Text:
from Hempstead, Long Island, NY
Came from Yorkshire, England in 1630.
Follower of Rev. Richard Denton. Some researchers call George a Reverend also. He was conservative as records of Jamaica NY indicate one of 17 underwriters of Jamaica in 1656. If he did follow Denton, then this was his route in America:
1. arrived 1630 with Winthrop's fleet (eldest son b. 1631 in MB)
2. 1635 rem to Wethersfield
3. 1641 rem to Stamford Ct
4. 1644 rem to Hempstead LI, NY (in 1656 Geo. sold his lands in Hempstead)
5. 1656 rem to Jamaica // 1659 Denton returned to England leaving his many sons behind.
16 Feb 1656 Granted home lot in Hempstead.
10 Mar 1656 Name appears on petition for grant in Jamaica, NY.
25 Nov 1656 Granted home lot in Jamaica, NY.
Torrey gives last residence as Jamaica, Long Island. Cites Phillips 36 and Keeler-Wood 90 as his sources.
George Mills was one of the founders of Jamaica, Long Island, New York, and at the first Town Meeting held there February 18, 1656, was granted a home lot.
A statement has been made that he was born in 1585 and died in Jamaica October 17, 1674, but the Town Records do not confirm it.
Among the early settlers of Jamaica L. I. was George Mills born in 1585 [sic] and died aged 89, Oct. 17, 1674 at Jamaica. He was probably a descendant of John Mills who was made freeman of Boston in 1632.
Witness our hands this 11th day of February, 1661. Stylo novo.
Nath. Denton Andrew Messenger
George Mills
24 Mar 1682. He writes his "will."
On March 24, 1681/2, is the first and only mention we have of his wife. He states that "my wife Rebecca, shall enjoy my dwelling house and home lot and orchard during her life time, if it please God that she shall live longer than I...p 10p 2p 9p 90-1p 105p 9p 90
