This family link could be correct as it was about 2 generations prior to John Mills b. ca 1687/8 m1. Rebecca m2. Rebecca and d. 29 Jan 1687 Guilford Co., NC - we just need some valid references. Has anyone from the Mary Mills line completed the DNA test? To date, two tests show linage a DNA match to this John. Two others match the DNA but do not have the names and dates that link them to this John. I still question if this John was from Philadelphia as we do not have any valid references, only the saw story. The saw story may point to the wrong John Mills.? No one has ever documented any facts prior to Johns first five children.
