I assumed that James D. Miles Sr died after the 1870 census but want to make sure. Bonita - is there a reference to this man in 1880???? Would like to know what date he and Tamar Pool actually died. I don't believe there was any obit but don't really know since I don't have exact date of death. Any deeds that would have happened because of death I would be very interested in. Also, I don't know where James and Tamar are buried. I believe years ago I wrote the courthouse to see if there was a will or estate papers and I don't think I ever got an answer.

Her mother is from the Rush family. My research leads me to believe she is the granddaughter of Crafford Rush who died in Randolph Co in 1799. It is possibly thru his son John & Elizabeth Rush. If this is so the tree can continue on thru Crafford's wife Mary Broyles before 1596 in Germany. Thomas and Rebecca Pool left North Carolina and settled in Jennings Co. IN.

There is a Maud Miles who married in 1895, and this 1880 two-year old would have been 17 in that year. The registrar at the county health department is a friend of mine and also also works part-time at the funeral home where I work. I'll have her look up the 1890 Georgie Miles death.

I only found what must be James Jr. He was born 12 Apr 1843 and died 11 Sep 1893. He was in Co K 148 Ind Inf in the Civil War. He was married to Martha 23 Sep 1849- 12 Nov 1897. I found a tiny blurb in the newspaper when he died. >From the Banner Plain Dealer, September 13, 1893 James Miles, who has been so seriously sick for several months, died yesterday morning. His burial occurs at Brush Creek today. He was a worthy soldier and for many years has been an honest worker at mending shoes. In health, he was thought to be the happiest man in the community.
