Notes

Note N180Found Benjamin and Dorcus in the 1860 census in Tuscaloosa Co., AL. Ben is listed as being a farmer with real estate owned at the value of 00.00 and personal estate of ,015.00. It also states that their son James has real estate at the value of 0.00. 1

Found Benjamin and Dorcus in the 1850 census in Tuscaloosa Co., AL. Ben is listed as being a farmer with real estate owned at the value of 0.00. 1 Benjamin listed in the 1840 census in Tuscaloosa Co., AL. He is listed next to who I believe to be his brother. 1

From the notes 'Eight Generations of the Family of Henry Fox (1768-1852) and His Wife, Sarah Harrell Fox (1772-1848), of South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi' by William D. McCain Volume II: 1

The family of Dorcas Fox Mills (13) was listed in the census of 1850 of District 2, Tuscaloosa County, Ala., December 5, 1850, dwelling house No. 509, family No. 509, pp. 456 and 453, as follows:

B. S. Mills, 45, m, farmer, GA.

Darcus Mills, 32, f, Tenn.

James H. Mills, 16, m, Ala.

Sarah E. Mills, 13, f, Ala.

Milton J. Mills, 10, m, Ala.

George W. Mills, 9, m, Ala.

Nancy T. Mills, 8, f, Ala.

Martha Mills, 6, f, Ala.

Dorcus Mills, 3, f, Ala. 1

The census records are difficult to read. It would appear that the husband of Dorcas Fox was B. S. Mills. The census taker spelled her name as Darcus Mills and her daughter's name as Dorcus Mills. It would appear that the twins Eliza and Elisha Mills, died early. George W. Mills seems to have been left out of the family records. 1 census of 1860 of the Western Division of Tuscaloosa County, Ala., July 24, 1860, dwelling house No. 279, family No. 226, p. 639, listed the family of Dorcas Fox Mills as follows:

Benagy Mills, 52, m, farmer, GA.

Darkis Mills, 46, f, Tenn.

James M. Mills, 21, m Ala.

Martha H. Mills, 15, f, Ala.

Darkis Mills, Jr., 12, f, Ala.

Ionia Mills, 9, f, Ala.

Benjamin J. Mills, 6, m, Ala.

Harriet Mills, 3, f, Ala.

Georgia Mills, 8/12, f, Ala. 1

The census of 1860 of Tuscaloosa County, Ala., is very difficult to read. The names of Ionia Mills, Harriet Mills, and Georgia Mills are not clear in the manuscript. The fact might be noted that the post office of the Mills family was Crossland. 1 census of 1870 of Lewisville, Denton County, Tex., August 24, 1870, dwelling house No. 55, family No. 55, p. 196, listed the family of Dorcas Fox Mills as follows:

Dorcus Mills, 54, f, keeping house, Tenn.

Milton J. Mills, 29, m, farmer Ala.

Charity Mills, 18, f, attending school Ala.

Jordan Mills, 16, m, works on farm Ala.

Harriet Mills, 13, f, attending school Ala.

Gerae Ann Mills, 10, f attending school Ala.

The last daughter listed certainly must have been Georgia Ann Mills. 1
