MILES – Miles, McAtee, O’Brian, Hamilton, Bradford, Davis, Shirley #11130 Kentucky Genealogy and Biography, Volume 5 Battle-Perrin-Kniffin, 4th ed. Nelson Co. EDWARD L. MILES, born August 15, 1825, is a son of Henry and Ann (McAtee) Miles. Henry Miles was born in Maryland, came to Nelson County, Ky., with the earliest Catholic settlers, and was wounded in a fight with the Indians in coming down the Ohio River. He was not a wealthy man at the start but left an estate of 1,000 acres at his death in 1839 at the age of sixty-nine years. His father, Philip Miles, was a native of Maryland, of Scotch-Irish descent, and married a Miss O’Brian. Mrs. Ann Miles was a daughter of George McAtee, who married a Miss Hamilton of Maryland, and both came to Nelson County, Ky., at an early day. Edward L. Miles was born where he still resides in Nelson County, was educated at St. Joseph’s College, Bardstown, and graduated in 1846. In May, 1848, he married Anna Bradford, daughter of David and Amanda (Davis) Bradford. David Bradford was an attorney and for many years was superintendent of the mint at New Orleans. After his marriage Mr. Miles purchased a farm near Bardstown, but five years later removed to the old homestead; about 1857 he went to Louisiana and purchased an interest in a sugar plantation of 1,000 acres; at the close of the late war he sold his interest in the land and returned to New Hope, Ky., and in the winter of 1867-68 built a distillery, starting with a capacity of 200 bushels, which had been increased in 1881 to 1,000 bushels. In 1871, however, he sold out to Tom Shirley. At present he owns 1,000 acres of farming land, and his residence is a fine brick erected by his father over seventy years ago, but recently remodeled and enlarged. Mr. and Mrs. Miles are members of the church of Rome.
