    3. My Great Grandmother-Martha Jane "Revis" Miller was born Jan 16, 1872. When she was 18 years of age she married Tom Golden. In 1900 She was living with her parents, Widowed, with 3 children. On 7/6/1901, she married Horace Cisco. He died, and she married my Great Grandfather, Levis Benton Miller on 8/11/1901 (both listed as 24 years of age). >From what the family has told me, her father, Tom Revis/Reavis, made her marry Cisco, who was in his 80's. I have been told the Cisco family was very angry that she collected his Civil War Pension. Grandfather Levis Benton Miller Died in a sawmill accident near Athens, Ark, in 1913. Have been trying to find out what happened, and where he is buried. Martha Jane and the children went to Sawyer, Oklahoma after that (near by), (Sawyer no longer is there-it is under a Dam now). Also, "Uncle Bob" who was born before she married Grandfather Miller, carried the Miller name. When asked about this, her reply was,"He is just as much a Miller as the rest of you". (He never married, or had children, lived with Martha Jane. My father said he was "slow".) Would like a bit more insight into Martha Jane's life. Is there anyone on the list with a "Cisco" tie, who could give me their families story on this? Martha Jane told the family that her Grandma Mary "Elizabeth" "Williams" Reavis, wife of James Jackson Reavis, was Cherokee. I can't find any records on her before their marriage in 1844, Cherokee County , Georgia. Also- Martha Jane told grandkids they were related to Jesse James. The story was that Jesse James and gang robed a train, two of the men were hurt. They traveled several miles away to Arkansas, were they were tended to by (supposedly) Jesse's Aunt, Gilly "James" Fulton, My Great Great Grandparents were Gilly James and Horatio Sparburn Fulton, the man who was hurt, my Great Grandfather Levi Alexander "Alex" Miller, who was shot in the leg, ended up married to the youngest daughter of Gilly and Horatio- Dicey Ellen Fulton. (none of this is documented, that I know of).Alex and Dicey spent there lives in Ark. They are buried in the Athens Cemetery, both died Mt. Ida, Ark. Would like to here from any one who can give me any more on any of this! Thank you- Sandy Scofield [email protected]
