Have you tried looking at the family of George MILLS, B: 1747 sp: Amy, and his father, John III ? sp: Rebecka. There is an Aaron MOSES MILLS and a Moses MILLS as sons to George above. That might be the family you are in search. I do not have any detail at all on Moses, but do have Aaron MOSES with spouse: Nancy ANN HOOVER, this family has ties to the McLeon CLAN, is on the internet and posted that way. That the clan MCLEOD accepted them into the clan MCLEOD. Also one of the other lateral sons of this family also has a daughter Karenhapp(u)ock MILLS. Again, I have to apologize to everyone, I did read about the name, "Karenhappock/Karenhappuck, and it did have something to do with the Indians(Native Americans of the area and time frame prior to the naming of these children.) This was some research that I did very early on, and did get a "How-To" book until many years later. (First rule of thumb: Document, Document, Document all sources and references.) Possibly the families with Karen's name, are not all completely related, but because they passed through the area of Karenhappock Virginia, did name their daughters for it. Because it was so beautiful and peaceful. Again, DO NOT have any paper, pages, etc. to help. I read through this in a very old book, very brown edges of the pages, in Los Angeles Central Downtown Library, before they had the big fire there. They had to take so many books to some kind of a huge chamber to extract all the moisture out of the books from the damage. Pat cw

All I have seen about this is in the work of Paul and Rodney Mills where they indicate that John Mills, b. 1688 in PA, died 1760 in Roane Co., NC, m. 1st Rachel Bates, m. 2nd Rebeckah Harrold(or Stefan, or Wright.) By 2nd wife he, John, had a son George Mills, twin to Benjamin, born 1747. By first wife Rachel Bates he had son Henry Mills (1720-1810) who in turn had a son Moses Mills (1743-1759) and a son Aaron Mills (1449-1794). Aaron Mills in turn had a son Moses Mills, born 1787, and a son Aaron Mills, born 1791). The Aaron Mills who was son of Henry Mills also had a son John Mills (1778-1824) who had a daughter Kerenhappuch Mills, born 1812. I have always suspected that my Moses Mills (ca1747-1833) of Halifax Co., VA had some connection to the above Mills family but have not been able to prove it. As for the name Kerren-happuch, it is a Bibical name. See Job 42:14-15, Job's third daughter, whose name meant "horn of antimony," an eye paint that was used as a beautifier by oriental women to make their eyes large and lustrous..."And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job (Job 42:15). [From the book "All the women of the Bible" by Edith Dean.] I have seen the name shown as above, Kerrenhappuch, and as Karenhappock, Kerenhappuck, Keronhappuck, etc. in various places. My Moses Mills married Keronhappuck Rather 1787 in Charlotte Co., VA and some of her Rather cousins, descendants of Samuel Rather, went to Roane and Rutherford Cos.,TN and Huntsville and Madison Cos., AL. I understand there were also some Mills in Roane Co., TN.
