He escaped to Sugar Loaf Mountain where he hid out and, since it was apparent which way the War was going, he sent emissaries to the Committee of Public Safety for Rutherford County to attempt to negotiate a preservation of his lands near Mills Spring for his service as a Patriot during remainder of the War.
After the War, he moved across the mountains to the areas now known as Fruitland and Edneyville. He is credited with bringing the apple industry to this area. That industry is still the most important in the area.
There are many graves in the Mills Cemetery marked by fieldstones only. Markers that can be determined include Lucian Edney and his family. He was a grandchild of William and Eleanor Mills.
William Mills was very successful in business and suits surrounding the settlement of his estate appear in the Supreme Court records of North Carolina.
