John T. Mills

John T. Mills (November 12, 1817 – November 30, 1871) was an American lawyer who served as a Supreme Court Justice for the Republic of Texas.

Born in County Antrim, Ireland, Mills immigrated to America with his parents. The family settled in Beaufort County, South Carolina; he studied law there before moving to Texas in 1837.

He was elected to the Republic's Supreme Court and served as an associate justice from 1839 to 1845. After Texas was admitted to the Union, he served as a judge for the state in various district courts from 1846 to 1850. John Mills died in Marshall, Texas, and is buried in the Marshall Cemetery there. Mills County, Texas is named in his honor.
