Hello J Mills, My MILLS family (at least one line of them--I have 2 lines) came from Vermillion Co, IL. They were Quakers as well. They passed through Jefferson Co, TN and Keokuk Co, IA before moving to Indian Territory, OK, which is now Bluejacket, Craig Co, OK, in about 1891. Subsequently, they moved to Coffeyville, Montgomery Co, KS. My grandparents were Almeda Mills and Robert Vermillion. My great grandfather was Perry Mills who married Rachel T. E. Thornburg in 1859 in IA. Perry was born in 1839 in IL. His parents were Elijah, born in IL or OH and Nancy Elmore, born in TN. Elijah and Nancy were married in 1824 in Jefferson Co, TN. We have no information at this point regarding Elijah's parents. Nancy's parents were David Elmore and Elizabeth Hammon. David and Elizabeth were married in Jefferson Co, TN in 1805. Rachel's parents were Obediah Thornburg and Prescilla Mills (this is the other line of Mills). Obed and Pressie were married in 1829 in Jefferson Co, TN. Obediah's parents were Richard Thornborough and Margaret Chase. Richard and Margaret were married in 1804 in Jefferson Co, TN. Pressie's parents were Isaac Mills and Rachel Bales. Isaac and Rachel were married in 1811 in Jefferson Co, TN. Obed and Pressie moved to Washington Co, OR between 1841-1865 where they died in early 1900's. Isaac died in 1835 in Jefferson Co, TN, and Rachel died in 1889 in OR. Is there anything you or anyone can add to the above, especially regarding Elijah Mills or his parents? Thank you.

The pages from the book I have indicates that John Mills, born 9-4-1778, died 9-12-1824, son of Aaron and Charity Mendenhall Mills, married 2-2-1803 to Mary Davis, born 8-15-1785, dau. of Jon and Jane Mills Davis. Their 12 children were Jane, Seth, Betsy Ann, Charity, Aaron, Karenhappuch, Miles, Miriah, Sarah, John Davis, Ira and Elihu. Also that John and Mary lived in Jefferson Co, TN. In 1807 they moved to Ohio and settled on the Big Miami, 15 miles above Dayton, where they remained for four years. Then moved farther east to the Mad River, about 9 miles east of Urbana. About 1815 they moved to Indiana where other relatives had already settled. Land was purchased in Wayne Co. where they lived until John died in 1824. One page mentions an Elijah Mills, born 2-27-1796, died 11-22-1844, son of John and Mary Pearson Mills, married 3-1-1821 Mary Hawkins, born 2-25-1800, dau. of Amos and Ann Hawkins. Their 9 children were Ann, Rebecca, Martha, John, Amos, Phillip, Elihu, Dinah and Phebe.
