Janet_Harms_Mills on Family Tree Circles

I am married to Joseph Cicero Morrell Mills II.

I have a great deal of information about John Auburn Mills, but not about his forebears. He married Cora Addington, and they had five offspring (not in order of birth, exactly):

John Addington Mills
John Cicero Mills
Freddye Mills (f.)
Carolyn Mills (f.)
Joseph Cicero Morrell Mills

According to my husband's father's research, there was a connection to the family of June Carter. He also had a set of pressed glass berry bowls, passed down to us, which were purported to have belonged to "Senator Mills", although I haven't been able to track down who this may have been.

Any information regarding John Auburn Mills (and his siblings and forebears) would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
