Dear Susan, Uncanny! It was just yesterday at NEHGS in Boston that I ran across this John and Huldah and was wondering who that John was. He might be of the Bedford, NY, Mills family, descendants of Zachariah Mills, son of George 1 Mills of Jamaica, Long Island, NY. Or, more likely, he may be a descendant of Zachariah's brother Samuel whose son Samuel went to Greenwich, Conn. Samuel of Greenwich had a grandson, Denton Mills, who was baptized at the Second Congregational Church in Greenwich on 5 June 1729 and died at Ridgefield 9 Nov. 1791. His wife was Sarah Cornwall whom he married at Ridgefield on 29 Feb. 1760. I'm taking that from my own article in the NEHG REGISTER of April 2002, vol. 156, p. 119. But I didn't follow Denton any further than that. Since you say John and Hulda are buried in Ridgefield, I'm pretty sure he doesn't belong in the family of John Mills, shipwright of Stamford, Conn. Have you searched probate and deeds? Ridgefield was in the Danbury Probate District until 1841 when the Ridgefield district was established. And there are some church records on FHL microfilm. But it looks like the early Congregational Church records may only be available at the Danbury Public Library. And I have a vague memory of a collection on Ridgefield families, a manuscript at the Conn. State Library, but I may be thinking of something for another town. As for Huldah, I ran across her in a little book by John L. De Forest called ANTHONY DE FOREST OF STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT, 1739 (no place, 1983), pp. 23-25. It says Huldah, b. 1800, m. John Mills. She was the daughter of Reuben and Huldah (___) deForest. Reuben served in the Revolution and was a pensioner in 1832, cert. #17906. He was born at Stamford, Conn., on 14 Dec. 1752 and lived there until 1797 when he went to New Canaan, Conn., where he died. His first wife was Huldah ___ and his second was Hannah Weed whom he married at Ridgebury (part of Ridgefield) on 18 Oct. 1825. That pension record should be on Heritage Quest Online (selected papers only). Search for Reuben deForest (no space in the name) and it gives his number as S17380 (not 17906). This adds that he died on 3 June 1836. It says he had 16 children, 10 living, and names them, including Huldah Mills. But it doesn't say her husband was John. I imagine that must have come from their gravestones. Or did you already know all that about Huldah? Helen Ullmann

Susan, I am related to a MILLS family that is believed to have lived in or around Ridgefield. I am related to an Ebenezer Mills who had a brother John. According to Jacobus my John was not married to a Hulda and was born about 20 years before yours. However, I was wondering, are there any directly descended MILLS males in your line who have participated in the ongoing DNA study to discover the true lines of Mills in America? If there are and they have not yet participated, do you think they might?

Hi RMills I think you have to type the word, UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line to be deleted from the MILLS LIST. Rather than say, you want to be deleted with a subject from a previous MILLS LIST email to you. Not sure, but might check the site for what to put. Pat cw Sorry to hear that you do not want to stay with us. Are you one of our MILLS? Pat of Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio.

Hi Art: It would appear that they were not sure exactly when they were born. The dates seem to be off on the ten year lapse between census. Both James and Sarah? Unless you made some more typo's? Or the census taker did not personally interview this family, but relied on the next door neighbors for information about them. Also noticed that possibly James married in between 1870 and 1880? Unless Hannah was a sister? or is she James new wife? I do not have access to look at the census record myself to check it out. So far I have not linked up to any other family on my files. Pat cw

Also very good points, Ray. However, Ray, I believe that Davy Crockett was not in The Northwest Territory as it was called. But he was in Kentucky and Tennessee. Remember too, that since we are talking about Walt Disney Movies, they are made with a very large touch of salt. Maybe so, maybe not. Yes, some settlers, that is, the men (frontiersmen) were in that area, but most were considered as squatters. Once the area was open to the rightful landowners by grant of their services during the Revolutionary War in the other states. These early arrivals were then put off their lands, after much improvement. Some were given near lands, but in turn, these too became subject of new settlers with rightful possession. There is mentioned in one of the genealogy and history books, on Ohio, that his name was John MILLS. He was the first settler in Eaton, Preble County, Ohio, and he did move on to other lands several times, The same problem. He did move on over to Indiana, and then back a couple more times, each state. Finally in Indiana, where he did pass. But in the meantime, that name is also parallel with a Thomas MILLS. And we know that there are just way too many JOHN and THOMAS MILLS in all of our family trees. But I still do not believe that this person was born in Ohio in 1771. That is clearly, 17 years before actual settlement was opened up for those who came with STITES and others. SYMMES, etc., other large land speculators. Unless you have some kind of documented evidence of the birth, i.e., family bible, or ? I would be happy to accept that place as his birthplace at that time frame. pat cw Again, we do not want to confuse present day movie adaptions, with actual historical data. Pension records, Widow pensions, etc.

Hi Pat Any clue as to when and where this John Mills was born or how old he was when he came to Ohio or just where he came from? You guessed it --I have an elusive John Mills b. 1727.

Pieter's son Peter Mills (1668) married Joanna Porter of Windsor, Ct. (this is where my connection to The Descendants of Founders of Ancient Windsor) on 21 July 1692 and had 10 children according to our DFAW records. The Porters were among the Founders of Windsor. If you need all the details I can provide them for you want to e-mail me.

I noted the response to the query about Elisha Mills' probably not being born in 1771 in Ohio because the Northwest Territory (which included five current states of today including Ohio) was not settled until 1788. I have a similar piece of information about an ancestor and have been told the same thing. My ancestor, Stephen A. Smith, was said to have been born in Warren County, OH, in 1786. That is on an old family chart my grandmother had made in the 1920s or 1930s. Researchers in Warren County have written me that that is very unlikely; yet they have also seen a listing of that same information. I have read that there were folks who were wandering around in the Northwest Territory prior to 1788, some of whom probably took time to build some type of abode and to have children. Just thought I'd throw this into the pot. My MILLS ancestor is Henry Mills, born in Durham County, Canada, in 1835. Sure wish someone would send me the name of his parents. Frances

A good point is made here. Watch to see that your genealogy data does not conflict with historical data. In this case, it is worth noting that the land just to the west of this area experienced the Black Hawk Wars but not until many years later. Ohio and western Pennsylvania were experiencing a good deal of Indian "raids" up to and including the Revolutionary period and beyond. Many so called farms in this area were not farms as we know them today. The men would often plant crops in the growing season, tend them and then retreat to the safety of Pennsylvania for the remainder of the year. If any of you remember the Disney series on TV many years ago about Davy Crocket you may remember the scenes of him being attacked from the shore while he was on a river boat. Those scenes were not far from the true situation on the rivers between Ohio and its eastern neighbors of Pennsylvania and Virginia.
