    3. My wife was a Miles. I have in my database that James is the son of John and Martha Robb Miles. Their children were Bettie Belle, married James LaFayette Warford, Annie Susie married Frank Mattox, Charles married Mattie Martin and James who married Bessie Daggs. John was the son of James Miles and Malinda Rudd Miles. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cecil Boyd" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 12:21 AM Subject: [MoRandolph] James Miles, husband of Bessie Daggs > Can anyone give me the names of the parents of James Miles, husband of > Bessie Daggs?
