Notes

The Mills Series features the descendants of Abel Mills and Catherine Ulery. The heirs of their daughter Emaline Mills [1821-1847], who married Robert Morris [1816-1891], have collected and shared the items in the series. The Lois (Morris) Gdovin Collection was passed from David Milligan Morris [1840-1917] and his wife, Eleanor Perry [1848-1908], to their son, Edward Benona Morris [1871-1948], and his wife, Celia Yennie [1881-1974], to their daughter, Lois Morris [1920-2001], and her husband, Albert Gdovin [1901-1964], to their daughter, Celia (Gdovin) Riggle, who owned and shared the collection with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Archives Project in 2007. Celia (Gdovin) Riggle has since passed the collection to her son, Keith Riggle, who owned and shared additional items in 2014.
