Attention Lynn FARRER and Charles MILLER Following is my copy of Archibald MILLER's father's will as I posted it on another website. The original was filed in Anderson Co., SC , another part of the Old Pendleton Dist., from which were formed the present counties of Pickens Co. (my home), Oconee Co. and Anderson. I have more info on these MILLERS if you are interested. Let's hear it for the MILLERS! God bless, Dolores MILLER PRINGLE now a resident of Myrtle Beach, SC Jesse MILLER's Will, (almost certainly another son of George MILLER and wife Mary, also a brother to Isaac MILLER, Sr. who was my GGGG-g'father) Will, Book A. Page 237. Probate Judge Office. Anderson, SC. I Jesse MILLER of Pendleton Dist. being very sick and weak of body, but in perfect mind and memory... After paying all my just debts, I give to my beloved wife Patsy MILLER during her natural life or widowhood. At her death I give all my land on South Side of Wolf Creek to my son Archibald MILLER to have said land in fee simple forever. All my land on North side of said creek to be sold and the profit equally divided among my five other sons, William MILLER, George MILLER, Emson (Emerson?) MILLER, Howel(l?) MILLER and James MILLER...My household property to my six beloved dtrs. Sara BRUCE, Amy YOUNG, Susannah MCCOLM (McCOLLUM?), Rebeccah TATUM, Peggy PERTS, and Mary MILLER. I appoint my friend William MCCOLM (McCOLLUM?) and Patsy MILLER my executor and executrix. Dated this 17 April 1819. Wit: William MILLER, William MCCOLLUM, William X TATUM, and Rebacah X TATUS (TATUM?). Signed Jesse MILLER. Proved & recorded 3 March 1819, by John HARRIS Ord. Pend. Dist. (Date of will or the recording date may be reversed.) (This will was copied without spelling or punctuation corrections by me from the original.) Lynn, There was a huge migration from Pickens Co. and surrounding areas to GA in the 1830-1840s. A book on the subject is "Gone to Georgia." The Empson W. MILLER you listed was poss. named for Archibald's brother Emson/Emerson? ...Also, poss. Nancy Margaret was named for "Peggy" who was prob. Margaret? The names Emson/Empson and Howell almost certainly came from Jesse's wife Patsy's family as they are not MILLER names. I would like to hear from you.
