Looking at the web site, _www.familytreedna.com_ (http://www.familytreedna.com) under MILLS DNA PROJECT, the family grouping might bring more light on your question. By looking at the family trees that match, 12 12 and then the other markers show that other families listed there have very similar numbers. Go to _www.familytreedna.com_ (http://www.familytreedna.com) in search box, type in MILLS click on MILLS click on link: crrking, etc. go to bottom of page, click on DNA results look at categories 170, etc. look in R1B1 for haplo grouping These 2 MILLS families are linked as they are a match. Further inspection of those databases found on other genealogy web sites, might shed more light as to whether or not, they were truly Quakers. Was it not the first settlers who came and established a settlement at Jamestown, now VA. (early 1500s) Possibly a Hurricane came in and they were overcome, above and beyond the stories of getting into a war with the Native Americans? Those that survived if at all, fled inland. Rumors of blue eyed native Americans were found. From there on followed: Was it not the Pilgrims, who came next? (The Mayflower Group of Ships) 1620ish) Then came the Quakers? Then came the Quakers who left England, went to the Netherlands, then came to the New World, through England? Then came the ones who settled in New York, into Connecticut (1630ish) Then came the William Penn group, were they also Quakers? Settled in now Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Delaware, then New Jersey? From there on our forefathers/mothers descendants grew this country to what it is now? I do not have handy a very good edition of our American History. Still in storage, sorry. Pat cw Hope this might help a little.
