The first known survey of this cemetery was done by Dr. Allan E. Marble on July 22, 1967. As was his custom, Dr. Marble did not name the cemetery, instead assigning it an identifying number, in this case 48, and a location, Granville Ferry.

At a later date, Genweb volunteers transcribed Dr. Marble's original survey notes and made them available online at Rootsweb, citing the cemetery name as "Mills Cemetery" and the location as Granville Ferry.

This cemetery was established in 1808. On the south facing fence, underneath the cemetery sign, a plaque reads "Final Resting Place Mills Family from Weaverthorpe, Yorkshire, England 1774" followed by the names of six family members buried in the cemetery.

DIRECTIONS: The cemetery is set back 75 meters from the road in a field on the north side of Hwy 1 (also known in this area as Granville Road). Park your car at the first culvert over the ditch west of Civic #5193. Walk through the field to the cemetery. Sometimes there is a path mowed in the summer. The cemetery itself is fenced on the east and south, and the trees provide the other two borders.
