Well, I throw my William Mills into the fray. My gg-grandfather was William Mills (maybe William S. Mills) born about 1845 in MO. According to the 1880 Bollinger Co. census, his dad was born in AL; his mother in NC. Sometime before 1876, he married Ama/Emma/Amy Abernathy (b abt 1836 parents unknown but mother is probably "Sarah"). This was Ama's second marriage. Her first was to Patrick McArdle/McCardle (b 1830 IRL). Patrick was a Private in the MO Calvery, Co. K, Regiment 5. Served from August 1861 to January 1864. His death cause "contracted piles." William and Ama were probably married in Bollinger but I haven't found a record. They had the following children: Jemima S. Mills b: Abt. 1876 in MO (Twin?) Julia E. Mills b: Abt. 1876 in MO (Twin?) +Marion L. Malone m: Jul 02, 1892 in Bollinger Co., MO Barbara Roberta Mills (My LINE) b: Jan 29, 1878 in Lutesville, Bollinger Co., MO d: Sep 13, 1955 in Kinsey Cem., Butler Co., MO +John Columbus Booten b: Apr 20, 1868 in Sikeston, MO d: Sep 14, 1951 in Kinsey Cem., Butler Co., MO m: Jan 13, 1895 in Vastus, Butler Co., MO David Lawrence Mills b: 1881 in Bollinger Co., MO d: Jun 05, 1955 in Coon Island Cem., Butler Co., MO +Stella Rodgers b: 1880 in IN d: 1953 in Coon Island Cem., Butler Co., MO m: Sep 11, 1900 in Butler Co., MO In 1880, William and family were living in Lorance Twp, Bollinger Co., MO. William was a Farmer. In 1900, there's an entry in the BUTLER COUNTY MISSOURI MARRIAGE APPLICATIONS book on September 10, 1900 for the marriage of Lorance MILLS of Vastus, MO to Stella RODGERS: Hand written note Original Spelling Sep 11th 1900 Mr. Count Clirk Dear sir pleas let Mr. Lorance Mill have lisens for Miss Stella Rodgers sined by William S. Mills There's a possible 2nd Marriage (Unconfirmed) in Butler Co., MO: W.S. Mills (same name used on Barbara Mills' Marriage App.) married S. J. Goodlet in Bulter Co., MO on March 17, 1895. This is 3 months after his daughter Barbara married John Booten in the same county. I have found very little on any of this line. If you have any info or hints, feel free to toss them my way. Thanks in advance! Delanie
