This family is on rootsweb but not with this child listed. She appears actually on several databases, so possible this is a branch of family not yet as fully documented as others. This family CORY ties in with my MILLS family, indirectly, with Samuel MILLS and Elizabeth HARE and 2nd wife Mary. Some have that Samuel is son of Jonathan MILLS and Martha HALSTEAD, son of George MILLS and Rebecca TANNER family lines of Jamaica, LI NY, etc. DNA testing has been done on 6 branches of this MILLS family, _www.familytreedna.com_ (http://www.familytreedna.com) under MILLS, go to DNA results page, category 600 and 600a as haplo group I (eye). Pat cw NoteS: Jonathan CORY - Mary CONKLIN. they dau Temperance CORY married Abraham SHEPHERD. Jonathan CORY was son of Isaac CORY and Sarah Linda COOK. Isaac was son of John CORY and Ann SALMON. Ebenezer CORY married Mary MILLS. Mary MILLS was dau of Samuel MILLS and Mary. Samuel MILLS was son of Jonathan MILLS and Martha HALSTEAD Jonathan MILLS was son of George MILLS and Rebecca TANNER. Ebenezer CORY was son of Elnathan CORY and Sarah SIMPSON Elnathan CORY was son of John CORY and Priscilla OSBORN. John CORY was son of John CORY and Mary CORNISH. John CORY was son of John CORY and Ann SALMON above noted. So we have a kind of circle of family again. I have further re SHEPHERD link maybe: Lucy ShephardShepherd married Henry CLINE MILLS. NOTE: So far no ONE has parents for Lucy. Henry CLINE MILLS was son of John MILLS and Elizabeth CLINE. John MILLS was son of John MILLS and Permilla SEELEY/SEELY. John was son of John MILLS and Rebecca SMITH of Sussex CO. NJ USA. This MILLS family, at least by DNA matches the above noted George MILLS family as well. I do not have a concrete documented as yet, paper trail between these MILLS families. Further Notes; From _www.Familysearch.org_ (http://www.Familysearch.org) has the following: Mary CONKLING was dau of Joseph CONKLING and Mary EDWARDS. This Mary CONKLIN/CONKLING married Jonathan CORAY and had Temperance CORAY who married Abraham SHEPHERD. they are listed with 6 children, etc. marriage and locales, seem to be same. Input by a whole bunch of people. 6 in number. See their information, too much to list here. Cannot get it to copy and paste for me tonight via AOL. Having trouble over all with compatibility for some WEIRD reason. Granted I have NOT VERIFIED any of this information as such uploaded to the ancestral file and rootsweb and gencircles.com. Have no longer access, physical or otherwise to do so. Hope this may help out a little bit towards getting your family together for you. Patricia cw Note: Too I see other MILLS - SHEPHERD Marriages, but are dead ends, no parents for them. Just that these too are just families not yet researched as thoroughly as others. And may also tie in to your ABraham and Temperance lines. Again a circle of family, so to speak. In a message dated 1/7/2009 7:25:10 A.M.
