Rebekah,
Not sure about your Hur Mills. I have 4 Hur Mills', with birth years of
1714, 1755, 1771 and 1781. Wilks Co. NC was formed in 1777 and it came from
Surry Co. and the district of Washington (TN), go west to the new land. In
the early 1800's there were two major moves by John Mills Sr. descendants
and the moved to Clinton Co. OH and Jefferson Co. TN.

Wilks Co. NC is about half way on the path to TN.

NC Counties Are Confusing
Many of the Counties in NC were divided and sub divided. So, while people
never moved they may show up in several different counties. John Sr. and his
first 5 children are examples. They all moved to Rowan in 1752 & 1753. In
1752 it was Orange Co. then in 1753 their land became Rowan and then in 1770
their land was now in Guilford Co.
