Apparently he died in Camden Town in 1811, aged 88, the last of the survivors of The Black Hole, and is buried at St Pancras

Other than that others may have an idea for you how to further research him;
I just googled John Mills

Captain John MILLS 1727-1811'
A Biographical Dictionary of Actors, Volume 15, Tibbett to M. ... - Google Books Result
Philip H. Highfill, Kalman A. Burnim, Edward A. Langhans - 1993 - Biography & Autobiography - 384 pages
... the Savoy, on 24 October 1767 Capt John Mills (1727—18 1 1), then a civil servant, one of the survivors of the Black Hole of Calcutta. ...

Info on his Wife Isaballa formerly Mrs Vincent a well know Actress in 1767;
John MILLS (1727-1811) was then a Civil Servant, and one of the survivors of the Black Hole of Calcutta........
If you keep reading on it mentions John and Isabells Children together;
John Wedderburn MILLS
Samuel Thomas MILLS, 15 March 1769
Alfred MILLS 1776-1833, Painter and Engraver
+ a possible Daug Elizabeth.
Possible engravings/portraits exist of them.
