  • 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.
