H married Amanda MILLS on 28 Aug 1891 in , Nacogdoches, Texas, USA. Amanda (daughter of John MILLS and Martha ALDRIDGE) was born on 7 Jan 1858 in , Nacogdoches, Texas, USA; died on 25 Apr 1930 in , Rusk, Texas, USA; was buried on 25 Apr 1930 in , Rusk, Texas, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• death certificate: 26 Apr 1930; I.R.A. Mills of Henderson
• Obituary: 29 Apr 1930, Henderson, Rusk, Texas, USA; Henderson Times

Notes:

I found a marriage record in Nac for Amanda Mills to H Marsill Horney, 28 Aug 1891, but no more records for Marsill and Amanda (nor Mashall or Marcel). Ira/Arrie's death certificate lists his name as Morris.

In 1900, Mandy and Dixie Mills are living with Anna and James Pierce, her sister. There is also a John Mills who may be John Hiram, Alvy's son. According to the 1900 census, she was married 8 years (1892), then in 1930, she was widowed.

I found a marriage record in Nac for Amanda Mills to R C Clifton, 5 Aug 1903, but I find no other entries for R C and Amanda.

There is a Mandy Honey (age 60) on the 1910 Census in Laneville with a 17 year old daughter named Dixie Honey.

In 1920, Mandy Mills is living with Arrie and JG Clifton and their two children, listed as mother-in-law. Dixie isn't with them. In 1930, Arie and Jack Clifton are still in Nac with six children.

The obit has her listed incorrectly as Ira's mom. I found no Ira Mills with Amanda as his mother so I am assuming this is my Ira and his sister OR this is Arrie "Ira" Clifton.

If Mandy is buried at Crim's Chapel, it is either an unmarked grave or she has a different last name. Her county death record is under Amanda Mills and reported by Ruben Armstrong, Ira's son-in-law, my grandpa. Our Mandy was living with Ira on 11 Apr 1930 for the census. Her death certificate was signed by IRA Mills of Henderson and lists her parents as J M Mills and Martha Aldridge and says she was divorced.

Did she marry a Mills? There is a Mills family in Panola county at the same time and using the same given names but not connected [yet] to our guys.

Taking all these bits and pieces, I believe our Mandy married Marsill/Morris Horney/Harney/Haney/Honey/Honea in 1891 and probably divorced [or separated from] him around 1900. She has at least one daughter, Ira/Arrie, possibly two - Dixie. Arrie married the Clifton. My dad told me we are related to some Cliftons through his mom and this could be that link. Are Arrie and Dixie the same person? If they aren't, where was Arrie for the 1900 Census?

John L Mills was a pastor in Shelby County, Texas.

"I, Ruby Rains Little, married Virgil H. Little, son of George Robert Little and Hettie Rainwater Little, lifetime residents of Rusk County, Wood Glen Community. It is said that the Rainwaters and Rains were originally of the same family and part Indian. My grandfather, John Duncan Rains of Shelby County, had a sister named America. She married Marcus Mills, grandfather and grandmother of John Mills of Rusk County."

Either Hannah or Mandy married a CLIFTON?

Notes:

Drewry Jr. ALDRIDGE was married to Edith HARDY about 1786 in Dobbs County, North Carolina. Edith HARDY was born in 1768 in Dobbs County, North Carolina. She died before 1810 in Greene County, North Carolina. Drewry, Jr. ALDRIDGE and Edith HARDY had the following children:
i. Drewry, III. ALDRIDGE was born about 1787 in Dobbs County, North Carolina. He died in Texas. Moved to Texas via Ga with brothers Lemuel and Jesse
Seems that Drewry III sold his property on Bear Creek, Greene County, NC and moved to Baldwin County, GA. Where his cousin Thomas B Aldridge, Jr. lived. This was around 1818. He found a wife there, then moved to Jackson County, Alabama. His children were born in Alabama but then he moved to Nacogdoches, Texas.
It is said that Drewry Jr rode his horse twice to Texas to see his children and grandchildren.
ii. Lemuel Hardy ALDRIDGE was born about 1789 in Dobbs County, North Carolina. He died in Texas.

ALRIDGE, Drewry marr. BRANDLE, Sarah 14-DEC-1819, Surry, NC
Aldridge, Drury - Unknown Townships, Jackson, AL 1830 (male HOH 30-40; this is probably Drewry Aldridge of Dobbs/Greene Co, NC m. Sarah Brandle; son of Drewry and Edith Hardy; migrating to Texas].
Aldridge, Drury Unknown Townships, Marshall, AL 1840

It's possible that there are more children in this family. These are what remained for the 1850 Census in Texas.

There is more than one Drury Aldridge and I am not so sure that our Anna is Sarah Brandle or that our Drury married Sarah Brandle.
