My ancestor Willis S.(Sanford) Mills married Elizabeth Brown in Nelson County Kentucky 3 Oct 1811. Can you tell me if and how Willis is connected to the Mills in your post below? I know nothing about Willis-parents, siblings, etc. He is found right next to Nelson Co in Washington Co KY on the 1820 Census. His family then is in Johnson County Indiana on the 1830 Census. He dies and his wife Elizabeth never remarries. She is found as head of family in 1840, with a widowed daughter in 1850. Members of this family then go to Iowa. Any help is greatly appreciated!
