Betty,
I have been trying to find my Jane Mills for 20plus years.I know as fact that she was married to my great grandfather and was living in Owsley County KY in the 1870 Census.She is listed as being 25yrs old from Virginia.My Gr, Grandfather, Alfred Briant(Bryant) her husband at this time came from virginia as well.The reason I zeroed in on this Jane Mills is because she came from the same area in VA as did Alfred and other members of Alfred's family.
This Jane Mills at the age of 5 is living with the William T. Wells family in wise cty, VA. wise county was developed out of Lee Ct. Jane is still in the same house hold at the age of 16 in 1860.Then all of a sudden she is gone and so are all of the Briants(Bryant).Then I found them in KY.
I don't know for sure if this is my Jane or not??All I know is they came from the same area and disappeared during the same time.I have no idea why she was with the Wells family, although I do have info to show that William T. Wells may have been a minister of some type.Maybe he just took her into his home due to a death of parents or something.I don't know.Fanmily lore(MY father and aunts) claim they were always told that Jane was a Cherokee Indian left on some ones door step years ago??She had very long black hair and Indian features.All of my father's brothers had very high cheek bones and looked like they were of indian decent as well.
What we need to do is follow the Wells family forward or back and see where she came in and left.If this helps any and I hope it does, please let me know.
Thanks Jeff
