Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Re: Mills Genealogy from Derbyshire
« on: Thursday 19 April 12 19:07 BST (UK)  »
I am now wondering if the Gilbert Mills who married Susanna Bowyer and was the shipwright in Deptford, Kent did not die in 1686, but actually, immigrated to America at that time and married Agnes Alexander in 1688 and had more children and that the Gilbert Mills who died in 1757 in Augusta was their son Gilbert..Sure wish I could find some records....

I do believe that the marriage of Gilbert Mills and Margaret Ashmore in 1635 still has relevance to our tree. Like I said in the last post that is how I see it basically, right now...but you added a new element to the puzzle that I haven't known...You said that Gilbert was 61 years old when he died...That would make him born in the USA and Gilbert our immigrant parents son maybe?  That would be 4 Gilberts in a row...We never have known the name for sure of the Gilbert who died in 1757, his wife's name...more puzzles....

Most of the trees here in the U.S. Have Gilbert Mills who died 1 Nov. 1757 as the husband of Margaret Ashmore and the son of William Mills and Rachel Gilbert...When I found the  marriage date for Gilbert/Margaret in the Phillimore Parish Records I knew that that research was not right..There are a couple of trees online that said that there were one or two more Gilbert Mill's in between William/Rachel and the Gilbert Mills in Augusta County, Va. who died in 1757. This is the way I believe it goes since I discovered marriage records for all of them online..However, I do not know if they are connected to the Myll Family from Gloucestershire:

William Mills - Rachel Gilbert         1608  Westminster St. George Hanover Square, London, England (IGI)            
Gilbert Mills - Margaret Ashmore  4 Oct. 1635       Duffield, Derbyshire, England (Phillimore Parish Registers)
Gilbert Mills - Susanna Bowyer         20 Feb. 1664    St. Nicholas Cole Abbey, London, London, England (IGI)
Gilbert Mills - Agnes Alexander     10 Oct. 1688     Rappahannock County, Virginia, USA  (Familysearch.org) This would be the Gilbert who died in 1757 in Augusta County, Virginia.

This Myll (Mills) family we think they came from Harescombe, Gloucestershire, England..They lost their land there and I read that some of the family was then in Derbyshire...In Harescombe they were in the St. Nicholas Church Parish...Gilbert Mills who married Susanna Bowyer was a shipwright in Deptford, Kent...I know that there was a William Mills also in Kent...This is as far back as I can go and believe that the records prove it out...

Thanks Spendlove...I did make the mistake on the Duffield and Pentrich...I was trying to remember without getting out my book. I was blessed enough to run across the Phillimore Parish Records about a year ago at Uk Genealogy.com.  I was so excited when I came across this marriage in there.

I haven't been able to connect the family going up the tree from there. I believe that his parents were William Mills and Rachel Gilbert. They have been linked to the family Myll in, "The Visitation of Gloucestershire 1623," but we have no proof that that William is his father and no records on Rachel Gilbert have been found yet. The William I speak of was the son of Edward Myll (Mill) and Mary Mauny. He had a twin brother Anthony who died at birth. So, I guess I am really looking for their marriage records and where they lived? Supposedly, they lost all their land in Gloucestershire and had moved to Derbyshire, but I don't know.....
