"WILLIAM MILLS, one of the pioneers of Cynthian Township, was born in New Jersey in 1790. In 1810 he married Elizabeth Clark, who was born the same year as that of her husband. In 1822 they emigrated to Warren County, Ohio, where they remained about three years. Then, in 1825, they settled in this township on the farm now owned by Henry Sweigart, of Newport. On this farm was started the old town of Cynthian, which has long since become extinct. Mr. and Mrs. Mills had born to them seven children. His wife died in 1831. He shortly afterward married Joanna Flinn. By this union there was one child born. Mr. Mills died Feb. 8., 1873."
