CAPTAIN NATHANIEL MILLS CHAPTER
Captain Nathaniel Mills Chapter was founded on November 15, 1962
by Organizing Regent, Mrs. Martin D. Wolfe. Captain Nathaniel Mills was her
patriot ancestor so the chapter was named in honor of him.
BIOGRAPHICAL DATA - CAPTAIN NATHANIEL MILLS
Nathaniel Mills was born in 1750 in Hanover County, Virginia, son
of Charles Mills and Ann Jackson and a 5th generation descendent of
Nicholas Mills, Sr., who was in New Kent County, Virginia, as early as
1687. He was also a 5th generation descendent of William Clopton, third son
of the Clopton family of Suffolk, England, and first of his family to come
to America. He was a 6th generation descendent of Robert Booth of
"Belleville" in Gloucester County, Virginia.
The Mills family was not particularly a "military-minded" family and did
not follow the dictates of war except when their rights were encroached
upon, they did fight. They were of landed gentry and for the most part
managed their plantations, but in time of peril, like all true Americans,
they "joined the fight" when our liberties were imperiled.
In 1769, Nathaniel purchased land in Orange and moved there. On October
22, 1771, he married Frances Thompson, daughter of William and Margaret
Thompson of Hanover County, Virginia.
At the beginning of the American Revolution, Nathaniel Mills was
recommended by Orange County Court for a Captaincy and was commissioned as
a Captain of Militia for that county on February 27, 1771. He served during
the entire war.
Captain Mills died in Orange County, Virginia, on December 27, 1815 as
recorded in the Douglas Register. His wife, Frances, preceded him in death
by six days, having passed away on December 21, 1815. They left ten
children.
