Samuel Mills

The most elderly confirmed ancestor of the Mills line

The Crest of The Mills

It all began in the year 1620 or at least that is the farthest back we have been able to find records of. The year 1620 was the year when Samuel Mills was born. After this moment we do not know what happened in Samuel’s life until March 11, 1644 when he got married to Frances Pembroke.

But it was a year after his marriage when his life actually got interesting. Because just twenty-five years after the Mayflower landed in Plymouth Rock, Samuel Mills arrived in Massachusetts.  The year was 1645.

After he arrived, he and his wife had several children, one of whom was Benjamin Mills.  On January 7, 1694 when Samuel Mills died of old age.
