He is mostly known by Hurry MILLS rather than Hur or Hurr. Pat cw At least that is how I have seen it listed.

To them it was an honor, to us it is a pain. There appears to be three main families that use and repeat these names without leaving evidence that they are actually related. The areas you mention are all part of the "immigration routes" used as people "went West" maybe within 50 mile radius. All on the Hudson River. I have checked some Ohio and NJ records but am interested in what you have found in the locations you mentioned. Are you able to copy the information and send it to me? I am willing to reimburse you for the expense.

Do you have any more information on Minnie A MILLS? Her spouse? Was she a MILLS or a married MILLS? Thank you Pat cw

Skip: Just noticed that you say Abigail was born about 1763, and her first child listed on rootsweb.com says born 1760, before she was? Second, still, Abigail born about 1763, and her first child was born 1775, that would have made her only 12 years old. That is almost child abuse or ? That is almost before even by today's standards, girls do not mature much before that age. I think you are going to have re think her age, and move it back a few more years? Anyone else have any insights on this MILLS BARTON line of Orange Co, NY. Also up in that area I believe, we also have the Alonzo Derrick MILLS family, could they also be of some relation to this MILLS BARTON's? Pat cw

I would like to continue assembling a family tree for MILLS . If anyone would like to exchange MILLS information with me they would be very welcome. Information regarding any family trees bearing this surname would be very helpful to my research as I hope to eventually find connecting ancestors to all individuals bearing this same name worldwide. I would be more than willing to send what information I have by Gedcom, or any other agreed method, to any interested parties. I run Legacy 6 as a family history programme on my computer. Thanks!

This is near to the same area? Dutchess/Duchess and Westchester and Bedford NY. Not sure how far these counties are to each other. Dutchess, Orange, Bedford, Westchester. Again, here we have way too many of the same names following in the same families. All of these names do follow in the MILLS of Dayton Montgomery Co. Ohio and then back to Westfield Essex Co. NJ. Amos, Abigail, Zachariah, Zebediah, Letiticia, Letitia, and so forth. Which sort of leads me to believe that one way or the other they might still be related, we just cannot seem to find the right link that ties it together. Anyone else have a different take on this muddle?

Also John married to a Letiticia and thus making her a MILLS. Could it be that someone is confusing these 2 women as being sisters? They were in marriage to the same man, but not to each other. One is LAMBERTSON, the other is CLARK. Thus bringing them all together with Amos, Zachariah, and Zebediah MILLS who are in all the same family MILLS line. Just asking, DO NOT KNOW for sure. Unless you have discovered another different line of MILLS over in the Orange, Goshen ? NY area? But I do not have any other Abigail MILLS with any date near 1763. Pat cw

Was she possibly the dau of Peter MILLS and Sarah FOSTER.? Sarah was from Goshen, Orange Co. NY. I looked on rootsweb just now, and there is an Abigal MILLS married to John Barton, But the dates are off. The first child is listed as being born in 1760, and that Abigail died in 1829? The next child does not seem to be born until 1775? I guess they all 7 of them have picked up the incorrect family line of John and Abigail. Do you have any information on Sarah FOSTER and Peter MILLS of that area? you wish to share. Thank you Pat cw I have a Major Itheil MILLS, Emily SPICER that was supposed to be from that area. They had a son, Ithiel Jr. They moved from Sandusky, Oh up to Michigan on about 150 acres.

Rebekah, Not sure about your Hur Mills. I have 4 Hur Mills', with birth years of 1714, 1755, 1771 and 1781. Wilks Co. NC was formed in 1777 and it came from Surry Co. and the district of Washington (TN), go west to the new land. In the early 1800's there were two major moves by John Mills Sr. descendants and the moved to Clinton Co. OH and Jefferson Co. TN. Wilks Co. NC is about half way on the path to TN. NC Counties Are Confusing Many of the Counties in NC were divided and sub divided. So, while people never moved they may show up in several different counties. John Sr. and his first 5 children are examples. They all moved to Rowan in 1752 & 1753. In 1752 it was Orange Co. then in 1753 their land became Rowan and then in 1770 their land was now in Guilford Co.
