There is also a Thomas J MILLS, who is the son of Ira D. MILLS. Thomas is listed as a reference from the DAR, through Mildred Jones of the DAR in Reseda, Ca. Thomas J. Mills is noted as a reference about Jasper Co, MO. Is this not the family that someone else just asked about a Preston MILLS? Ira has a son Preston. Also Ira was married twice. But I do not have that family on any of my files. Spouse or children. See old MILLS LIST postings recently, April or May, re this family line. Also I have a noted that On rootsweb.com message boards, a "Sam" was enquiring similar names, and counties. pat cw
