Posted on: Nodaway Co Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Nodaway/11027 Surname: MILLS, WOODS, PAINE ------------------------- You listed both MILLS and WOODS in your surname list for your query about Nodaway Co. MO and the BROWER surname. I have three PAINE sisters, immigrants from Kent, England, two of whom married WOODS brothers and one who married a MILLS. The marriages all took place in Menard Co. IL and all three sisters eventually lived in Nodaway Co. MO. Is any of this connected to your mention of the same surnames?
