Individual Notes
• A minor in 1746 when he chose Edward Nash of Norwalk, Conn., to be his guardian upon the death of John Mills III. A farmer living in Stamford at the time of the Amer. Rev.
Arrived at St. John, NB on the Two Sisters with wife and 7 children. In 1784 moved to NS, where sons received land grants on R. Remsheg.2139, p 3
• Mills, John. Loyalist; Cumberland Co. 1784 (391:43).2127, p 433
• From Southampton, N. S. Township Records, we find that Jesse was son of John and Sarah Mills said to be from Stamford (CT) in New England. We already know that there was a line of John Mills (Barbour Collection: CT Vital Records, Stamford 1641-1852) living in the Stamford area since 1702 or earlier, so why would we not assume that John originally came from Stamford rather than Bedford?2137
• His [Jesse] parents were listed on the town books as “John and Sarah Mills of ‘Hanford’ in New England.” “Hanford” did prove to be “Stamford,” but it was just the start of making adjustments and interpretations.2139, p 3
• See David Mills and John Mills of Cumberland Co., Nova Scotia, circa 1784 for discussion of possible relationship of David and John.2129 And further discussion postulating John as son of Zachariah Mills and his second wife, Martha Miller.2862, p 6
• His line not continued in Mills Ancestry.2863, p 2 Perhaps the same man as John, b 1724 in Mills Ancestry.2121, pp 6-7
