KY | Death Date | 1932 NOV 08 Bowling Green, Warren County | Father | Stephen Mills | Born: 1804 FEB 23 | Died: 1885 SEP 28 | Mother | Mary Anne Raley | Born: 1811 JAN 25 ABT | Died: 1856 ABT | Married: 1856 | | Benjamin Thomas Mills Notes: | from: Larry Cummings: What was told to me by my grandfather was that Thomas was Choctaw Indian and was born when the family was being relocated to Oklahoma. His mother died at child birth. His father couldnt take care of a baby while taking the other children to Oklahoma so he left Thomas with a white family in the vicinity of Bowling Green, KY. He was suppose to come back after getting the other children to Oklahoma but never did. My grandfather said this is what was told to him by his father Thomas. My uncle also told me the same story was told to him by his grandfather (Thomas).
Thomas Mills death certificate lists his father as Stephen Mills. This was given by Alva Mills, Dovies half brother who was born in 1884 to Toms second wife It has been reported to me by someone that their was a note on the back of the certificate giving his name as Benjamin Thomas Mills and possibly listing his parents as Stephen and Anne Nancy Raley or at least they had made the connection. I had always been told that Toms father was Benjamin. I wonder if his father is really Stephen and could it be coupled with Benjamin? Dovies certificate just say that father Thomas Mills and was given by Uncle Twain. According to family tradition, Tom Mills was an orphan found at a grist mill at Bowling Green, Kentucky by the mill owner whose first name was Tom. It is believed that Tom Mills was abandoned by Indians that went through that night. He was named Mills because he was found at a mill.
