Notes:

                   The Kansas Genealogical Society found the following Census in Pike
    County, Missouri:
    Mills,     Richard      38   M   Blacksmith   TN
               Delila         37   F                     TN
      ***   Robert H.   17   M   Laborer       TN
              Josiah A.    13   M                      IN
              William A.   10   M                      IN
              Samuel G.    8   M                      IN
              Esther J.           F                      MO
The above census would place Robert H. Mills as born in Tennessee in
    1833.  This is consistent with 1) The 1865 Bourbon County Census, 2) The birth
    date in the Mills family Bible.

I found another Robert Mills that was born in Tennessee. The 1850
    census in Jefferson County, Tennessee gave the following:
    Mills, William      37   M  Farmer     TN
    ***    Robt.     18   M  Laborer    TN
             John      16   M                 TN
             Eliza       11   F                  TN
             Porter      6   M                 TN
             Hannah    4   F                  TN

The above census would place Robert's birth in 1832.
    I believe the first census is the correct Mills family. I still
    need to confirm this. I will send for Robert H. Mills death certificate.

   According to the family Bible, he died 3 March 1901. He most likely
    died in Kansas or Missouri.
