MICHAEL MILES



   Michael Miles' widow, Mary Miles, applied for revolutionary pension while

living in Washington County, Tenn., Jan. 3, 1840. She states that she was

married to Michael Miles in Kentucky County, Va., near where the city of

Louisville now stands, in the home of Squire Hansbury, at Col. Floyd's Station

on Bear Grass (Creek?) in the latter part of 1781 or the first part of 1782. She

remembers that the ground was covered with snow. Michael Miles was then an

officer of the Revolution under Gen. Rogers Clark. She was 14 years old,

therefore born about 1768. She was escorted by a guard of soldiers from the home

of her father, Thomas Harrison, at the Post at the Falls of the Ohio to the

house where the marriage took place. She had only one child who died at the age

of two months. Her husband, Michael Miles she says in her application, "died

about 45 years ago on the French Broad River." This places his death about 1795.
