He served during the Civil War, commissioned as a Captain 12 October 1861, 1116th District, Lumpkin Co., Georgia Militia. Little other information is known of William. According to information contained in a letter dated 16 February 1971 written by Elsie Miller Allen (she was a great-granddaughter] to Hattie Pruitt Merrick [a great-granddaughter who was researching the Miller family], Elsie states that her father William Cicero "always told us the Millers were of Irish descent - thus the red hair and complexion." In another letter dated 20 Jan. 1971 Elsie writes Hattie: "Hey Hattie, I have just found a small piece of paper in Daddy's (William Cicero] old Bible with the birth and death dates of: William Miller, Sr., b. 23 May 1824; d. 17 Feb. 1907 Catie Miller, no birth date; died 7 July 1888; age stated as 63 years Sarah M. Miller [wife of Newton Miller], b. 2 Jan. 1852, d. 13 Sept. 1893 and this is written in Daddy's handwriting." She further states "from a type written page glued to the inside of Daddy's Bible is the record of his family [brothers & sisters]." It was written in Cleveland, GA on 23 Jan. 1920 and gave the names and birth dates of the children of Newton V. Miller. Federal Census 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900 "Lumpkin County, Georgia", by Andrew W. Cain Information compiled by Hattie Pruitt Merrick, daughter of Rev. Willis S.

Pisgah Baptist Church Cemetery, Lumpkin Co., GA 1884 Bible believed to have belonged to George Miller Lumpkin County, GA records Information submitted by Robbie Miller Wilkins to "Heritage of Lumpkin Co. GA - 1832-1996" Notes for CATHERINE A. WATTS: There is no information on Catherine Watts. The names of her parents are not known at this writing. There were Watts listed in the census of Lumpkin Co., GA and it appears that David Watts may have been her father, but there is no proof yet that this is true. According to oral information passed along, the Watts family may have been part Indian. This information has not been proved either. But from the one known picture of Catherine she certainly has the characteristics - straight hair and the high cheek bones.

Uncle Tom left home when a young man and 34 years later he came to our door asking for a place to spend the night. We were getting ready to go to revival service, Uncle Steve was pastor and was preaching and staying at our house. Well all this time each was learning who we were then this tall well dressed man said "I am your Uncle Tom who has been gone 34 years", he visited for a few weeks with his relatives and disappeared again and we never heard from him again and if I remember right he never told anyone where he was living or where he had been those 34 years."
