Pat, I don't know about Isaac Mills being Isaac Clarkson Mills, but Obediah Thornburgh who married Prescilla Mills (Issac's daughter) was named Obediah Clarkson Thornburgh, and they named their son Richard Clarkson Thornburg (dropped the H in this generation). I really doubt that Isaac's middle name was Clarkson. Think that name came from the Thornburgh side. My line is through Obed and Pressie's daughter, Rachel T. E. Thornburg and Perry Mills. Isaac Mills' parents were definitely Aaron Mills and Charity Mendenhall. I do not have the intials of "E" for either of them. At this point, I can't tell you for sure on Rachel whether it is Bales or Beals. I have her father was John Bales and her mother was named Ann. I have that Rachel died in OR on February 18, 1889. I don't have anything in my notes on the computer as to where I obtained this information. I do have a listing of Isaac and Rachel's children with one of them being John Bales Mills born April 23, 1815. At one point we made a trip to OR and did some research in a library near Forest Grove (could have even been Forest Grove, but I don't have my notes at hand to remind me), so it is possible that I found the information there. As far as Elijah Mills goes, I have not seen anything that indicates who Elijah's parents were. According to my great grandfather's death certificate, he, Perry Mills, was born in OH, but we know he was not according to census records and family information (Perry was born in IL), so I'm wondering if it was actually Elijah who was born in OH, and his son who gave the information for the death certificate was confused between his father and his grandfather's birthplace. I have not had the opportunity to research in OH as yet, but would like to do that at some point. I will be checking the DNA results. Thank you, Pat, for drawing my attention to that. Thanks for all the help on this family to everyone.
