Drewrey Dobbin Mills was born in Marion County, Alabama to Isaac Andrew Jackson Mills and Hannah McMinn. His parents and most of his siblings migrated to Mississippi between 1865 and 1870. He married Frances C. Hunt on December 26, 1876 in Lafayette County, Mississippi. Their eight children were all born in Mississippi; Felix, Kansis, Rupert, Ruthie, Florence, Lawrence, Maude, and Hunt. Kansis was born in Yalobusha County, and died young. It is unknown where she is buried.
Drew is frequently listed in research with the middle name Dallas. Hannah had a brother named Drewery Dallas McMinn, so the presumption has some merit. However, I have found no record that shows his middle name written. His initial of D is all that I have seen. His direct descendants (children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren) have consistently reported his name as Drew Dobbin Mills. Though his headstone lists his birth year as 1852, it was reported as 1851 in the 1900 census, could have been 1850 according to the 1860 census, and 1849 was on his death certificate.
Drew was a farmer who was crazy about his wife and enjoyed his family. He became a widower after almost 59 years of marriage and was never the same after Fanny's death. He died in 1938 of Chronic Bright's Disease (kidney disease).
