At Cherry Grove MM on 1-11-1862, Tilnias, Lynn meeting, was reported married contrary to discipline; "2-8-1862 disowned".¹  

Tilnias and family were shown in the 1870 census (Aug 18 1870), Greensfork Township, Randolph County, Indiana:³

Rachel had been previously married to Nathan Mills (1837-1873), Aug 13 1863, Edgar County, Illinois,²³ by whom she had a daughter, Flora Adel Mills, Dec 6 1871^4,6,13 (and also apparently a son, Cassius Mills, who probably died young).¹³
