Biography
Experience ("Esseverance" some records) was born in 1787. LI Genealogy and the source cited below do not have her parents. However, many sources, including the two mentioned, have possibly conflated Esseverance b.1787 with a possible sibling Experience b.1777; the issue is not clarified in any other documents found to date. The two may in fact be the same person, with a simple dating error.
The 1870 Census has an intriguing entry for a George M. Davis, in which the name Experience Davis is again associated. ["United States Census, 1870", database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MN76-HDY : 18 March 2020), George M Davis, 1870.]

Notes
Geni.com [4] suggests:
- DoB 22 Jan 1787
- DoD Jan 1876
- Father - Zophar Mills 1740 - ?
- Mother - Deliverance Miller 1747-1818
The same information appears in Long Island Surnames [5].
It is quite apparent that the book "Genealogies of Long Island Families" , 1919, is the source of the information at Geni.com, and as it has been shown to be based on actual town records, can be relied upon for this profile as well.
