I am of the George Mills line, as is Pat. My ancestor is from his descendant William W. Mills coming out of Westfield, Essex Co. (Union Co.), New Jersey. William W. Mills, s/o William Mills II and Rebecca and gs/o William Mills I and Amy. A male MILLS relative graciously consented to be a MILLS DNA participant (59705), so we match with others of the 600 group.
