The name Millus derives from Bavaria (Germany), but the surname Millus is also found in England and Scotland. There are other Millus families in other parts of New York. John's birth in New York fits with the presence of an immigrant from Bayern (Bavaria) named Johann Millus, enumerated in the 1870 census in Erie, New York. In the 1880 census, John's parents are both reported as also born in NY, not Bavaria. Records for John are limited. John and his wife Ruth are reported in the 1880 census in Missouri, where all the children were born. They moved to Oklahoma at an uncertain point. 1880 Federal Census, Douglas County, Missouri, 10 June, Campbell Township, District 28, page 28 (scan 492C), Hse/Fam #18 Millus, John B W M 45 Head Farmer Carpenter NY NY NY [b abt 1835] Millus, Ruth W F 36 Wife Keeping House Ark KY Tenn [abt 1844] Millus, Loumine S W F 18 Dau Single At Home MO NY AR [abt 1862] Millus, Hiram B W M 12 Son Farming MO NY AR [b abt 1868] Millus, Harriet L W F 10 Dau At Home MO NY AR [abt 1870] Millus, Mary C W F 5 Dau At Home MO NY AR [abt 1875] Millus, Martha C W M 4 Dau At Home MO NY AR [b abt 1876] 1910 Federal Census, Latimer County, Oklahoma, 27 April, Damon Township, District 131, Page 3A, Hse #43, Fam #45 Millus, John B Head M W 75 Married 47 yrs NY NY NY No Occupation Rents [b abt 1845] Millus, Ruth Wife F W 66 Married 47 yrs 7 children/7 living AR KY TN No Occupation Millus, Elad [?] Dau F W 27 Single MO NY AR Brown, Hariet [sic] Dau F W 39 Widow MO NY AR Brown, Pearl Granddau F W 11 Single OK AR MO Brown, Dolf Grandson M W 10 Single OK AR MO Brown, Harry C Grandson M W 7 Single OK AR MO Living next door to John and Ruth is their son John B Jr and his young family Two doors on the other side of John is their widowed daughter Mary Merryman and her children. 1910 Federal Census, Latimer County, Oklahoma, 27 April, Damon Township, District 131, Page 3A, Hse #44, Fam #46 Millus, John B Head M W 29 Marriage 2 Married 2 yrs MO NY AR farm Laborer Working Out Owns [b abt 1881] Millus, Cattie Wife F W 21 Marriage 2 Married 2 yrs 1 children/1 living AR US US No Occupation Millus, Gurtie Dau F W 11mos Single OK MO AR 1910 Federal Census, Latimer County, Oklahoma, 27 April, Damon Township, District 131, Page 3A, Hse #46, Fam #48 Marymon [Merryman], Mary Head F W 35 Widow 8 children/5 living MO NY AR No Occupation Owns Marymon [Merryman], Perry D Son M W 17 Single MO US MO Farm Laborer, Working Out Marymon [Merryman], Jissie [Jesse] Son M W 12 Single OK US MO Farm Laborer, Working Out Marymon [Merryman], Bengiman [Benjamin] Son M W 7 Single OK US MO Marymon [Merryman], Jewel Dau F W 4 Single OK US MO No information has been found on the date of death.

The whole family is reported as White. This census was hard to find due to the enumerator's misspelling of the family name. Corrections have been posted as alternate names for the index at Ancestry.com, which should make it easier for future researchers to find and correlate this census information. This census is very interesting and brings up a puzzle about the two youngest children named Merryman reported din 1920. The report of Mary as a widow, however, is consistent with the date of death on Walter G Merryman's gravestone in the Bengal, Oklahoma, Cemetery, reporting he died in 1904, after the death of Benjamin. 1910 Federal Census, Latimer County, Oklahoma, 27 April, Damon Township, District 131, Page 3A, Hse #46, Fam #48 Marymon [Merryman], Mary Head F W 35 Widow 8 children/5 living MO NY AR No Occupation Owns Marymon [Merryman] [Andrews], Perry D Son M W 17 Single MO US MO Farm Laborer, Working Out Marymon [Merryman] [Lewis], Jissie [Jesse] Son M W 12 Single OK US MO Farm Laborer, Working Out Marymon [Merryman], Bengiman [Benjamin] Son M W 7 Single OK US MO Marymon [Merryman], Jewel Dau F W 4 Single OK US MO Mary is reported as a widow in this 1910 census. But in 1911 another child, Beatrice Addie Merryman, was born. If Walter Merryman died before 1910, who was her father? Was she born out of wedlock? Walter's gravestone says he died in 1904, after the birth of Benjamin, but before the birth of Jewel, reported here as age 4, so born about 1906. Who was Jewel's father? Was she also born out of wedlock? Mary has family nearby. This makes it less likely she would have "misbehaved" and had children with dropin men. But maybe it happened. Mary Merryman's parents are also enumerated on this page of the census, about 3 houses away. Her brother John B Millus Jr lives 2 houses away, between Mary and their parents. 1910 Federal Census, Latimer County, Oklahoma, 27 April, Damon Township, District 131, Page 3A, Hse #43, Fam #45 Millus, John B Head M W 75 Married 47 yrs NY NY NY No Occupation Rents Millus, Ruth Wife F W 66 Married 47 yrs 7 children/7 living AR KY TN No Occupation Millus, Elad [?] Dau F W 27 Single MO NY AR Brown, Hariet [sic] Dau F W 39 Widow MO NY AR Brown, Pearl Granddau F W 11 Single OK AR MO Brown, Dolf Grandson M W 10 Single OK AR MO Brown, Harry C Grandson M W 7 Single OK AR MO 1910 Federal Census, Latimer County, Oklahoma, 27 April, Damon Township, District 131, Page 3A, Hse #44, Fam #46 Millus, John B Head M W 29 Marriage 2 Married 2 yrs MO NY AR farm Laborer Working Out Owns Millus, Cattie Wife F W 21 Marriage 2 Married 2 yrs 1 children/1 living AR US US No Occupation Millus, Gurtie Dau F W 11mos Single OK MO AR The 1920 census for Mary as a widow indicates she was married three times. But it was actually four times, because her first son was listed by the enumerator with the same last name as her second son, Jesse Lewis. Perry's father was named Andrews, as reported in the 1900 census. Again in this census, Mary and her children are all reported as White, even though we know the Merryman children were on the Choctaw rolls with their father Walter in 1896-1904. Mary's first husband was named Andrews, her second was Charlie Lewis, the father of Jesse Lewis. Four children named Merryman are listed from her third marriage.

Both Gabe and Benjamin are reported as Indian, and Evan Merryman is reported as White. All Gabe and Eva's children are reported as White, although the children are 1/64 Choctaw. This indicates the political nature of the designation of race. After the Dawes rolls were published, only those on the Choctaw rolls were designated as Indian, even if they were part Indian. But some enumerators, or some censuses, were not careful about that anyway, as indicate in the 1910 census above, where Mary and all her Indian children were all reported as White, although still living in the same place they were when they were listed as Choctaw, and as Gabe and Ben were in 1930 when listed as Choctaw. Even Mary was a Choctaw citizen before the Nations were dissolved to assimilate in to the State of Oklahoma in 1907.

The 1920 census reports her name as Florence S. The order of names is sometimes reversed like this where the middle name is used as the primary name. ON her grave, for instance, her name is S Florence Jones. I will follow the genealogy for the order of the name. It is also possible that her full name is Sarah Florence, since Sallie is the common nickname for Sarah. Note that here her birth state is reported as Tennessee, though in 1900 it is Mississippi and 1910 it was Tennessee. The 1880 census, when she was reported as a 6-month old, her family was living in Mississippi, but here birth place was reported as Tenenssee. This is report so close to her birth is likely the correct one.

"Bonnie Mitchell -- Bonnie was my grandmother, she died in 1929 in Newberry, S.C. with TB, her and my grandfather William Boyd McSwain lived on Robinson Street in Gaffney, S.C." -- Larry McSwain, Comment on an Ancestry Tree, 15 October 2014 "The first wife of William Boyd McSwain was Bonnie Mitchell, daughter of Hiram and Francis Clercie Sizemore Mitchell, she had the 3 boys by William (William Boyd JR., Jack and, Robert) my step-grandmother Mary Kiser had Betty and Carolyn who I really through the years haven't got to know. Bonnie died in 1929 in Newberry, S.C. with TB, William and Bonnie's residence at that time was East Robinson St. Gaffney, S.C." -- Larry Dean McSwain, Comment on an Ancestry genealogy, 22 October 2014 ---------------------- My father was Jack Osborne McSwain, he died in Pembroke Pines, Florida. His father was William Boyd McSwain, who was married to Bonnie Mitchell, had 3 boys, she died and he remarried Mary Kiser, they had 2 girls. Next comes Osborne Benjamin McSwain, he was married to Amanda Childers. They were from down about Cherokee County S.C. Osborne's father was Thomas Asbury McSwain, mother Alice (Aly Ann) Carpenter, then comes Charles McSwain, who was married to Luraner Washburn McSwain. He and she had abt 16 children together, she died -- I should have her death date somewhere in my records -- probably in the 1840s, he then married my g.g.g.grandmother Sarah L. Throckmorton. Charles's father was David McSwain. I think his mother was Catherine Robertson. -- Larry Dean McSwain, personal Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 5 December 2014 ---------------------- 1910 Federal Census, Rutherford County, North Carolina, 6 April, High Shoal Township, District 138, Page 15B, Hse #188, Fam #251 Mitchell, Hiram C Head M W 53 Married 33 yrs GA GA GA [b abt 1857] Mitchell, Clercie C Wife F W 46 Married 33 yrs 14 Children [sic!]/4 Living TN SC TN [b abt 1864] Mitchell, James Son M W 26 NC GA TN [b abt 1884] Mitchell, John Son M W 19 Cotton Mill NC GA TN [b abt 1891] Mitchell, Hester L Dau F W 18 Cotton Mill NC GA TN [b abt 1892] Mitchell, Bonnie Dau F W 7 NC GA TN [b abt 1903] In the 1930 census, after Bonnie's death, William is enumerated in his widowed mother's household with his three young sons. 1930 Federal Census, Cherokee County, South Carolina, 2 April, Gaffney Ward 1, District 11-19, page 1A, 305 E Robinson St, Hse/Fam #3 McSwain, Mandy Head Rents $15 No Radio F W 49 Widow First married at age 18 SC SC SC Cotton Mill Weaver [b abt 1881] McSwain, William B Son M W 29 Widowed Married at age 20 SC SC SC Cotton Mill Spinning [b abt 1901] McSwain, William B Son [of Wm B above, grandson of Mandy] M W 7 Single SC SC SC [b abt 1923] McSwain, Robert O Son [of Wm B above] M W 5 Single SC SC SC [b abt 1925] McSwain, Jack O Son [of Wm B above] M W 3yrs6mos Single SC SC SC [b abt Sept 1926] ------------------------ Bonnie Mitchell McSwain was only in my McSwain line because she was married to William Boyd, but I thought she looked like a little Indian girl in the one pic. Most people who see it usually agree. Her mother's maiden name was Sizemore and her ancestors were said to have been with the Cherokee. I actually have a piece of the log cabin that David McSwain lived in, I've got it under my house, the cabin was called the Buck McSwain place, it was down the Mt Sinai Church Rd. down past the church. My wife and I were down that way doing research and the man that tore down the cabin had the logs from it under a shed, he sawed me off a piece several feet long. I also have a copy of the book David McSwain from the Isle of Skye that Eleanor Davis McSwain wrote, she has the same name as my wife only my wife spells Eleanor (Elenora), even the same maiden name though. We paid Eleanor a visit one year, she lived down in Macon, Ga. -- Larry Dean McSwain, personal Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 26 August 2015 ------------------------ Bonnie Mitchell McSwain Birth Oct. 10, 1902 Death Aug. 9, 1929 Newberry, Newberry County, South Carolina, USA Spouse William Boyd McSwain (1900 - 1945) Burial Oakland Cemetery, Gaffney, Cherokee County, South Carolina Created by Keith & Linda Robertson Dec 18, 2010 -- Find A Grave Memorial #63042984, http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=63042984&ref=acom&ftm=1
