Thanks for your reply.......I come from the ALONZO DERICK MILLS who migrated to Wisconsin and married Emily Jane Townsend in Monfort, Wisc. in 1843. ----- Original Message ----- From: montysm@comcast.net<mailto:montysm@comcast.net> To: MILLS-L@rootsweb.com<mailto:MILLS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 11:26 AM Subject: Re: [MILLS] Mills...starting with Thomas Don, my Mills family has alot of those names, but all of them were from the Bangor, ME or Portsmouth, NH area. I have just this year begun to find all of my kin and it has been both challenging and rewarding. I see many names that could be..but I dont think are. Now having said all of that the Thomas in my Mills' extended family is Thomas Warren Mills born in IL, 1875 and died in Okla. 1958. These would be cousins so I know no more. Good luck with your search. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Don Dye" <texdye@msn.com<mailto:texdye@msn.com>> > Good Morning...I sent this and never received a reply.
