    2. Do not know if this could be related or not, but there is a cemetery in the area of Troy, Ohio, that is called the "MILLS-WELLS" Cemetery. The MILLS cemetery is back behind an old farm house kind of up on a knoll. About a mile down the road, and in about the same situation, is another cemetery, the "WELLS" cemetery. On some maps, they are marked as both MILLS-WELL Cemetery. Someone told me that another cemetery was moved and or buried under the earth used to build an overpass very near to these cemeteries on the highway on the way to Troy, Ohio, near Tipp City. This was back in December 1988, when I was back visiting with my cousins in Ohio. It was very cold, and had snowed. My boots soaked up the moisture from the ground, and I still have not been able to get them cleaned up since. I guess I sort of brought home some of my family ooze from there with me forever. At this time, these years past, they both might have been plowed under by the farmer who then owned the property. As in all things progress, does happen. I know that one of my great greats is buried there, and he was a Civil war survivor. ( Some children and others too. Buried about 1790's to 1870s. ) My cousin was talking about getting a marker to be put there on the graves, but do not know if this would have kept the farmer from exercising his right to utilize the land for crops. Very much, corn and soy etc in the area. Will have to write to my cousin once more, and get the exact description of the cemetery locations, and county etc, there in Ohio. (This is north of Dayton.) pat cw
