My David Mills came from Alabama according to Census records for the children. He came to Stoddard Co about 1840 and died around Advance, Stoddard Co Mo in 1849. Most of the children moved to Bollinger Co and continue to live there or in Madison Co. I have no information on his wife/wifes. I guess he was born sometime about 1800, place unknown. Attached is a Family Group Sheet for the family of David Mills. Since they lived close maybe David and William's father were brothers. Noway we can prove it at this time. I have hit a dead end with David. I would appreciate any information you might find on the family.

In it she tells the story of the death of Thomas Benton Mills as told to her by Jane Rollins, a then 90 year old resident of Stockoff Nursing Home in Fredericktown Mo., Willa's aunt Erna Shrum, and Dorothy Proffer, daughter of John and Emma (Bennett) Mills. Dorothy said her grandfather, Thomas Benton Mills, had taken his family south to pick cotton. While there, he started bleeding as he had done before. (ailment unknown) They were unable to stop the bleeding and he bled to death. He was placed in a glass top coffin and brought back home by wagon. During the trip his wife told of wiping beads of sweat from his head and how she feared they may be burying him alive. The family dog arrived home ahead of the family and wagon. The dog howled all night and his son, Rev John Headley Mills commented, "Now something has happened. It is just too lonesome.". When the family and wagon arrived and they brought the family inside, the dog went all around the casket sniffing. He then went and laid down at the head of the casket. The family could not move the dog because he threatened to bite them each time they tried to move him. There are some inconsistencies in this story. Norma Green Johnson indicates his children were quite young when he died. Apparently his son John Headley did not go with them. Also, were all his children young or did he still have young children? Mary Jane was the youngest born in Jun 1871 when he was 31. Comments by Art Delhougne. 1860 US Census indicates Thomas and wife Margaret Yount were living with her family.AED ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ F Child 7: Hannah Roberta Mills #13753 Born: 1847/1848 in Missouri 14 Baptized: Christened: Died: Buried: Ref number Occupation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (1) Reagan History From the Smokies to the Ozarks 1834 to 1993 Willa Reagan Combs & Rudy Reagan.
