Weymer Jay Mills

Weymer Jay Mills was an American author born in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1880. According to the New Jersey Historical Society’s guide to his papers, he lived in both Jersey City and New York City, wrote magazine articles and books, and came from a family with a link to Revolutionary-era poet Philip Freneau.

His known works include Historic Houses of New Jersey, Through the Gates of Old Romance, and Caroline of Courtlandt Street. He also edited Glimpses of Colonial Society and the Life at Princeton College, 1766–1773, which fits the strong interest in colonial and historical subjects seen across his writing.

Today, Mills is mainly remembered through surviving editions of his books and library records that preserve his work from the early 1900s. A reliable portrait image was not clearly available from the sources I could confirm, so no profile image is included.
