I have not been on the website for months, due to being in college. Anyway, My Thomas R. Mills would have been born around the 1830' ti 1850's? He was married to Paiina Greenley, and he has a son named William Clarke Mills, who was my Great Great Grandfather. Thomas could have migrated to the mainland then ended up in Hawaii, where I am from, but I am not sure. I recently found some relatives in Oregon who tell a story of the first Mills that came to Hawaii. According to them, Thomas R. Mills came to Hawaii as a youth on a British ship and was washed overboard. No one ever returned to rescue him. He swam to shore and when he was older, he married a Hawaiian girl. Hope that helps.
