Origins

Mrs. Mills died Dec. 10, 1675, aged 80 years. Mr. Mills died in 1678. In his will, he speaks of having "now fallen into years." Judging from the language of ardent piety used in the introduction, he was an eminently good man. He mentions his son John, and his daughters Mary Hawkins and Susannah Davis. He recommends his son John to bring up one of his sons to the work of the ministry, which was, he says, " the employment of my predecessors to the third, if not the fourth generation."
