Are you sure you have the right children listed with the right family members. Henry Samuel MILLS born 1821. to Reuben and Ruth KELLY??? She would have been 57 years old when she had him ?? Kind of old, maybe to be having a child. So many years after all the others??? Way too late for a "change of life baby"? Onset of menopause in those days might have been a lot sooner, rather than later. They lived with so very short candles, and the life was so desperately hard for them. Maybe Henry Samuel MILLS was son of Samuel MILLS and Sallie SMITH?? Just asking. Or am I mis reading your downline??? for this family. Pat cw In a message dated 9/14/2008 2:01:56 P.M.
