Do not have any children for Mary Mills and John. Children shown are of
he and first wife Mary Long.
Have Mary Mills as daughter of Thomas Mills and Mary Wadleigh, of Wells,
Saco and Berwick ME, b. about 1642 and died about 1719. Marriage at
Newbury, MA (?seems odd) about 1681. Hope this helps!
"John CLOYES of Charlestown was captain of a small coasting vessel
plying between Boston and the Maine settlement. Captain John brought
needed supplies to the settlement and took back dried fish for the
Boston market. John had a younger brother, Nathaniel, born in
Charlestown March 6, 1643, who made frequent trips to the Maine
settlement with Captain John and as a result married Sarah, a daughter
of MILLS. Nathaniel received a grant of land in 1679 at a location once
known as Batcomb, now Moody. Batcomb was at that time a growing
settlement on the Ogunquit river. It was here that John LITTLEFIELD
built a saw mill in 1680 at the falls above the King's highway. It was
also the home of John's brother Francis Littlefield, Senior, who kept a
public house near where the late Henry DONNELLS once lived. Francis was
one of the leading men of the Province at that early period and
represented Batcomb and Cape Nedick in the Massachusetts General Court
for several years. It was at the Francis LITTLEFIELD house that the
first General Court in Maine was held on May 17, 1662. Captain John
CLOYES received a grant of land adjoining his brother Nathaniel's on the
northeast side. His first wife, Mary LONG, who he married in 1664, had
died in Charlestown, and Captain John had married for his second wife
Mary, Thomas MILLS oldest daughter. Captain John continued in the
coasting trade bringing needed supplies, including rum from Boston to
the new settlement, while brother Nathaniel supplied the wants of the
settlers for wet goods at retail. Nathaniel was eventually indicted for
his part of the liquor business and Captain John retired from the
coasting trade and died sometime previous to 1715, leaving his widow,
Mary, and five children. " ("Caleb KIMBALL of Wells, Maine 1680-1755"
