Frank E. Mills is listed in the 1900 census for 2-Pct, Hill County, TX. He is age 40, born in IL, his father born in Canada Eng, his mother in NY. Also living with him are his wife (name I cannot read), children Roy R. - age 12; Charlie - Age 4; and Cullen A. - age 3. The final person listed is Frank's father, Alexander J. Mills, age 69, born Feb 1831, born in Canada Eng, father born in Canada Eng, mother born in Ireland. I am wondering if anyone knows of any of these Mills, including what happened to them after this census. I am particularly wondering if this could be the Alexander J. Mills who was probably born in VT, lived in Canada as an infant until his late teen/early 20 years, went to NY, married Olive Clarinda Parsons, in St. Lawrence County, NY. In 1860 that Alexander J. Mills was in the Milton, DuPage County, IL census, served in the Civil War, and was in Neosho County, KS, in the 1870 census. He married Anne Jennie Call (seemed to go by Jennie in the census) in about 1870 in Neosho County, KS; she later divorced him in the 1870s in Ouray County, Colorado, and she remarried Albert Paff. She is listed in the 1880 census with husband Albert and his step-children, Mandie Mills - age 9 and Katie Mills - age 6. I would deeply appreciate any further information on any or all of these folks. My ultimate goal is to discover the parents of Alexander J. Mills and his brother, Henry, who is my gggrandfather. Thank you very much. Frances

Hi Frances I have lots of Mills in Co Monaghan, Ireland. The name Alexander crops up often but the nearest I can get is an Alexander b. 1834. Francis or Frank is also common. Jason Mills
