General Notes: Wife - Angeline Mills

---

Angeline [Mills] Henry's tombstone gives a birthdate of 1 Jan
1845, although she is 2 years old in the 1850 census. Family
stories say she was born a couple of years after Alexander C.
Mills, Matilda Garrett's first husband, died. Since Angeline
listed only her mother, Matilda, as a parent when Angeline
married, I am listing the later birthdate.

Family stories say that Angeline's father was Robert Vaught, a
cousin of Matilda's from Page Co., VA. I have never been able
to find him.
