Just for grins you may want to research online and via the various Genealogical websites, the info available, pertaining to the Stites Expedition of 1787/88 which will give a more detailed account of John Reid Mills. I understand that John Reid Mills subsequestly recruited a brother of cousin to come out as well. I have read many references to Col James Mills and have often wondered if these two men were related.
