I am in no way a expert on the Mills family other than they came from Westchester Co New York originally, then split-up in Cumberland Co NS some moved to Linden area and Henry Mills who married one of John Lumleys daughters lived near Southampton, Cumberland Co NS. John Lumley and rest of family also moved from Southampton to Dunwich twp in 1819. The Mills ancestry site is also a pretty good spot to check into. Bruce
