Miles born 1806, William Miles your G. G, Grandfather." I have spelled the words and put periods and commons as are in the text. A Thomas MIles died in Halifax Co. in 1797. He had two known sons mentioned in his estate papers and his will, Thomas and Benjamin. Benjamin, according to Warren AND Halifax County deeds, named Benjamin's wife as Mary. Benjamin disappeared off of the census by 1810 and Mary was given a plot of land by her son William (author of the Bible records) who lived in Northampton Co., N. C. Mary died in 1840 and she left a will in Northampton Co. naming her son William Miles and a daughter Rebecca King. William Miles (1777-1868) married Mary Folk in 1804. This is recorded in a Pugh Bible located in the Va. Archives. Hope this will help those who are researching some of the surnames mentioned above.
