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.
