Andromache "America" "Mackey" Mills

Notes:

The I.G.I. records her name as Andromache (America) Mills - from this it is assumed she was commonly called, and known as, America.

She was presumably named after one of the finest drawn female characters in Homer's Iliad, Androm'ache; the wife of Hector.

Carol McClaanahan Mikelson/Robin Haake emailed, in November 2020, that Andromache had a sister, Penelope Mills, another name from Homer's Iliad. She had once been told that John Mills was a sea captain, but has not found confirmation of that fact.

Andromache married Enoch Cox McClanahan on 4 Aug 1838 in Cooper County, Missouri. Enoch was born on 18 Apr 1818 in Tennessee; died on 9 Mar 1877 in Dallas County, Missouri; was buried in Montgomery Cemetery, Tunas, Dallas County, Missouri. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
