Hi Pat, My maternal MILLS family came from Massachusetts [MA], to Connecticut [CT], to Central New York [NY], and to Vermont [VT]. Sorry, I do not know of a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, [PA] connection. Happy searching, Jan Jordan in Vermont <ChekWriter@aol.com> Aug 21 2006 It would seem that some have picked up this family MILLS and made it part of the one of Philadelphia, with John, Thomas, Hur, etc, BATES, HARROLD, MILLIKEN/KAN families. <excerpt> But I have not seen anywhere all the years in my research that the John MILLS of Philadelphia or Chester Co. PA, was related in any way to the MILLS of Braintree, MA.

Hi John, Thank you for your prompt reply. John MILLS, father of Mary MILLS, was my maternal 11 great grandfather. Are you also related? I'd be happy to post my line down to myself. Carol is not related to the MILLS family.

This family link could be correct as it was about 2 generations prior to John Mills b. ca 1687/8 m1. Rebecca m2. Rebecca and d. 29 Jan 1687 Guilford Co., NC - we just need some valid references. Has anyone from the Mary Mills line completed the DNA test? To date, two tests show linage a DNA match to this John. Two others match the DNA but do not have the names and dates that link them to this John. I still question if this John was from Philadelphia as we do not have any valid references, only the saw story. The saw story may point to the wrong John Mills.? No one has ever documented any facts prior to Johns first five children.

John Jan and Carol It would seem that some have picked up this family MILLS and made it part of the one of Philadelphia, with John, Thomas, Hur, etc, BATES, HARROLD, MILLIKEN/KAN families. Along with the HAWES, HAWS, HAWKINS who married into the MILLS of Braintree. But I have not seen anywhere all the years in my research that the John MILLS of Philadelphia or Chester Co. PA, was related in any way to the MILLS of Braintree, MA. Does anyone out there in MILLS land, have any sources or references that does tie that family in to the one so represented on the _www.familytreedna.com_ (http://www.familytreedna.com) web site. MILLS came with the first ships of the Mayflower era. MILLS came along and settled in the James RIVER area of VA and MD. Listed in book about Plantations owners in VA and MD. MILLS came with along later little bit with the WINTHROP FLEET of the 1630's. MILLS came along later yet, with Wm. Penn's group, and landed in or near Delaware. Did these MILLS go to PA, and then with Indian and French, British fighting make them move over and back into MD, and down into NC and TN? And we have lots of MILLS in New Jersey, they were transplants from NY, CT, and ? Cape May Co, Somerset Co, Burlington Co, Union Co, Essex Co, Sussex Co. New Jersey. Thank you pat cw

Hi Susan: I did notice that on rootsweb.com there is a couple databases that have the birth and death information for Stephen and Hannah HYATT MILLS. They not necessarily have their parents, but some of the other databases do have Stephen's parents listed. If you have their marriage records, that gives you where they were living when they were married, and possibly can check early tax ratable's, and church records of their children, etc. to find more information too. Pat cw I can no longer do any active research as I cannot get out anymore. But do a lot on the internet, and from the various genealogy sites available. Hope that this may help out others too. also by linking up through all else fails, DNA testing is available to track our present day surnames. MILLS of George's descendants per present research, is posted on _www.familytreedna.com_ (http://www.familytreedna.com) under MILLS. Search: Mills click: MILLS click Link: go to bottom of page, click DNA results page. See category 600, is my brother's DNA results kit #33009, as George.

Thanks to Carol for this lookup below. Jan Jordan in VT <jnrose@webtv.net>   JOHN MILLS ORIGIN: Unknown MIGRATION: 1633 FIRST RESIDENCE: Richmond Island REMOVES: Scarborough EDUCATION: Witnessed deed by mark [ YLR 2:153]. ESTATE: On 12 February 1693/4 "John Mills now resident at Boston" deeded to "my natural brother James Mills now resident in the town of Sandwich ... fourscore acres of my upland & forty acres of salt marsh ... at a place called Black Point alias Scarborough ... & is part of that land & meadow ground or marsh which formerly did belong unto my honored father John Mills late of Scarborough now deceased" [ YLR 9:4-5]. BIRTH: By about 1610 (assuming he was a young servant when he made his early voyage to New England). DEATH: By 8 March 1664 (when "widow Mills" was name as an abutter to a piece of land on Black Point River [ YLR 2:23]). (If George Garland was consorting with the elder Sarah Mills [see COMMENTS below], then John Mills had died by 1662.) MARRIAGE: By about 1642 Sarah _____. CHILDREN:  i MARY, b. say 1642; m. Sandwich 16 July 1683 William Gifford of Sandwich [ NEHGR 128:247-50].  ii JOHN, b. say 1644; m. by 1686 Joanna (Alger) Oakman, daughter of ANDREW ALGER and widow of Elias Oakman.   iii JAMES, b. say 1646; d. at Sandwich between 14 October 1720 (date of will) and 9 February 1720/1 (date of inventory), single man [ NEHGR 128:249, citing BarnPR 3:607].   iv SARAH, b. say 1648; m. by about 1676 Joseph Winnock.   COMMENTS: On 8 September 1640 John Mills deposed that "he hath known the river which runs by Mr. Arthur Mackworthe's house called by the name of Casco River for some thirteen or fourteen years gone or thereabout" [ Trelawny Papers 231]. On 25 June 1641 John Mills deposed that "he came out of England with Mr. Winter some 8 years since or thereabout as his servant, and that Mr. Cleeve was then paling the field at Spurwinke" [ Trelawny Papers 266]. (We assume here Mills was present in New England in 1626-7 on a fishing or trading expedition, and that his residence did not begin until he came with JOHN WINTER in 1633.) On 2 July 1662 George Garland was presented for "frequenting Sarah Mills her house after warning given," and Sarah Mills was presented for "entertaining George Garland after sufficient warning given" [ MPCR 2:119]. On 7 November 1665 "George Garland & Sarah Mills" were indicted for "incontinency, living together without being lawfully married, and the said Garland being suspected of having a wife in England" [ MPCR 1:238], and on 1 October 1667 they were ordered to be married within one month [ MPCR 1:333-34]. These records are more likely for the widow of John Mills than for his daughter of the same name, as the unmarried daughter would be less likely to have a residence of her own.   Braintree 5 July 1678 [ BrVR 656]. MARRIAGE: By about 1622 Susanna _____; "Susanna Mills aged 80 years" died at Braintree on 10 December 1675 [ BrVR 640; NEHGR 37:169]. CHILDREN:  i SUSANNA, b. say 1622; m. by about 1642 William Dawes [ Dawes-Gates 1:11-18].   ii MARY, b. say 1625; m. by 1645 JAMES HAWKINS (eldest child b. Boston 3 February 1645[/6?] [ BVR 21]).      [Births recorded to James and Mary Hawkins: it is possible there were two couples by that name, though I'd think unlikely or they would have identified them with a middle initial or something.       Susan Dec 16 1645.       Peleg Jan 9 1648       James July 3 1652       James Mar 18 1653 [This is possible if the first one died]       Sarah Mar 18 1655       Will lists daughters as 5; Mary, Ruth, Damarus, Elizabeth and Sarah, in 1670.  Lists only James as son. 10 grandchildren] iii JOY (daughter), bp. Boston in October 1630 [ BChR 277]; no further record. (Although baptized together Joy and Recompense were not necessarily twins, and one or both of them may have been born in England, partially filling the gap between 1625 and 1630.)  iv RECOMPENSE (daughter), bp. Boston in October 1630 [ BChR 277]; no further record.  v JOHN, bp. Boston 3 June 1632 (corrected from 1631 [ BChR 278]); m. Braintree 26 April 1653 Elizabeth Shove [ BrVR 672, 715]. "John Mills senior the son of old John Mills who was sometimes the keeper of this book departed this life upon the 27th day of February 1694/5 aged 62" at Braintree [ BrVR 661 (cited incorrectly in Dawes-Gates 1:444)]. vi JONATHAN, bp. Boston 30 August 1635 [ BChR 279]; no further record. vii JAMES, bp. Boston 3 June 1638 [ BChR 283]; no further record.   COMMENTS: Ferris suggested Lavenham, Suffolk, as an origin for this family, for which there is no documentary evidence, but an origin in southwest Suffolk seems likely, as so many of the early Boston settlers were neighbors of Winthrop in England. The statement in his will that he came from a long line of ministers should assist in finding his English home. The request in his will that one of his grandsons be brought up to the ministry was partially fulfilled, as Edward Mills, son of the younger John, did graduate from Harvard in 1685, although he spent his life as a schoolteacher and not a minister [ Sibley 3:337-38]. An oddity in the records of this family is the failure of John Mills to appear in Boston town meeting records until 1639, even though he had been residing in the town for nine years with a growing family. BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: John Mills was treated by Mary Walton Ferris [ Dawes-Gates 441-44], but she went astray by combining the records of John Mills of Braintree with the records for a John Mills of Boston who did considerable trading with various merchants from the Canary Islands and died in 1651 [ SPR 1:62, 2:40]. It is his business recorded by Aspinwall and not that of John Mills of Braintree [ Aspinwall 127, 179, 180, 181, 400].   Sources were:  "Beginning The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633, Volumes I-III" [BVR] Boston Births, Baptisms, Marriages, and Deaths, 1630-1699, Ninth Report of the Boston Record Commissioners (Boston 1883=semi rpt. Baltimore 1978) [YLR] York Deeds, 18 volumes (Portland, Maine, 1887-1910) [Aspinwall] 'A Volume Relating to the Early History of Boston Containing the Aspinwall Notarial Records from 1644 to 1651,' in Reports of the Record Commissioners of the City of Boston< /I>, Volume 32 (Boston 1903)  [MPCR] Province and Court Records of Maine, 6 volumes (Portland 1928-1975=semi volumes 1-3 rpt. Newburyport, Massachusetts, 1991) [Trelawny Papers] The Trelawny Papers, James Phinney Baxter, ed., in Collections of the Maine Historical Society, 2nd Series, Volume 3 (Portland, Maine, 1884) [BarnPR] Barnstable County, Massachusetts, Probate Records [NEHGR] New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume 1 through present (1847 )  

Hi Robert: Yes, I do have a Stephen and Hannah. I also noted on Stephen's notes, that others have inquired about their family. Some of the dates are a little off but all the other information was the same, so it is just not everyone has accurate information from birth death and cemetery records, etc. I have that he was son of Andrew and Sarah MOREHOUSE MILLS. Does that agree with your references? Helen S Ullman has done quite extensive research on various members of the MILLS families, over time. She has said that not all the George MILLS descendants came to CT, some of their children did however. Yes, I would be interested in your information too. To see just where mine may be off in the wrong direction. Thank you so much. Pat cw

Just wanted to send the information I found on the 1930 Census, for Huntington Park, Los Angeles County, Calif. Enumberation Dist. 19 1323, April 3, 1930 Show the following Anita Mills, daughter, living with parents at 6729 Rita. She was 22 years not working. Her father is shown as Wallace F. Mills, a Lawyer in General Practice, 50 yrs. old Eleanor, the wife, 45 years old, working in a fashion shop, as a saleslady. He was from Wisconsin, his mother and father are shown from Wisconsin. Not having any idea what time frame you are talking about and age of Aaron, thought this could be a start.

Aaron was my late husband. We have 2 children together and I would like to still find his birthfamily. I do not have any new information. I do have a rumor that was passed as to why Aaron was put up for adoption. We were told that Anita's father was some bigwig in California and because his daughter was unwed and pregnant she was to go live with family in Washington state and have the child afterward giving him up for adoption. Please anyone with any information please contact me, Our children would appriciate information on their bloodline. Thank You

Dear Pat, I noticed your message in Roots Web.com dated 14 August 2006, that you made reference to having Mills Ancestors who resided in Westchester County, New York. My New York/Connecticut Hyatt Family line seems to indicate that a Hannah Hyatt born 31 August 1745, married a Stephen Mills on 29 December 1770. Do you have any knowledge of a Stephen Mills who was probably born sometime around 1750 in New England. I have a large study of the Hyatt Family of New England if that would in any way help with your family study. By best regards to you, Robert E. McKenna, Kingwood, Texas. robertmc@cebridge.net ----- Original Message ----- From: <ChekWriter@aol.com> To: <MILLS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 10:12 PM Subject: [MILLS] LUMLEY MILLS BROWN > These families are listed on RootsWeb.com. > > I have seen Jesse MILLS listed both ways.

I know birth states can get mixed since the census takers took the word of someone about birth state, etc. I'm going to check for my Wm Alexander's daughter Hixie's birth local as Akin, Illinois and Indiana. Thank you for your response and help. Judy K

I agree.
