Descendants of John Mills

Generation No. 1

1. JOHN¹ MILLS was born Abt. 1610 in assuming he was a young servant when he made his early voyage to New England ¹, and died Bef. March 8, 1663/64². He married SARAH Abt. 1642 ³.

Notes for JOHN MILLS:
ancestry.com's online database "Robert Charles Anderson. The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633
[database online] Provo, UT: Ancestry.com, 2000. Original data: Robert Charles Anderson. The
Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633, vols. 1-3. Boston, MA: New
England Historic Genealogical Society, 1995" states:
JOHN MILLS

ORIGIN: Unknown
EDUCATION: Witnessed deed by mark [YLR 2:153].
ESTATE: On 12 February 1693/4 "John Mills now resident at Boston" deeded to "my natural
brother James Mills now resident in the town of Sandwich ... fourscore acres of my upland & forty
acres of salt marsh ... at a place called Black Point alias Scarborough ... & is part of that land &
meadow ground or marsh which formerly did belong unto my honored father John Mills late of
Scarborough now deceased" [YLR 9:4-5].

COMMENTS: On 8 September 1640 John Mills deposed that "he hath known the river which runs
by Mr. Arthur Mackworthe's house called by the name of Casco River for some thirteen or fourteen
years gone or thereabout" [Trelawny Papers 231]. On 25 June 1641 John Mills deposed that "he
came out of England with Mr. Winter some 8 years since or thereabout as his servant, and that Mr.
Cleeve was then paling the field at Spurwinke" [Trelawny Papers 266]. (We assume here Mills was
present in New England in 1626-7 on a fishing or trading expedition, and that his residence did not
begin until he came with JOHN WINTER in 1633.)
On 2 July 1662 George Garland was presented for "frequenting Sarah Mills her house after
warning given," and Sarah Mills was presented for "entertaining George Garland after sufficient
warning given" [MPCR 2:119]. On 7 November 1665 "George Garland & Sarah Mills" were indicted
for "incontinency, living together without being lawfully married, and the said Garland being
suspected of having a wife in England" [MPCR 1:238], and on 1 October 1667 they were ordered to
be married within one month [MPCR 1:333-34]. These records are more likely for the widow of
John Mills than for his daughter of the same name, as the unmarried daughter would be less likely to
have a residence of her own. (If George Garland was consorting with the elder Sarah Mill, then John Mills had died by 1662.)
