John Jan and Carol It would seem that some have picked up this family MILLS and made it part of the one of Philadelphia, with John, Thomas, Hur, etc, BATES, HARROLD, MILLIKEN/KAN families. Along with the HAWES, HAWS, HAWKINS who married into the MILLS of Braintree. But I have not seen anywhere all the years in my research that the John MILLS of Philadelphia or Chester Co. PA, was related in any way to the MILLS of Braintree, MA. Does anyone out there in MILLS land, have any sources or references that does tie that family in to the one so represented on the _www.familytreedna.com_ (http://www.familytreedna.com) web site. MILLS came with the first ships of the Mayflower era. MILLS came along and settled in the James RIVER area of VA and MD. Listed in book about Plantations owners in VA and MD. MILLS came with along later little bit with the WINTHROP FLEET of the 1630's. MILLS came along later yet, with Wm. Penn's group, and landed in or near Delaware. Did these MILLS go to PA, and then with Indian and French, British fighting make them move over and back into MD, and down into NC and TN? And we have lots of MILLS in New Jersey, they were transplants from NY, CT, and ? Cape May Co, Somerset Co, Burlington Co, Union Co, Essex Co, Sussex Co. New Jersey. Thank you pat cw
