This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Mills, Prewett Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jE1.2ACEB/3597 Message Board Post: I am looking for anyone with information on Walter Mills who moved from Carroll County Tennessee to Oregon County Missouri with his wife Nancy and the following children: Henderson, Mary E, John H, George P, Eli, Martha, Robert, Amanda and Sarah. I've read on this website that Walter married a Nancy Prewett in Carroll County Tennessee in 1849, but I don't have that documentation. In the 1850 & 1860 census Walter lists himself as being born in North Carolina. I am descended from Walter's son Henderson and I have gathered census and marriage information on most of Walter's children & grandchildren. Several of them migrated to Clarksville, Texas and then on to Caddo, Oklahoma. However, I have been unable to determine Walter's origins. I did find a Mills family who lived in the adjacent county of Madison during the 1850 census. The following people were on the same page: George W Mills with wife Mary and children, Vina (18), Washington (17), Minerva (12), Jane(9), Amanda(4) & Marion(3). In a separate household is James Mills with wife Christiana and children Thomas (26) and Jane (21). All of these people were born in North Carolina except for the children starting with Minerva, so this family did not come to Tennessee until at least 1834. I'm wondering if they are related to my Walter. If any of this sounds familiar to anyone, please feel free to contact me. Thank You.

Good afternoon all, In going through some old Mills files, I have found a piece put together by Allen Mills which is entitled "The History of the Mills Family, taken from the Mills History written by Fritz Haskell of Winchester, Illinois" and others. This starts with Generation Number One: 1. THOMAS MILLS, born in England, died in Boston, Mass. He married UNKNOWN in England. They are both buried in Mass. Child of THOMAS MILLS and UNKNOWN: WILLIAM MILLS, born abt. 1730, Mass. Generation Number Two: 2. WILLIAM MILLS, born abt. 1730, Died in Mass. Married UNKNOWN in Mass. Child of WILLIAM MILLS and UNKNOWN: JAMES MILLS, SR., born between 1770-1789, Boston, Mass., Died 7 Sept. 1832, Exiter, Scott County, Illinois. Generation Number Three 3 . JAMES MILLS, SR., Born between 1770-1780 in Boston, Mass. Died 7 Sept 1832, Exiter, Scott County, Illinois. 1st wife unknown (divorced) 2nd wife: Mary E. Derick, (Daughter of Ephraim Derick and Elizabeth Gustin) She was born 23 May 1787, in Clairemont, NH or Bethel, VT, and died in Jo DavIess Co. Illinois. Children of JAMES, SR and 1st UNKNOWN are: 1. James Mills, Jr., born 4 Mar 1798, Mass. 2. Alford (Alfred) Mills, born 11 June 1802, Mass. Children of James Sr. and Mary Derick: 3. Adaline L. Mills, born 18 Nov 1810, Batavia, Genesee Co. NY. 4. ALONZO DERICK MILLS, born 8 Dec 1812, Batavia, Genesee Co. NY. 5. Paulina E. Mills, born 6 June 1817, Batavia, Genesee Co. NY. 6. Ann Eliza Mills, born 18 Mar 1829, Morgan Co., Illinois. 7. Lafayette Mills, born 8 Jan 1828, Morgan Co., Illinois. It finally gets to my Alonzo Derick Mills. OK, now the $64 dollar question. Does this line belong to anyone and which DNA is it? Many thanks........... Don

Curious to know, was there any other information attached to it? Was it from that area? Why would it have been in the newspaper office? Very strange. An article about the stone should also be put in the local paper, in case there might still be family in that area. Pat cw

I meant to say, I lost the i.d. address. sorry. I type faster than I think, or maybe it is vice versa. pat cw

On a list for South something, Suffolk Co. NY, it shows an Isaac MILLS, Sr. and an Isaac MILLS, Jr. It was a referral to their site, and now I have the i.d. information. Says people in that county AD 1698. Can any one tell me about these 2 men? I would like to know who these men are, and what happened to them. I cannot seem to identify any Isaac MILLS on my files. Jr or Sr in that time frame. thank you pat cw

Lots of questions in that Digest. First, it was not terribly unusual for English and sometimes colonial families to give the same given name to two children in the same family. I have one where there is Giles the eldest and Giles the younger. David Greene mentions this custom in his editorial in the January 2006 issue of The American Genealogist, which just arrived in my mailbox today. (Yes, it's still way behind schedule.) Note 44 on p. 77 of my book, A Mills and Kendall Family History, provides references to two articles by Matthew Wood that contain lots of information on Martha Wood and her family. New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, 120 (1989), p. 9 and surrounding pages, 132 (2001):37-45. They are the basis for my conclusion that Jonathan 2 Mills married Martha Wood, not Martha Halstead. Audrey, look back at the book. Pat's line agrees with what I have (except it goes farther). Richard and James alias Richard were sons of Samuel and an unknown wife, not son of Joseph. Richard and Joseph were brothers. I didn't follow who was supposed to be the son of Sarah Denton, but in spite of what's out there all over the Internet, she was NOT the wife of Samuel Mills of Elizabethtown. She was the wife of Samuel Mills of Greenwich. He in turn was son of Samuel 2 and grandson of George 1 of Jamaica. See my very detailed article on Samuel of Greenwich: “Samuel3 Mills, Sadler, of Jamaica, New York, and Greenwich, Connecticut,” New England Historical and Genealogical Register 156 (April 2002):112-20. Anyone can get a copies of those articles from the Allen County Public Library if it's not available near you. See http://www.acpl.lib.in.us/genealogy/persi.html If you're not aware of it, I have a small file on this family at WorldConnect: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hsullmann2&id=I430 Helen Ullmann

Hello, Pat, and interested others: It appears according to Helen's research you (Pat) and she (Helen) are in conflict as to your descendancy from George. You give: George, Samuel, Samuel, Joseph, Elias, Elias, Richard, Jonathan, Elias, George Washington, Paul Elias. It appears that Helen is seeing the first two generations in a different perspective: George Mills & Rebecca [--?--] Jonathan Mills (b abt. 1673 & Martha Wood Joseph Mills (born by 1705) Elias Mills According to Helen, it looks like my William Mills I would be first cousin to your Elias, if your Joseph Mills and my Samuel Mills (according to Helen b abt. 1673) were brothers. I don't know if increasing DNA markers would show a clearer picture of relationship or not, but perhaps. I would appreciate your thoughts Helen and your's Pat.

Don and John I have posted a note that on 1 3 06, you discussed the possibility of William of MA and Thomas 1710 of London, ENG, might be for James Sr. as parent and grand parents? Did it come to light that these 2 men were not related to your James, Sr.? Maybe a missed a few emails after that date. Pat cw

Is there more information available somewhere on Martha Wood? Do we know anything about her parents, siblings, ancestors? Audrey -----Original Message----- From: Helen S.

Helen, What is your thinking as to why Samuel Mills (d 1744) would have a son Richard Mills (b by 1708) and then have a son, James Mills who also was called Richard, Jr. (alias James)? Is the only reference to his being called Richard, Jr. (alias James) in his father's will as far as you know? Your other information on Richard Jr. (alias James) (p. 21) appears to refer to him only as James and not Richard, Jr. Any clues to the name mystery? Audrey -----Original Message----- From: Helen S.

Hello, Helen, and Interested Others, I have your book and have done some research in Elizabethtown and Westfield, NJ, but I did not have time to do the indepth research as you, but had uncovered some of the same information as you know through our various correspondence through the years. Pat (cw) via her MILLS relative and I via a related Mills cousin along with others listed on the MILLS DNA Project Webpage at http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~crrking/mills/mills_dnar.htm are apparently from the line of George Mills as indicated in your book. My relative is #59705 with the posting of William MILLS b 1790 New Jersey. http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~crrking/mills/mills_dnap.htm#600 From my research, William Mills (1790-1873) is William W. (believed Wynant) Mills (s/o William Mills II [b ca 1752] and Rebecca [--?--]. William W. Mills married at Scotch Plains Baptist Church, Scotch Plains, Union Co., NJ to Elizabeth "Betsey" Clark. (Church Marriage Record) Members of this church in found records show Amy (who I believe was Wm. W.'s grandmother) and Jeremiah Mills. William W. Mills emigrated to Hamilton Co., OH, then Warren Co., OH, perhaps Montgomery Co., OH, and settled in Shelby Co., OH. (Redistricting and naming of new counties in this time period come into play.) Montgomery Co., OH was split and Miami Co. was formed from it. Miami Co., OH was split to form Shelby Co. So, he could have started out in what was originally Montgomery Co. and ended up as Shelby Co., OH. Much later he remarried and lived and died in Miami Co., OH I believe Amy was the wife of William Mills I (1723-1795). I have an leaning toward the maiden name of ELMER for Amy, but have been unable to prove it. There was a Dr. Philemon ELMER in Westfield, NJ, and a SON and grandsons of William I and Amy carry the given name of Philemon Elmer Mills in at least 3 generations, and at least another who was named Philemon (also known later as Philip) ROLL/RALL. I do not know how Jeremiah connects. However, Jeremiah and William Mills II were administrators of the estate of William Mills I. And, Jeremiah Mills (Sr.) (abt. 1746-1824) had a son Jeremiah Mills (Jr.) who also married at the Scotch Plains Baptist Church to Abigail Bryant, and they moved to near Lebanon, Warren County, OH, where it is found that Wm. W. Mills resided for a brief time. The records of Wm. W. Mills indicated he was from Westfield Twp., Union Co., NJ; married at Scotch Plains; removed to Indian Hills at Hamilton Co., OH; resided in Warren Co., OH (next to Hamilton Co.); then to Montgomery Co. to Shelby Co., and finally to Miami Co. where he died. I believe the descendancy for my MILLS and DNA participant's MILLS to be this, based upon your book's information: George Mills & Rebecca [--?--] as indicated on your p. 14. Jonathan Mills & Martha Wood as indicated on your p. 14. Samuel Mills & (1) [--?--] [--?--] as indicated on your p. 18. Samuel Mills & #2 Mary as indicated on your p. 18. William Mills I William Mills II William W. Mills Dennis C. Mills Marcus Mills.............brother of my ancestor, Augustus Mills James Dennis Mills (ancestor of #59705)....cousin of my maternal gm, Mary C. (Mills) Lehmann It thus appears that Richard Mills (under discussion) [wife, Sarah] was the one born by 1708, and was the brother of my Samuel Mills (#2 wife, Mary) and Joseph Mills (cc: Pat's ancestor). They were thus the sons of Samuel and unknown first wife. Hopefully, I am seeing the connections correctly. Audrey (Shields) Hancock Rita (Lehmann) Shields Mary C.

What I don't know is who Richard's parents, etc. were. Can you direct me to the Mills DNA page?

James Benjamin Mills was born ca1880 and died in 1950 in Witchita Co Texas. He married Nettie Moore. They were my father-in-laws grandparents on his mother's side. I am trying to put together something for him. He is 82. I while back someone emailed me some info on the the parents of James Benjamin Mills but I have misplaced it. Thanks, Robin
