None of this is in concrete, I would like to get it there. The problem is, there were several Henry MILLS present in Crawford County and Harrison County in Indiana -- some of the outer lying counties as well. It does get confusing, because it seems that they all named their children similar. Thank you!
I am wondering if anyone knows of any descedants of the three or four early Mills that come to the Boston area, such as 1 John Mills, to Boston 1630, that eventually ended up in Braintree, MA. 2 Samuel Mills that lived in the Dedham area, 1640's, family then to Needham, MA 3 John Mills that started out in the Scarbourgh area of Maine then to Boston MA 4, any other pre 1680's Mills to Boston. That might have their DNA done if I was paying. Preferably male, but any contact would be appreciated. John Selwyn Mills millsj@nbnet.nb.ca
