karenhappuck. Did a Goggle search, not much came up bibically, but went to Wikipedia, and there was much about the organization "Job's Daughters'" created about 1920 by a nice lady. A spin off organization as well from Eastern Star and Job's Daughters were that of "Rainbow Girl's" of which I was once a member. Sadly, it was short lived as their activities and my work schedule precluded me from regular attendance. So had to give up my post as "HOPE" to another good friend and member. At least now I know the origin of KAREN HAPPUCK, in that it is not of Native American origins, but of the Old Testament of the Bible. I surmise that the early Jesuit Fathers and priests who came early on to the New World, spreading the word of GOD among the uncivilized gave the name to many of the Native American daughters and mothers of the tribe to replace their "perceived" uncivilized ones. What a turn around that must have been. Running Rabbit of the Deep Water, to Karenhappuck and just Karen, maybe. Or From Stands With A Fist to just Happy. as an example, DO NOT KNOW. Again, Genealogy is teaching more history than I ever can remember now. cw **************Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place. Try it now.
