Hello, I have found more information, please see if this connects to your family, and please reply to me. William Mills born about 1773-1776 in New York, he is listed at Crown Point, Essex Co NY in the 1830 census. In the 1835 tax assessors list, he is listed at Factoryville, Essex Co NY. Factoryville is a hamlet about midway between Crown Point and Crown Point Center, Essex Co NY. In the 1840 census William Mills is listed at Moriah, Essex Co NY. In the 1850 census William Mills born about 1773 and his wife Hannah born about 1780 are listed at Moriah, NY. In the 1860 census William Mills b. 1773 NY is listede widowed and boarding with Cheney Stimpson family in Moriah, NY. Could be his son in law, no proof yet. Both William Mills and his wife Hannah are buired together at Mineville Cemetery, Moriah, Essex Co NY, he died 3-9-1867, at 91 yrs, and she died 2-10-1852 at 72 years. Is there anyone researching the MILLS name in Upstate New York, specifically the Essex Co NY area? I am researching this William Mills as I believe he could be the Father of Gideon Mills b. about 1798 NY, he died in Fulton Co IL in 1870. Best regards, Lilly Martin
