Ridlon: Sarah Millikan, first daughter of William was born in Chester Co., PA as early as 1748-50, but the order of her birth as compared with the other children has not been ascertained. She was married according to the Quaker formula at New Garden Monthly Meeting, Guilford Co., NC., Jan. 28, 1761, to John Mills, son of John and Rachel (Bates) Mills, and resided in her state until 1784, when, with her husband and children, she removed to Lost Creek, now Jefferson County, TN. John Mills was a weaver by trade, and had a mill on his farm for fulling his cloth. He left part of his family at a Quaker settlement in then Greene Co., and with his oldest sons built a cabin about one and a half miles east of the place where Lost Creek sinks under Mahoney Hill. They cleared 10 acres and planted for a crop. William, a son, was hunter and housekeeper. Soon Mrs. Mills and her younger children followed. Their nearest post office was Greenville, 60 miles away. The first meetings of the Quakers in the Lost Creek settlement were held at the cabin of John Mills. He died at Lost Creek and was buried in the graveyard by the Quaker meeting house. Mr. Mills was a pioneer and one of the most useful persons in the settlement. One tradition makes Sarah Millikan Mills death at Lost Creek; another in Indiana. I find in an old letter of date" Lost Creek, Jefferson Co., TN, 19th-10th-1817," the following statement: "Aunt Sarah Mills is in a common state of health; we saw her at meeting today." She had eleven children.
