I've read tons of stuff on Col. Ambrose Mills trying to catch up with all you long time Mills researchers. I can't come up with any "facts" to satisfy me that he was the son of William Mills who died in Amherst County, Virginia. I know that man had a son Ambrose, but what makes that Ambrose, the same as Col. Ambrose Mills? Why couldn't William's son be the Ambrose Mills who shows up in Lunenburg County? Or was Col. Ambrose Mills in Lunenburg County before going to South Carolina? I've seen reports that Ambrose married in Maryland. William Mills was in Albemarle/Amherst County when his son Ambrose was of marrying age. I've seen reports that Col. Ambrose Mills had a sister who married a Watts. What ties Col. Ambrose Mills to the Watts woman, other than speculation? And who said Col. Ambrose Mills was born in England? Proof? There was a William Mills imported to the colonies in 1721. Couldn't he be the William Mills of Amherst County and not the father of Col. Ambrose? I doubt an indentured man would come to the colony with a small child. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
