Uncle Chris (or Criss) first married Channie/Chaney A. Foutch (10 November 1880, LCT; her middle name is sometimes seen as Drucilla), who was born around 1864 or early 1865.

Chaney Foutch Mills' mother appears to be Mary Elizabeth Newsom, who married James S. Steelman, Jr. (J.L. Steelman was Chaney's half-brother) and, later, H. H. Foutch, whose first name may have been Herod.

Chaney Foutch Mills died on 28 June 1898.

Uncle Criss's second wife was Ida Bateman, daughter of Henry Bateman and Elizabeth Caledonia Ashby, whom he married on 1 March 1899.

Two of Chaney's children are currently, incorrectly linked to Ida.

Criss and Chaney's kids:

Mary Lou Mills
Vanburen "Van" C. Mills
Nora Alma Mills
Hugh Fulton Mills

Criss and Ida's kids:

Archie Lee Mills
Chaney Caldonia Mills
Anna Martha Mills
Mary Frances "Mary Fannie" Mills
