Elizabeth Mills married John Paskin (1770-1853) in 1801 and immigrated to South Africa to be with her sister Harriett Batson Mills (1785-1845) who was born Rodborough, Gloucester and married Daniel Roberts (1781-1844) after 1801. Searching for details to a) confirm Elizabeth's birth in Gloucester to Samuel (?) & unknown about 1782, and, b) Elizabeth's death date & place. Just to avoid duplication of effort, Elizabeth and John sailed to the Cape in 1826 to join Harriet and Daniel, who were 1820 settlers. Harriet Batson Mills married Daniel Roberts on 27 July 1801 in St.George's Bloomsbury and her sister Elizabeth Mills married John Paskin in the same church on 26 October 1801. It is confirmation of the Rodborough connection that Leigh is after. - https://www.british-genealogy.com/archive/index.php/t-74029.html?s=...
