Surnames: Mills, Prewett Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jE1.2ACEB/3597 Message Board Post: I am looking for anyone with information on Walter Mills who moved from Carroll County Tennessee to Oregon County Missouri with his wife Nancy and the following children: Henderson, Mary E, John H, George P, Eli, Martha, Robert, Amanda and Sarah. I've read on this website that Walter married a Nancy Prewett in Carroll County Tennessee in 1849, but I don't have that documentation. In the 1850 & 1860 census Walter lists himself as being born in North Carolina. I am descended from Walter's son Henderson and I have gathered census and marriage information on most of Walter's children & grandchildren. Several of them migrated to Clarksville, Texas and then on to Caddo, Oklahoma. However, I have been unable to determine Walter's origins. I did find a Mills family who lived in the adjacent county of Madison during the 1850 census. The following people were on the same page: George W Mills with wife Mary and children, Vina (18), Washington (17), Minerva (12), Jane(9), Amanda(4) & Marion(3). In a separate household is James Mills with wife Christiana and children Thomas (26) and Jane (21). All of these people were born in North Carolina except for the children starting with Minerva, so this family did not come to Tennessee until at least 1834. I'm wondering if they are related to my Walter. If any of this sounds familiar to anyone, please feel free to contact me. Thank You.
