  • Notes 
    • Jacob was the son of Thomas Mills (1740-1799) & Martha Phillips Mills (1740-1799). He was born in VA. He served during the Revolutionary War as an "associater" under Capt. Stites, being under sixteen, in VA. He married Mary Webb (1770-1859) also at a young age in 1786. By 1790, they were living in KY & were counted on the 1st KY Census in 1790. By 1796, they were the first settlers north of Lebanon, Warren Co., OH & by 1809 they were among the first settlers in Greene Co., Ohio. While still in Warren Co., he was elected Major of the Militia. He was also elected the first Justice of the Peace in Miami Twp, Greene, Ohio in 1808. Jacob & Mary had 13 children.

      Another Pioneer Gone. Died at his residence in Miami Township, on 29th ult, Maj. Jacob Mills. The deceased was a native of Virginia-emigrated to this State in 1796, and setled near Waynesville. The same year the first log cabin, for the residence of a white settler, was raised in Greene County. In 1809 he moved to this county where he continued to reside until his death. He has left a wife with whom he lived 61 years, and numberous descendants and friends who will long remember the good old pioneer, who came the country when it was a wilderness, and lived to see it blossum like the rose. He was appointed Major by Governor Tiffin on the first organization of the Militia, and subsequently filled the office of Justice of the Peace for many years. While he was in active public life before the populationof county was so numerous as it is at present he was personally known to all the inhabitants of the county. The old settlers--the advanced guard will well remember their former contemporary, and know his many good qualities. W. (Xenia Torchlight, June 6, 1850)
      (Regarding "29th ult" -- ult means previous month, so he died 29 May 1850)
