Some sources give wife's name as Sarah Mills though marriage records clearly indicate Miller. For example, Source:The Maine historical and genealogical recorder (318894), p. 2:105 in Sargent's article on "The Skillings Family", lists Edwards wife as Sarah Mills. Source:Maine families in 1790 by the Maine Gen. Society, p. 5:34, identifies the parents of Josiah Skillings, b. 1752, as Edward and Sarah (Mills) Skillings. --Jrich 13:25, 10 September 2008 (EDT)

    Listing children of Benjamin Miller includes "Sarah was Skillin in 1747". It is not so stated, but one would infer from surrounding text, that she was called Sarah Skillin in Benjamin's will dated 27 Jan 1746/7 which is said to name his 7 children.
