New Garden records show that Charity, daughter of Hur Mills, married at New Garden in 1786 Peter Dillon, who was born in 1725.
That means that she had regained her membership in Quaker Church, but the loss of the New Garden Monthly Meeting women's minutes before 1790 makes it impossible to know when.
Charity was still living when Peter Dillon made his will in 1796, which Benoni Mills Benoni Mills witnessed.
