    3. Hello, I am interested in the B. Dunham & Sally mentioned below...and, Ross Dunham & Sally mentioned below. My ancestors were Ross Dunham and Sarah "Sally" Roll who went from Westfield Twp., Essex Co. (now Union Co.), NJ to Hamilton Co., OH. Ross and Sarah eventually are found in Miami Co., OH. I am trying to learn more of Ross' ancestry. I know his father was Joseph Dunham and mother was Mary "Polly" Miller who went with all but one of their children to Hamiton Co., OH. The only one who remained in Westfield area was son, Moses Dunham, that I am aware of. The Dunhams appear to be numerous in Essex Co. and Union Co. and come from two different lineages...one being Deacon John Dunham of Plymouth and the other being Jonathan Dunham (alias Jonathan Singletary). This is my father's line. Then I have a MILLS line from my mother's side. I note that Joseph MILLS married 1809 Westfield, NJ to Sarah WILLIAMS. One Smith WILLIAMS served as bondman at the time of the estate filing for my ancestor, William MILLS, of Westfield. [Smith Williams m Mary Hatfield December 8, 1785 Westfield Presbyterian Church, Westfield, NJ] I have the following: Estate of William MILLS (#1). 19 Mar 1795 inventory included the following: Negro girl 35 pounds Negro girls bed & bedding Negro boy 60 pounds one large Bible 20 Mar 1795- Intestate Record: Adms.: Jeremiah MILLS & William MILLS swore William MILLS died w/o a will. Bondsman: Smith WILLIAM (sic...WILLIAMS) 15 Jan 1802-Inventory filed by appraisers. I am open to any thoughts on interrelationships between any of these families. Was Joseph Mills related to William Mills and Abner Mills. I know that Abner Mills married #2 Mary "Polly" (Miller) Dunham, both widowed, in Hamilton Co., OH. Abner Mills married 1793 Westfield, NJ to first Elizabeth "Betsey" Marsh. Audrey
