Hi Frances Thanks for the response. Jason is a highly thought of name (:-)) The initials of July-Nov. Mills in Ireland resulted from Elizabeth II plantation of Ireland. The old stage coach road from Drogheada on the east coast to Enniskillen in Co Fermanagh passed near my fathers little farm. Today the highest concentration of Mills is North/west of Co Monaghan in Co Down. I am about the 4th Jason, to my knowledge in my family. My uncle Jason was KIA in WW1. He lived through most of the battles of the Somme mostly as a Machine Gunner. How typical of the Irish. (Ireland was under British rule in these years) I keep meaning to add to his record in the CWGC. Regards Jason Mills

I find the Irish line interesting too. My ggrandmother was from Scotland but my dad would always insist that we were not scotch irish..but Irish Scot. I don't know anymore than that. Expect that I have just discovered where Dad's grandmother was born. Scotland. -------------- Original message -------------- From: LuvKUHawks@aol.com > Hi, Jason - > That is very interesting.

There is a Cullen W MILLS, Sweetwater, TX. Is that any where near your Cullen A as listed being age 3 on your query? You might check out those MILLS in TX with CULLEN associated with MILLS on a search on rootsweb.com and any other genealogy site of your choice. Hope this may be of some help to you. Pat cw

Hi Audrey and Helen and Interested Others, too No, the John MILLS of which the READING family history is speaking is in the time frame before William MILLS and Mary READING got married. It is 1703. William and Mary READING MILLS were married, it says, WFT est 1753-1771. On one of the researchers list for their children, the first one is born about WFT Est 1756-1771. Mary READING is listed as being born about 1736. William, her husband is listed as being born about 1738/1739. So the John MILLS as referenced would be the generation before them. So WHO is this John MILLS and what family is he associated with? We do know from the information posted onto John MILLS - Rebecca SMITH family pages by Richard DILTS, that a John MILLS signed an agreement dated 1697 to purchase some acreage from the West Jersey Society on June 10, 1697. Is this that John MILLS. It referenced on those copies of the pages 619-620 as being from Fairfield. It did not say, CT or NY. Was that part of Fairfield, in NY at that time frame, or was it in NY. Any insight appreciated. It is said on the MILLS SMITH family page that John was born in Sussex Co. NJ. There is another web site, with small blurbs about the land, and that it was later part of Sussex. Have I solved the mystery as to MILLS - SMITH parents? Or???? Pat cw

Hi, Jason - That is very interesting. I do not know if the Mills in the family are from England, Ireland, Scotland or where. The brick wall ends with Henry and Alexander. That is interesting, though to learn that Mills is not unusual in Ireland, and that Alexander, Frank and Francis are common. By the way, I have a son Jason. Frances

Hi Frances I have lots of Mills in Co Monaghan, Ireland. The name Alexander crops up often but the nearest I can get is an Alexander b. 1834. Francis or Frank is also common. Jason Mills

Who is this Alfred Elmer MILLS? Mills, Alfred Elmer (1858-1929) and who is this John Mills mentioned on this webpage? http://www.jerseyhistory.org/findingaid.php?aid=0249 Audrey

Note John Mills mentioned in this story: http://www.shawhan.com/Reading.htm "William Biddle and John Mills to purchase the great tract of 150,000 acres between the Raritan and Delaware. Col. Reading removed from Gloucester County to the part of Burlington Co. which later became Amwell Township, Hunterton Co. His first purchase of lands there was in 1704." Who is this John Mills? Col. John Reading's granddaughter married Rev. William Mills. Audrey

OOPS...the John Mills being spoken of does not appear to be John Reading Mills who wasn't born until 1765...perhaps an uncle.

I believe I read somewhere that his grandfather was John READING, also a surveyor...but I can't recall where. 6. Brother, Isaac Mills, is said to have been a squatter in the Miami Valley in those early days, and established the town of Elizabethtown, Hamilton Co., OH which is stated that he named for his wife, Elizabeth Dunn, in history books. 7.

I had researched this family at first thinking they were my ancestral grandparents and family connections, since my William Mills (which I learned later) was a contemporary of Rev. William Mills. Many of the same children's names also ran in the known family of my William Mills (wife, Amy). Information about Rev. William Mills comes basically from my own research which I sent to Helen a number of years ago. She was able to help me with the connecting ancestors and the relationship between the two William Mills based upon her research.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_John_Reading John Reading was the first native-born governor of New Jersey, serving in 1747, and again from September 1757 to June 1758. His father Colonel John Reading was the first white major landowner in Hunterdon County. Governor Reading was one of the founders and trustees of the College of New Jersey, which became Princeton University. The above information may help.

Frank E. Mills is listed in the 1900 census for 2-Pct, Hill County, TX. He is age 40, born in IL, his father born in Canada Eng, his mother in NY. Also living with him are his wife (name I cannot read), children Roy R. - age 12; Charlie - Age 4; and Cullen A. - age 3. The final person listed is Frank's father, Alexander J. Mills, age 69, born Feb 1831, born in Canada Eng, father born in Canada Eng, mother born in Ireland. I am wondering if anyone knows of any of these Mills, including what happened to them after this census. I am particularly wondering if this could be the Alexander J. Mills who was probably born in VT, lived in Canada as an infant until his late teen/early 20 years, went to NY, married Olive Clarinda Parsons, in St. Lawrence County, NY. In 1860 that Alexander J. Mills was in the Milton, DuPage County, IL census, served in the Civil War, and was in Neosho County, KS, in the 1870 census. He married Anne Jennie Call (seemed to go by Jennie in the census) in about 1870 in Neosho County, KS; she later divorced him in the 1870s in Ouray County, Colorado, and she remarried Albert Paff. She is listed in the 1880 census with husband Albert and his step-children, Mandie Mills - age 9 and Katie Mills - age 6. I would deeply appreciate any further information on any or all of these folks. My ultimate goal is to discover the parents of Alexander J. Mills and his brother, Henry, who is my gggrandfather. Thank you very much. Frances
