Several people have been interested in Lt. Colonel Henry Millard’s family tree after I wrote a post about him. It has been fun to be in contact with some of his living descendants. People have asked for more information, and while I don’t want to go into much detail, I’m posting a bit here.
The following data are pieced together from various sources. Please use them cautiously as a starting point for your own research. I don’t want to take the time to provide sources on everything here, and I cannot verify every detail, although I think that most of it is accurate. Feel free to offer corrections or additions.

I’m happy to share information with others and am interested in learning about the reunion as well as the old photographs mentioned in the previous posting.

FREDERICK SIPE MILLARD OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS IS MY GRANDFATHER. . . .
WE HAVE A FAMILY REUNION EVERY YEAR IN THE GEORGETOWN PARK ALONG THE SAN GRABRIEL RIVER. WOULD LIKE TO MEET MORE OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS.
THIS IS REAL EXITING.
RG: I took out some of your information to protect your identity. Unfortunately I live out of the country, so it might not be convenient for me to attend, although I would like to. I will try to keep in touch, so that I can find out the date in 2010 that the reunion will be.

Gideon and Abigail Tower are my ancestors, too…I’m tracing my ancestry through another one of their children, also named Abigail. Can you tell me where you garnered the info on them that you did? Thanks!

How can I get contact info from others? Is it possible for you to share email addresses?
RG’s Reply: I have sent your e-mail address to some other Millard descendants. Maybe somebody will write to you.
I don’t want to post people’s e-mail addresses here.
