Mills is a family rumor that was suppressed for about 25 yrs that prior to his marriage to Blanche he had an affair with a Kingsport school teacher, Emma Alley Pendleton (my mom) & was the biological dad of her oldest son (my older brother/half-brother?). All that my niece knew was that he was the dad of Hayden. I told her I'd see what I coud find on the web. Are the data bases that you refer to Ancestry.com trees, or do I just do a search on rootsweb for "Will Mills" & "William Haddon Mill" It's selfless people like you who make these searches enjoyable. Thanks again. Jack Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
