Notes:

Millard and his father Septimus and brother Oliver held land together

Millard was very hard to locate. Debbie Reynolds and myself have looked for him for well over 12 years. We knew he didn't die in Maryland or Delaware. Lost track of him after his run-in with the law in West Chester, Pennsylvania. My Aunt Betty said that the last time she heard from him was the mid 1930's when he was living in a flop house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Well she was right. After searching I found him thru Ancestry when they put their deaths on line from 1906-1963...Yipeeeeeeeee. He was married the entire time of his life to Hannah Elizabeth Baker who had to raise their children after he ran off.

Millard married Hannah Elizabeth Baker 22 Dec 1880, Cecil County, Maryland. Hannah (daughter of James Goodwin Baker and Eliza Rebecca LaMar) was born 28 Jun 1861, Harford County, Maryland; died 24 Sep 1941, Wilmington, Delaware; was buried , Elkton Cemetery, Elkton, Maryland. [Group Sheet]
