The Mills family you speak of was related to the John Reid Mills, hired by Benjamin Stites as the Surveyor following the landing and preliminary settlement at Columbiana, (Cincinatti) Ohio. For more on this line of Mills refer to the Stites Expedition. VERY IMPORTANT: John Reid Mills was not related to Elijah and Jacob Mills who were also members of the Expedition when it went into Ohio. Elijah and Jacob are descendants of the Mills family line from Licking Creek area of Washington Co, MD and thereafter Washington Co, PA. John Reid Mills is descended from a Mills line out of Morris TnShp in NJ, Possibly in Sussex Co. I believe Pat is related to the John Reid Mills line. Should anyone have questions regarding these two Mills lines I would be glad to answer any questions you might have. Feel free to contact me at the numbers below anytime or by email. Michael A.

Years ago I remember contacting someone about a connection between John Reid Mills and Col. James Mills and was told that no such connection existed. I cannot find that email now. Since Azur REED Mills was named for his maternal grandfather, the REED / REID names appear to be coincidental, even if one could demonstrate a connection between John and James. arg --- MAMILLSPI@aol.com wrote: > The Mills family you speak of was related to the > John Reid Mills, hired by > Benjamin Stites as the Surveyor following the > landing and preliminary > settlement at Columbiana, (Cincinatti) Ohio.

Are you sure it was John Reid Mills? In my years of research, I found it was John Reading Mills, s/o Rev. William Mills (s/o Isaac Mills & Hannah Miller of Essex Co., later Union Co., NJ), and Mary Reading, who is related to my line of MILLS. He accompanied the Stites Expedition as surveyor. He moved his family to Hamilton Co., OH. His brother was Isaac Mills (established Elizabethtown, Hamilton Co., OH) and married Elizabeth Dunn. They were also related to Philemon Elmer Mills who laid out and helped establish the village of Sharonville, Hamilton Co., OH. Philemon Elmer Mills was s/o William Mills I and Amy [--?--] of Essex Co. (later Union Co.), NJ.
