The back of this picture does not say who this man is, but the photography studio stamp on the back reads "Vermilion County, Illinois". The photo may have been passed down to Sarah Elizabeth Mills who was the daughter of Lydia Ruble-Mills born 04 Aug 1827, daughter of Henry Ruble and Mahaila Martin. Lydia was married to Isaac Joseph Mills born 03 Mar 1825 in North Carolina, he is the son of Peter Mills born 02 Mar 1800 in North Carolina and Mary Jane Stanley. Peter is the son of Benoni Mills born bt 1760 in Deep River, Guilford County, North Carolina, married to Mary Thompson also born in Deep River, Guilford County, North Carolina.
My ancestors from these families were New Garden MM Quaker families and found in Guilford County, North Carolina, Perry Twp., Wayne, Indiana and a few of Benoni's children, namely James Mills born 06 Nov 1796 in Deep River, Guilford County, North Carolina, was also found living in Sidell, Vermilion, Illinois after 1840 until his death on 25 Mar 1869 in Sidell, Vermilion, Illinois.
It is impossible to know who the man is in this picture by doing basic genealogy, but it is most likely a close relative to Sarah Elizabeth Mills, daughter of Isaac Joseph Mills.
