I should have mentioned with my first posting, these Mills names are from passenger lists of the LDS between 1840 and 1882. If anyone needs another name you can ask, however, I don't know how the list administer would react to names not Mills. My experience shows many start to foam from the mouth and use very harsh verbiage, such as black list and reporting me to my mother.

Clark Date of Arrival: 22 Oct 1849 Port of Arrival: New Orleans, Louisiana Extracted from the Letter of Thomas H. Clark - October 22, 1849 concerning the trip on the James Pennell. We were just seven weeks crossing, and our passage was more like a pleasure trip than a sea voyage. P.S. The ship "Berlin," arrived the same day, and has lost forty-three of the passengers with the cholera.

Sorry Larry my list does not go back that far. It starts in 1840 and goes through 1882. It only covers trips involving LDS church groups.

CORRECTION Notice, on the following note from Pat. John 1712 and Sarah MILLS - Sarah, John, Phoebe, Rachel, Mary, Hannah, Joseph, Kezia(h), Jane, Thomas, (Elizabeth) Ann. There was no son Thomas born to John Mills (b 1712) and Sarah BEALS Mills (b 1713) The correct birth list is; Sarah (b 1734), Phoebe (b ca1738), Hannah(b 1739), John(1740), Elizabeth Ann(b 1745), Keziah(b 1746), Mary(b 1749), Joseph(b 1753) and Rachel(b 1761). Birth dates for these nine children are not found in any reliable sources except for Joseph, born 1 Jan 1753 in Guilford Co., NC. However, marriage dates, spouse names, children and death dates are well documented in reliable sources for these nine siblings and their descendants. Many of the other items are also in error. Not sure if Paul Mills' book was the source, but anyone considering using this information should exercise caution and confirm the data from a reliable source. While some of the information is correct there are other names and dates that are completely wrong. ----- Original Message ----- From: <ChekWriter@aol.com> To: <MILLS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 27, 2006 1:50 AM Subject: Re: [MILLS] FW: Moses Mills (ca1747-1833) > Re: John MILLS book, "Mills and Related Families, John "The Immigrant". > > Even in the words of his son, Rodney, the book was just fraught with > errors. > And no one should use it as a reference or source. > > Several library's, rumor has it, have pulled it from their shelves. > > See prior MILLS LIST postings by others, as well as Rodney, the son, > himself > of his fathers' book. > > - - - - - - - - - - - - - > > Since we are on the subject of the John and Rebecca MILLS.

To Jim Mills of Missouri, Larry Mills of Tennessee, Pat (Chek Writer), Linda Craig (Larry's sister) and all of the many great Mills descendants and researchers of the Mills family line who contribute to the information pool and chat that occurs on the Web Roots Mills Email line. To Jim, I would like to read the book you refer to in your last email (Kegley's Virginia Frontier) ... If I am unable to locate the book would you mind my reading your copy. Thanks for calling me yesterday as your call caused me to stop and take the time to pen a very lengthy email to the Web Roots chat line regarding my Mills line. I needed to do this and it was you sir and Linda Craig who lit the fire. Again I thank you for that. At this time the email is only half complete and is so far, I think 5 pages in length. It contains many interesting and intriguing facts which I have yet to read about in the Web Roots chat line and provide possible answers and additional questions for consideration by Mills researchers whose descendants are known to be from MD, VA and NC. I will have this email completed I hope by Wednesday but I wanted to give you and others in the chat group / line a heads up. Thanks again to all of you. Your friend and humble servant, Michael A.

Deed 4 Nov 1774 contains the name of Richard Claiborne. Charlotte Co. personal property tax list for 1787 shows one John Claiborn. Since my Moses Mills was a resident of Halifax Co., VA in 1776 when he enlisted in the Rev. War, some Halifax Co. references to Mills are: Marriage, Henry Mills and Judith Brizendine, 13 Jul 1804.

Hope someone can use this info. MILLS, Thomas <1802> Age: 77 Origin: London Ship: Wyoming (steamship) Date of Departure: 6 Sep 1879 Port of Departure: Liverpool, England LDS Immigrants: 336 - Church Leader: Nils C. Flygare Date of Arrival: 16 Sep 1879 Port of Arrival: New York, New York

Chandler, good note! I'm glad to see that an accurate account is provided on this John Mills family for a change. I would like to let everyone know I have verified and confirmed most all of the information, on the first five children by John b. ca1688 (Thomas b.1709, John b.1712, Hur b.1714, Henry b. 1720 and Mary b.1722) and his first wife. However the 7 children by his second wife Rebeckah.( William b.1742, Rebeckah b. 1745, Benjamin b. 1747, George b. 1747, dau. Alias b. 1750, Tabitha b. 1753, and Jonathan b. 1757) are not found in any of my research. Many time I have seen links that could be to these 7 children, but never a confirming document or reference. In conclusion, I'm relatively certain that the Moses Mills of this thread is not part of the above line. This family and their children were all active Quakers and well documented in the Monthly Meeting records. There were only Two Moses Mills' in this line, and their birth dates were 1743 and 1787. The third Moses listed in Monthly Meeting records, was not a fit based on location, I think VA and a much later birth date (let me know I can look up the third Moses details if anyone would like them.)

This may be of interest to some one. I have more Mills immigrants on this list. Will send one now and then provided the list manager does not object. The reason I say this is I am not researching then and just posting the data in case others may be connected. Can not be reached by using my Email address it has parental control, not that I need it at 74.

This book can be picked up at any library. If they don't have it have them interlibrary it from a bigger library.

Yes, I knew about the reputation of the Mills book and am not using it to prove something, just to note the use of the name Moses in some of the families. Chandler Eavenson -----Original Message----- From: ChekWriter@aol.com [mailto:ChekWriter@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, May 27, 2006 1:51 AM To: MILLS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MILLS] FW: Moses Mills (ca1747-1833) Re: John MILLS book, "Mills and Related Families, John "The Immigrant". Even in the words of his son, Rodney, the book was just fraught with errors. And no one should use it as a reference or source. Several library's, rumor has it, have pulled it from their shelves. See prior MILLS LIST postings by others, as well as Rodney, the son, himself of his fathers' book. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Since we are on the subject of the John and Rebecca MILLS. See also the interesting similarity between the families and the names of their children. John 1660 and Sarah MILLS - Levi, Thomas, John John 1712 and Sarah MILLS - Sarah, John, Phoebe, Rachel, Mary, Hannah, Joseph, Kezia(h), Jane, Thomas, (Elizabeth) Ann. John 1720/1721/1733/1749 and Rebecca* MILLS 1742/1744 - Sarah 1756, John, Phoebe, Rachel, Mary, Hannah, Joseph, Rebecca, Richard, Parker * It would seem that Rebecca was 14 when her first child was born. Means she got pregnant at age 13? - Hard to take, even in this day and age. John 1686/89 and Rachel** MILLS 1688- Thomas, John, Hur(ry), Henry, Mary, William, Rebecca **Where Rachel seems to have been about 21 when her first child was born in 1709. John 1689 and Rebeckah***1700 MILLS - William, Rebecca, George, Benjamin, Alias(?) (Elias)? Alice, Tabitha, Jonathan, Richard Sr. ***Shows that the age of her first child was born when she was 42 years old? DO not THINK SO. John 1740 and Sarah MILLS - Samuel, Jane, Sarah, Abigail, William, Mary, John, Zachariah, Ruth, Alice, Lydia, Rachel, Ann. And not all of you are sure of their paternity, as Thomas, John, Hurr, and Henry are listed as "Guardian" on their name lines. Others have as "Adopted". We possibly know that the 2 John MILLS and Rebecca and Sarah and Rachel families were all supposed to have been in the area of Philadelphia and surrounding counties at the same time frame. It would have been very easy for John MILLS, of Woodburn, to get them confused. (which apparently he did, as well as other researchers. It has also come to light that all of these families were also in Maryland, too. So I can how easy it would be for them to get garbled.(By the place of birth of their spouses.) So all of you can see how some of the information that was in Mr. Mills' book could not have been correctly reported. Pat cw ==== MILLS Mailing List ==== We have archives!
