Henry Mills was received at Cane Creek Monthly Meeting in Orange County, North Carolina, on 9/1/1753. His certificate was a joint one with brothers Thomas, John, & Hur and was dated 5/7/1753 at Hopewell Monthly Meeting in Virginia. Henry's father had transferred from Hopewell on 8/1/1752.
Henry, Thomas, John & Hur Mills would have been automatically transferred to New Garden when it was set up in 1754 and they are mentioned as part of the original membership. Henry & Hannah Mill's children are documented at New Garden Monthly Meeting as their membership was automatic when New Garden was set up in 1754. Henry Mills was part of the original membership of Deep River in Guilford County when that meeting was set up in 1778 so no doubt had lived in the area that became Guilford County the entire time. Deep River was located in the western part of Guilford County, about 12 miles from Greensboro. Daughter Sarah Mills was married at Deep River Monthly Meeting "Tarlton Johnson, son of Charles Johnson, of Amelia County, Virginia, and Sarah Mills, daughter of Henry Mills, of Roan Co., N.
