Hi Joy, I have information from a Mills researcher that shows that William Riley is the brother of my Joel Mills of Hancock Co Tn. John Mills on the 1860 census a few houses from Wm R is another brother. I descend from Joel's son Marvel Mills who is on the 1860 in Stone Co next to his uncle Calvin Cloud. They were in the Ponce de Leon area very near Christian Co. Marvel's mother Polly Cloud was Calvin's sister. Except for Polly, d 1847, all these people are on the Hancock Co 1850 census. My records show that Wm R's wife was Mary Wolfe. Let me know is you need more information.
