MILLS

 

 

My Great great grandfather was Thomas Mills (b. 1836 in Marion Co. KY)
Thomas married Elizabeth Stichen Cowles (b. apr 3rd 1837 in Kentucky)
 

Thomas's father was Benjamin Mills, there is not alot that I know about him, but the rumor is his wife was an Indian. Many of the Runner, Sullivans, and Mills that descended from this branch of Mills have dark skin, high cheekbones that seem to have an American Indian influence.

 

Thomas and Nancy (Sturdivant) Mills

Descendants of William C Mills

1. WILLIAM C1 MILLS He married MARY JANE PLANT, daughter of WILLIAMSON PLANT and FRANCES WATTS. She was born 05 Nov 1784 in Hanover County, Virginia, and died 24 Jan 1869 in Bond County, Illinois.

Generation No. 2

2. STEPHEN2 MILLS (WILLIAM C1) was born 23 Feb 1804 in Kentucky, and died 28 Sep 1885 in Indian Creek, Monroe County, Missouri. He married (2) BELINDA A. PIERCEALL, daughter of JOSEPH PIERCEALL and ELIZABETH ABELL. She was born 14 Jun 1813 in Marion County, Kentucky. He married (3) MARY ANNE "NANCY" RALEY 14 Jan 1829 in Calvary, Washington County, Kentucky, daughter of JOHN RALEY and ELIZABETH SPALDING. She was born Abt. 25 Jan 1811 in Washington County, Kentucky, and died Abt. 1856.

Notes for STEPHEN MILLS:

According to family tradition, Stephen and Ann Mills left their children with friends while they travelled west to find a new homestead and were never heard from again.

Another story says Stephen departed Marion County, Kentucky and left his wife and children behind. Anne, not being able to care for all of the children, divided them among friends and family members to raise. Thomas Mills went to stay with Israel Cannon, who then moved to Warren County, Kentucky.

Yet another story suggests that Stephen Mills went to Oklahoma and wrote a letter back and said he had arrived safely and that he would come back for Thomas, but they never heard from him again.

 

Anna and Stephen Mills were members of the Holy Name of Mary Church Parish in Calvary, Marion County, Kentucky from at least 1831-1834.

According to Jane Thomas, Secretary of Marion County, Kentucky Historical Society, Stephen and Anna had two more children: Amanda born about 1834 who lived with Catherine Abell in 1850 Marion County, Kentucky census, and Nancy who was born about 1836 and living with Ignatius and Catherine Mills. Also there is the possibility of a son named Joseph born about 1835. He was living with Cornelius Raley in 1850 Marion County, Kentucky census.

Notes for BENJAMIN THOMAS MILLS:

Thomas Mills death certificate lists his father as Stephen Mills. This was given by Alva Mills, Dovie's

half brother who was born in 1884 to Tom's second wife

It has been reported to me by someone that their was a note on the back of the certificate giving

his name as Benjamin Thomas Mills and possibly listing his parents as Stephen and Anne Nancy Raley or at least they had made the connection. I had always been told that Tom's father was Benjamin. I wonder if his father is really Stephen and could it be coupled with Benjamin?

Dovie's certificate just say that father Thomas Mills and was given by Uncle Twain.

According to family tradition, Tom Mills was an orphan found at a grist mill at Bowling Green, Kentucky by the mill owner whose first name was Tom. It is believed that Tom Mills was abandoned by Indians that went through that night. He was named Mills because he was found at a mill. A "Tom Mill" used a large "hammer" to pound the grain. He was supposed to have been taken in and raised by a Wingfield family. This story appears to be incorrect, but widely spread. Mae Cowles of Bowling Green, Kentucky, Brent Mills Bledsoe of Brownsville, Kentucky and Hal D. Dinwiddie of Fairdale, Kentucky had also heard versions of this story. Jack L. Flowers reports that he had always been told that Tom Mills was an Indian

Notes for BERNARD MILLS:

Bernard Mills is believed to have died around 1869 after the birth of his son William Thomas Mills, because in the 1870 census of Monroe County, Missouri, we find Mary Luisa and her two sons living back with her father and his other children and Bernard is not included.

Notes for THOMAS VAN MILLS:

Known as TV Mills.

My grandmother (87) and grandfather Mills (85) (age at death - my recollection) are both buried in Smithgrove cemetery. At Smith Grove KY. He died in 1965 and she died Jan. 1, 1960. From what I have heard, just after they married, they sharecropped for 23 years on the Johnny Cole Place that was just north of the Davenport farm on 31W north of Bowling Green. In his early fifties when he was worried that the land owners would not lease to him any more he bought his farm on the knob owned by Duncan's now. TV Mills, farmed all his life and my dad and he frequently worked together. My Dad owned a farm about a mile from his (now Aubrey Mills Road) and Patricia and Harold Watt now live on the road. At age 79 he decided to retire since he had some heart pains one day when he was out running down a young cow to get her in the barn for the evening. He decided he would go and talk to social security since he had regularly paid SS every year for many years. Since they did not have any birth records of his birth, they finally found a man in Brownsville who was 93 that remembered when he was born. He also walked everywhere he went unless my dad drove him since he did not own a car. He regularly walked to the WA Cowles grocery on 31W about 3 times a week to get bacon flower and white loaf bread. He always drank a coke at the store and picked up a block of Bull Durham chewing tobacco. I guess he used a small block about every two or three days. He milked his own cows and had chickens for eggs and meat. I was 12 when my grandmother died and I stayed every night for the next 18 months with him since he was having occasional chest pains. He loved to listen to WCKY out of Cincinnati on the radio each evening since they told jokes and played bluegrass music. It was out of range during the day not that he would have ever been in the house listening during the day anyway. He listened to WKCT Bowling Green for local news and weather and the Baptist hour at 4:00 PM each day.

I learn to walker a little and my wheel chair. So far I made most of the winter with my hired help. I hope when it warm up I can get some better. I had go back in hospital 5 Dec., then I went to Louisville. I had the best bone doctor in state. He said I wasn't healing right. He taken a 4 1/2 pin out my knee. I have two more and lots of small. I think another is working out. My left arm from shoulder to elbow is crush. That is giving most trouble. My right arm was broke. I can use it, but weak. I have a woman come two day week and clean house or anything I need done. We are still holding on to the store to try to keep my husband from going crazy. My daughter, Juanita been with me in the store for 4 years. They got a woman to take my place. She very good. She does most work. Wa won't agree on that. My oldest girl husband had heart attack the 18. He went to his brother's funeral and was caught in that snow. I know I seen it on TV in Ohio, had a attack and died. I went to Louisville Thursday. Come back same day. Margie's youngest boy is 17 year old. My grand--- take me up. I have 3 wonderful girl a-Sindows. Juanita has two girl. Is so good to me I don't know I do without Debbe. I am getting so tire I not writing very good so I try finish tomarrow.

I am back again. My arthritis is hurting me so bad I take everything and sometimes nothing helps.

Mills as far as I knew.

Tom Mills I was always told by my Aunt Mag, Gentry Cowles wife, Tom Mills was found by a grist mill where meal and flour was ground in them days. The owner found him. I never knew who he was, but his first name was Tom, and they give him Mills because they found him there. That as far back as he goes. A bunch of indians went thro that night, so they believe him to be a indian baby. He married a Cowles, had 3 boys, 1 girl. I know that bunch when I see them. I was very young then. All have passed on. More younger. I don't know any of the younger one. I will ask around this summer on more. I think your Grandfather was John Mills.

I am so forgettable any more. I am 73. There were George, John, and Joe. I forget which one was who. So I always said I was part indian. See Beulah, say hello to all for me.

Your cousin in KY,

Mae Cowles
