I have Abigail Mills, dau/o Jeremiah Mills, Jr. (1769 NJ-1860 Warren Co., OH). His first wife was Abigail Bryant. They were married 1798 in NJ. This is the only MIlls family that I know which was in Warren Co., OH and would have been able to have a child born in1802 and young Abigail could have been named for her mother. What other information do you have? One researcher indicated that Jeremiah's daughter, Abigail, married Adam Hinman, but that was never proven. It is not known either if these are the same Abigails or same Jeremiahs. If so, perhaps a first or second marriage, but possibly not. Your Andrew Painter sounds like a strong possibility for young Abigail. This Jeremiah Mills Jr. and somehow related to my William Mills I, II, & III. Jeremiah, Sr. and William II were administrators of the estate of William Mills I of Essex Co., NJ. I have never found a record that names the father of either Jeremiah I or William I. Audrey
