no relation to him. (He may be the father of Elizabeth.) In 1844, Elizabeth Smith moved from N. C. (where she had lived since 1832 with her two sons) to Va., "where she was born," as one of her sons, John W., had just died and his widow wished to go back to Va., but in 1849, Elizabeth went back to N. C. to be with her only remaining son (Charles R.), where she was living in 1855, aged 91 years. Reuben enlisted in April or May, 1779, under Capt. Tarleton Payne, then again under Capt. Gray; then went to S. C. and was put under Capt. Robert (?) Beal; he was there, at Charleston, at the time it was taken, but escaped. His service in all was ab. 18 months.-GEn. Ed.

1724. STOCKTON.-There is a book called "The Stockton Family," by J. W. Stockton, for sale by Gustave Anjou, 116 Nassau St., N. Y. City. Price $1.00.

1559. SIMMONS.-Joel Simmons, pensioner (see S. F. 17677), was raised in Orange Co. It is possible that the records of that Co. may assist E. H. in her search.

1565. MILLS.-There was a George Mills, a Rev. soldier, who was pensioned in 1818, from New York, but he lived in Saratoga Co. and served in Rev. from Chesterfield, Mass. He m. Martha Gray in 1788, in Hampshire Co., Mass.; moved to Galway, Montgomery Co., N. Y., then to Saratoga Co. and d. at Broadalbin, June 18, 1826. His widow also received a pension (see W. F. 23981). As George Mills, the ancestor of P. B. H., was not born until 1765, and “lived long," it is probable that he served in the War of 1812, and not in the Rev. for he was not a pensioner.—Gen. Ed.
