If you are related to Rebecca Mills, you are in for a treat. All of that work has been done - and documented. You need to know, of course, if your line is from the first husband or the second. Rebecca married first Alexander Younger who is the Alexander I told you was from Scotland and willed his brother Andrew property in his will. He died fairly young and Rebecca married Timothy Driscoll. As far as I know, no one has pursued Rebecca in her second marriage to see if she had any children by her second husband. I suspect she did because her children were all pretty young when she was widowed. You need to tell us how you think you are connected and I am sure we can help you.

Wilma, I don't know if anyone has previously asked about Timothy Driscoll, but I thought I would post what I found today. Keep in mind, these dates do not represent one person. One Timothy Driscoll dies in 1716 as you will find, but this may be of use to any Driscoll researcher. Good hunting! -Linda {The misspellings were that of the articles, as is.)

I am a descendent of the Younger/Mills line. My line travels onto Mississippi and is connected with the Welborn group in Jasper Cty. I would like to have the info you have on Rebecca Mills.
