• Notes

  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. In a will written in July 1883 (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89SC-B6MF) ( image 107 and image 111) by Sharley (Chase) Carpenter (sister of Phoebe Carpenter and brother of Amasa Chase), Sharley referred to her "niece Anna Maria Phelps" and on another page referred to her "niece Anna Mariah Phelps". Sharley also lived next door to Phoebe at the time. (The correct term should have been grandniece.) The other children of Mary Mills are not mentioned.
