There is listed a Peter, son of Peter and Sarah Foster MILLS, he born 1768, Goshen, Orange Co, NY. and is buried in MILLS Cemetery, Wayawanda. Peter, Jr. spouse: Deborah Howell of New Jersey. I guess you have already looked at those MILLS lines. They are on RootsWeb.com and other gen sites, am sure. Pat cw

A Peter Mills in Waawayanda, School Dist. #9, Orange Co. NY in 1813 but nothing to connect those two. There were a raft of Peters, Abigails and Sarahs in many families in that time period. Makes it difficult to track who was who. 1760 vs 1829, could be. She could easily have been 88-89 yrs old. Other children may not have been recorded or could have had miscarrages/ blue babies in between 1760 and 1775. Our Abby is Dau. of Amos Sr. and ? I see a listing for only a T. L. Mills and Tobias Spicer in Orange Co..

Did you investigate any other MILLS who were in the same area as Orlando on the census record. What family was he next to or near? What county was referenced as he was listed? Maybe that might give you more clues to which possible other families that might be related. Pat cw

Are you calling attention to this family for more information or that it is on rootsweb.com under database #ag333 by Unknown. dated 2001. It is the only one showing Henry and Elizabeth John MILLS with Martha and Joseph being brother and sister. The others just have the Joseph and son Pusey MILLS. pat cw This family is part of the John MILLS of Philadelphia PA, Rachel Bates, etc. line.

Pat, I believe the will you are speaking of is the Elgin Surrogate Court Record which Jim apparently already has (so he states in his email message): ]LNAME[ MILLS FNAME[ CORNELIUS RESID[ YARMOUTH DATE[ 1846 FILE[ 3 MFNO[ 1465 NOTES[ - death date uncertain - will dated August 29, 1846 - wife was Matilda Mills - she lived on South Part of Lot 21, North Part of Lot 22, North Half of Lot 23, Concession 6, Yarmouth - oldest son was Minard Mills, who lived on the North Half of Lot 20, Concession 5, Yarmouth - son was Ira Mills - daughter was Phebe Haight - daughter was Priscilla Darling - daughter was Matilda Mills - son was Daniel Mills, who lived on the South Half of Lot 19, Concession 6, Yarmouth - son was William Mills, who lived on the Northeast Quarter of Lot 19, Concession 5, Yarmouth EXECUTORS: - Samuel Haight, Yarmouth; - Daniel Mills, Yarmouth WITNESSES TO WILL: - Henry Doggrell; - Edwin Jay - Letters of Administration granted December 15, 1846 Here is the Elgin Surrogate Court Record for Cornelius' father John: ]LNAME[ MILLS FNAME[ JOHN RESID[ YARMOUTH DATE[ APR 25, 1864 FILE[ 119 MFNO[ 1376 NOTES[ - known as John Mills the Elder - executors: Isaac Mills, Yarmouth; James Mills, Yarmouth, now deceased; Samuel Hathaway, Yarmouth - wife Abigail Mills - daughter-in-law Anna Mills, widow of late son, Samuel Mills - nephews: William Mills, son of late Samuel Mills; George Washington Mills, son of late Samuel Mills - niece Almira Mills, daughter of late Samuel Mills - daughters: Sarah Doan; Phebe Kipp - sons: eldest, David Mills; second son, James Mills; Isaac Mills; John Mills - nephews: Minard Mills; Ira Mills; Daniel Mills; William Mills - all sons of the late Cornelius Mills I've always wondered if this John Mills was a branch of my Bedford, Westchester County, New York, Mills' line.

John Mills (b. 09 Sept 1770, BP unknown) married Abigail Minard (b. 11 May 1770, BP unknown) about 1789 or 1790 (marriage place unknown, possibly New York). Between 1790 and 1800, they had four sons, David, b. about 1790 in New York, James, b. 20 Aug 1793, Cornelius, b.16 Oct 1795, Isaac, b. abt 1800 (All birth dates/years are calculated or estimated from cemetery, death, and tax records in Yarmouth Township, Elgin County, Ontario). This family may be the John Mills family found in the 1800 census for Kingston, Ulster Co, New York with a female (Abigail?) and 4 sons under 10. Later they had 4 more children John Mills, Jr. (aka "The Younger") b. 15 Mar 1803, and Samuel, Sarah and Phebe Mills (birth dates and places unknown). Some sources report 2 additional daughters but their names have not been found. Abigail Minard Mills appears to have joined the Quakers, perhaps along with several of her Minard extended family members. Her husband, John, does not ever seem to join. In Oct 1810, Abigail Mills, wife of John, transfers her membership from the Marlborough Monthly Meeting in Ulster County, NY to the Adolphustown MM in the Niagara area of Canada. In June 1816, she returns to New York, her membership being received at the Junius MM in Seneca County, New York. Between 1816 and 1820, sons Cornelius and David join the Quakers and marry into well known Quaker families. In May of 1820 Abigail, wife of John, transfers to the Norwich MM in Canada where she and her husband live the rest of their lives in the Quaker community of Sparta, Yarmouth Township, Elgin Co., Ontario, both dying in 1864. Sons David, Cornelius, James, and Isaac and other family members move to Ontario with them. Does this family sound familiar to those researching the Mills families in Ulster Co. and adjacent areas of New York? Is Abigail Minard the daughter of James Minard and Abigail Camp? Jim Otton

I am trying to find information about the Charles Mills, born 12/10/1828 in Russelltown, Quebec, Canada and died 11/14/1918. I am a 12 for 12 match on the DNA of this Mills family. Any contact would be appreciated. Ken Holmes

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jE1.2ACEB/3522.1 Message Board Post: Hi Bob. My grandfather Oney Lanning had a sister Sarah b.1873 in Ohio and she first married James Nichols and several children. Then she married an Isaac Mills (no info on him) and they had a son Everett Mills. In the 1920 census I find Isaac, Sarah and Everett 5 years old and living with them is my gr. grandfather Amos Lanning. I would like very much to know more about the Mills but I am especially interested in finding info about Amos Lanning. The 1870 census shows Amos Lanning 19 married to Clara Johnson 19. Then in 1880 Amos and Clara show up with 3 daughters, Annie, Sarah, and Minie. And I have followed them all the way to the 1920 census. My problem is that my gr. grandfather Amos seems to have just dropped to earth at 19 in 1870. I was hoping to locate someone related to Everett that might know something about his grandfather Amos. Thanks for any info you could share. Denny Lanning
