  1. 1.  Mary MillsMary Mills was born in 1839 in Canada (daughter of Amasa Chase and Hannah Mills); died between 1866 and 1870.

    Other Events:

    • Reference Number: 6529
    • Residence: 1861, North Dorchester, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada

    Notes:

    The Mary Mills who appears on the 1861 Census in Southwold appears to be a different Mills family.

    Notes by Kristin Schwark on findagrave.com:
    Very little is known of my 3x great grandmother. I was able to connect with someone in North Dorchester, her only confirmed place of residence, and her marriage info was found. Mary Mills & Anson DeGroat wed on September 28, 1857 in Yarmouth, Elgin, Ontario. On the 1861 Census of Canada her estimated birth year was 1839 (Anson's was 1836, but actual year is 1833. I'm calculating that hers may have been fudged as well, at 1836). They had a daughter, Anna (1859). 4 years later, still in Canada, they had Lydia (Aug 1863). The family moved to Goodland, Lapeer, Michigan sometime between September 1863 and May 1866. Their daughter Mary was born there on June 12, 1866. Sometime between Mary Jr's birth, and Anson's next marriage on January 18, 1869, Mary Mills had died or abandoned her children. On the 1870 US Census, the 3 girls were with foster parents. Anna & Lydia were with the Carpenter's, and Mary Jr was with the McConnell's. Michigan death records were not kept formally until beginning in 1867, and fully by 1868. It is my conclusion that Mary did indeed die in Lapeer County. I will keep digging, and not let her slip through the cracks!!

    A few notables from my ONLY record:

    Born abt 1839 in Canada West (possibly fudged like Anson)
    Religion: WM (living with/near Anson's family who were all listed as CPM)

    In my search for Mills in or around North Dorchester (Middlesex County) and their marriage location (Elgin County) on the 1852 Census, I found a Mary Mills, born abt 1835, listed as Baptist, who was NOT living with her parents in 1861. Jesse, Matilda, Mary & siblings were in Southwold, Elgin County. Although the birth years are off (common occurrence), and the religion is different (she may have conformed to Anson), it seems to be the first real possibility I've found to who she is. I hope she didn't abandon these girls, and, I hope her death was not caused by Anson. (He remarried and abandoned a few times). I also thought she may have been buried in the local family plot on Henry Ruiter DeGroat's farm, but there seems to be no record of it. That burial ground was also known as Lum Cemetery, and is now Arcadia Township Cemetery. My guess is she is there with no record or headstone, or was returned to Canada. Her possible parents are in Iona Cemetery, but again, no record of her there either. The family had moved to Lambton County sometime between 1861 and 1871, so she may be buried in Lambton. She was so young and unexpected, they may have just buried her local to their current residence, versus going back to Elgin County, where Iona Cemetery and most of the family are.

    1870 living in residence of Alexander and Phoebe Carpenter. Phebe is the daughter of Abner Chase and Lydia Upton. Also next door on the census is Sharley Wilson, another daughter of Abner and Lydia. Abner and Lydia are quakers in Yarmouth, Elgin County Ontario. We have multiple autosomal dna matches with Abner & Lydia although we do not know the exact relationship. Also both sisters had either a son or grandson of John Mills/Abigail Minard as a witness at their weddings in Canada. We also have multiple autosomal dna matches to John Mills/Abigail Minard, although we do not have the exact line fleshed out. Mary may be a granddaughter to them.

    Based on numerous DNA matches we believe that Amasa Chase was the illegitimate father of Mary Mills. He was living in Yarmouth at the time. Numerous matches show that his DNA goes through Mary Mills line to her descendants. After Mary died, two of her children were 'adopted' by Amasa's sister, Phoebe Carpenter in Lapeer, Michigan. We believe Mary's mother was a child or grandchild of John Mills & Abigail Minard. Again, numerous DNA matches to Mills/Minard come through Mary's line. Mary would have grown up in one of the Mills households. Unfortunately, the 1851 census for the section of Yarmouth that the Mills family lived in is missing. The 1841 census was head of household only, and we cannot identify Mary. The 1861 Census shows Mary living with her husband, Anson Degroat.

    A review of probate records shows that there is no record of probate for Mary or record of conservatorship for any of the children in Lapeer County.

    A probate file at https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89SC-B6MF for Sharley Chase WIlson, daughter of Abner Chase and Lydia Mills refers to Anna Degroat Phelps (daughter of Mary Mills) as her niece. Niece would not be possible, however if Anna Degroat was her grandniece that would mean that a parent of Mary Mills would have been a sibling of Sharley. Thus, Mary Mills would be granddaughter of Abner Chase and Lydia Upton. The 1842 census of Yarmouth https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939D-VQCT-P?i=4&cc=1834342 shows 1 female under the age of 5 in the household of Abner Chase.

    Notes:

    per Canadian Quaker records Abner Chase along with his son Amasa and other children joined the Yarmouth, Ontario congregation in 1835. Based on numerous DNA matches to the Amasa Chase line, the John Mills/Abigail Minard line and the Isaac Huff/Sarah tripp line (all residents of Yarmouth Township) we believe that Amasa Chase was the illegitimate father of Mary Mills. The mother of Mary Mills would then have to be the daughter of James Mills (son of John/Abigial) and Jemima Huff (dau of Isaace Huff/Sarah Tripp). This is the only plausible scenario which explains the huge number of DNA matches to these 3 lines in Yarmouth Township and also explains Mary Mills using the Mills name. It also gives reason as to why Amasa Chase's sister, Phoebe (who lived in Tuscola County, Michign) took in two of Mary's daughters, Anna and Lydia Degroat, after Mary died in Tuscola, Michigan. I have been unable to find any record of a probate action filed in Tuscola County in regards to Mary's three 'orphaned' children. The father of Mary's three children, Anson Degroat, apparently abandoned the children. He remarried and moved to Kent County without them!

    The 3rd daughter Mary ended up in the household of Eli McConnell, who had earlier moved from Yarmouth Township, Ontario to Lapeer County, Michigan.

    Amasa married Hannah Mills. Hannah (daughter of James Mills and Jemima Huff) was born on 12 May 1822 in Yarmouth, Elgin, Ontario, Canada; died on 28 Apr 1856 in Canada; was buried in 1856 in Elgin, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    I have seen 21 Jun for her birthdate. This could be confusion over how Quakers entered dates. 21st day of 3rd month in year 1755. Under the old calender the 3rd month was June. However the old calender was supposed to change to the new calendar in 1752. So 3rd month would be March, unless these Quakeres were still using the old calendar.

    He moved to Yarmouth by 1831 when he purchased 1200 acres, which were later split up between his six sons at 200 acres apiece.

    quote from a message borad post in 2002: Hello Scott, The Kipps are mentioned several times in the book. The book begins with Jonathan Doan acquiring the property around what would be Sparta," Two years later He returned to Pennsylvania and reported so favorably that several heads of families, mostly Quakers, decided to return with him. They were John Kipp, William Harvey, Joseph Albertson, Samuel Scott, and John Mills." This was 1815. The John Kipp house still stands and is now known as the Sanderson House. There is a picture in the book of this house. There are several references to Jessie and Caleb Kipp in the book. I have come upon the Sparta Kipp,s many times in my research of my Mills, Minards, and Issac Moore families. Most of the men in Sparta men joined in the Canadian rebellion of 1837 / 1838, Jonathan Doan's son Joshua was the leader of the Sparta group, My grandfather (David Moore Black born 1887) told many stories of Isaac Moore during this time, Some of the stories are on an audio tape. They were all captured, Doan was hung, Isaac was acquitted, and Caleb Kipp was banished from the province for life. There is a lot of information on this.

    In the 1800 Federal Census we find John Mills in New Paltz. The census has his age between 26 and 45, which fits with an age of approximate 30. The census show 4 males and zero females under the age of 10. We show 3 males and 0 females within that age range. (the number 4 in the males box is indistinct and could conceivably be a one. By comparing it with other 4’s on the page, I believe it to be a 4). There is 1 other Mills in Ulster County on the 1800 census, that is James Mills (incorrectly indexed on ancestry as James Miler) who is in Rochester. His age is over 45.

    Notes:


    Also, FindAGrave has a specific birth date on son James in Dutchess County 20 Aug 1793 and on son Cornelius in Junius 16 Oct 1795. I have no confirmation of either place or either date.
    We do have a Quaker document which states brother Samuel was born in Esopus, Ulster County, NY in 1797.

    In the 1800 Federal Census we find John Mills in New Paltz. The census has his age between 26 and 45, which fits with an age of approximate 30. The census show 4 males and zero females under the age of 10. We show 3 males and 0 females within that age range. (the number 4 in the males box is indistinct and could conceivably be a one. By comparing it with other 4’s on the page, I believe it to be a 4). There is 1 other Mills in Ulster County on the 1800 census, that is James Mills (incorrectly indexed on ancestry as James Miler) who is in Rochester. His age is over 45.

    From the Marlborough Monthly Meeting: 24 Oct 1810 John Mills and wife Abigail of New Paltz, NY requested certificate of removal to the Adolphus Monthly meeting in Upper Canada.
    From the Adolphus Monthly Meeting of women: 21 Mar 1811 The certificate from the Marlborough Meeting for Abigail Mills is accepted.
    From the Adolphus Monthly Meeting of women:18 Jan 1816. Abigail Mills and her husband John requested a certificate of removal to the Junious (NY) Monthly meeting
    From the Norwich (Hicksite) Meeting of women: 22 May 1820 Abigail Mills, wife of John Mills has her certificate of removal from the Junius (NY) Monthly Meeting accepted by the Norwich (Canada) Meeting.
    From the Norwick Monthly Meeting of women: May 1830 Abigail Mill's name appears on a membership list.

    ASSESSMENT OF THE TOWNSHIP OF HALLOWELL FOR

    THE YEAR 1808.

    Commencing the 7th March, 1808, and ending the 6th March, 1809.

    The following, copied from an old Hallowell assessment list,
    cannot fail to impress readers, especially young readers, of
    to-day. The very names must be dear to all who are
    descendants of tbe former landholders, while the proportions of
    cleared and uncleared land at the date of the assessment should
    prove of considerable interest.

    In addition to the figures here copied the roll contains
    columns headed houses; round logs; square timber, one storey and fire-places;
    square timber, two storeys and fire-places; framed, under two storeys;
    brick or stone, one storey, with fire-places; grist mill, run by
    water, and additional pair of stones; wind mill; saw mill;
    merchant shop; store houses; horses ; oxen; cows; cattle;
    swine; stills ; billiard tables; vessels of eight tons, etc.
    There were 101 round log houses, 3 of square timber, 28 framed
    under two storeys, 1 brick or stone, 1 saw mill, 2 merchant shops,
    146 horses, 105 oxen, 384 cows, 5 cattle, 90 swine, no stills,
    no billiard tables, no boats of eight tons, and no wind mills.

    Isaac Garrett, Aaron White, Thos. Bowerman, Henry Young, Arthur Elsworth
    and another Harry Young had four horses each, all the rest fewer,
    Widow Dugal and Silas Hill had each two yoke of oxen, but the widow
    had also a span of horses, while Silas had none. Ten cattle and
    six cows were owned by Thomas Bowerman, and these, with a yoke
    of oxen, four horses, and two swine made him the largest stock
    owner in the township.

    Among the largest landholders were Gideon Bowerman, with 1,500 acres;
    Ebenezar Washburn, with 1,150; James Blakely, with 1,740;
    Barret Dyer, with 1,900, and Silas Hill, with 955 acres.
