Scope and Content Note

The Papers of Robert Mills consist of all manuscripts, known to have been preserved by his descendants. When H.M. Pierce Gallagher published her biography of Mills in 1935, part of this collection was in the possession of Thomas Dabney Dimitry, a descendant of one of Mills’ Daughters, Mary Powell, who married Alexander Dimitry. Another part was in the possession of Robert Mills Evans; he was a descendant of the only other daughter who had children, Sarah Jane, the wife of Dr. John Evans. Both parts were inherited by Richard X. Evans, who is a descendant of both of these daughters and thus twice a great-great-grandson of the architect.

Provenance

The Robert Mills Papers are on microfiche and were purchased by the Archives from the South Carolina Historical Society at Charleston, South Carolina
