Azur Reed MILLS is not listed with any wife or children on the information that Patricia Rowell on SUTTON SEARCHERS on the internet dated July 1996 provided. Also that file did not provide any information about Mark T(Thompson) MILLS either, by Linda Thompson before 1997. I put this file information together by bits and pieces, here and there. From the Family Tree Maker Family Archives of Ohio 1700 to 1970, on page 236 Hamilton County Ohio history and biographical sketches. On some Internet information and on rootsweb, it lists James as being born in Berks Co, PA and others as Sussex Co, NJ. So I guess you can take your pick of where you want him to be from depending on your family research. He is also listed as Capt. and Colonel. Seems to be the same James MILLS. But all the children listed are the same and the dates seem to jive. We now know that this family MILLS REED is also aligned with the VAN SICKLE/SICKLEN families of Canada. Will add your email address to that grouping on my email list. Kathy and Audrey Brown, Michael Brown, have also emailed to say that they have information about the VAN SICKLE families too. Don Gamble also has emailed, but his is more of an in law link. Also now it would appear that the VAN SICKLE family did live in very close proximity by county in Canada. Seela MILLS JR, also married Mary Melissa VAN SICKLE, so that is another connection that I was wondering about. I could not see Sarah MILLS, dau of James and Sarah REED MILLS who married Abraham VAN SICKLE not going up there to Canada without some other of her brothers and or sisters and children. The Plot thickens. But the break up of families was probably not unusual at that point in time. Not unlike what happened during the War between the States. Brother against brother, etc. pat cw
