Hi Lucretia,
I have a copy of that census record and I think that the Thomas listed there may be the same as the older brother of Stephen Mills, who is my ancestor. My father listed this Thomas Mills as having been born in 1797, which would make him 53 in 1850. That?s very close to the age listed in the census and the birth year is likely to be a typo or an error on Dad?s part. Stephen, Thomas, and their father John were all listed in the 1840 Washington County census as heads of households. Thomas and Stephen are both listed as heirs of John Mills on an estate paper dated Dec. 4, 1850, and a T.H. Baker was listed as a commissioner of the will. I try to be careful about drawing conclusions, but it seems likely that Thomas Mills?s daughter and Thomas Baker?s son could have been married. Sorry I don?t have anymore information on Martha.
