Susan, I am related to a MILLS family that is believed to have lived in or around Ridgefield. I am related to an Ebenezer Mills who had a brother John. According to Jacobus my John was not married to a Hulda and was born about 20 years before yours. However, I was wondering, are there any directly descended MILLS males in your line who have participated in the ongoing DNA study to discover the true lines of Mills in America? If there are and they have not yet participated, do you think they might?

Helen, Do you have any information on a John and Hulda Mills of Ridgefield, Fairfield County, CT? He was born about 1776. He and Hulda are buried in the Ridgefield Cemetary, along with Jesse Mills, which I am assuming is thier son. Jesse is my gggggrandfather. Any information would be appreciated.
