The Family of James Albert Mills and Sarah Margania Gore

James Albert Mills (b.1853, d.1919) was married to Sarah Margania Gore (b.1860, d.1935). James Mills was born in Columbus County, North Carolina.

In the 1880 Census, James, Sarah, and "Nettie" are living in Lees, Columbus, North Carolina. James works on a farm and Sarah is keeping house.

In the 1900 Census, The Mills family is living in Rockfish, Cumberland Co., North Carolina. All seven children are living with them. 
Annette Virginia Mills 1878 – 1973 (my 2nd great grandmother)
Joanna Mills 1882 –
James Walter Mills 1883 –
Dora M Mills 1885 –
Aaron Bishop Mills 1889 – 1966
Edgar Dozier Mills 1891 – 1967
Scottie Belle Mills 1894 – 1977

In the 1910 Census, The Mills moved to Williams, Columbus Co., North Carolina. Living in the house are James, Sarah, Joanna, Aaron, Edgar, and Scottie.

James and Sarah Mills are buried at Mount Siani Baptist Church Cemetery in Clarendon, NC. 

Here are some pictures of their children. India Moore White wrote the names on the back of each photo.

James Walter Mills (Uncle Walter) --Based on the other pictures and the ages of the children, I believe that this could be Edgar Dozier Mills. Walter Mills would have been around 17 at the time of this picture (1899-1900).

Aaron Bishop Mills (Uncle Bish)

Scottie Belle Mills (Aunt Scotty)

Joanna Mills (JoAnna Mills Harrelson)

Joanna  appears in 1920 in Tabor City, NC. Here is a picture of her two children and her in front of their home.

Aunt Evie Moore (b. 1883)

Evie Moore was born in 1883 in North Carolina. She is the daughter of William David and Frances Moore. She is the sister to William Edgar Moore (2nd great grandfather).

In 1900, the Moore family was living in Durham, NC in the "Industry of Durham". William Edgar and Evie were both working in the cotton mill. I have not been able to track any additional records.


India White wrote "Aunt Evie" on back of this photo.
