    1. Re: [MSCOVING-L] Mass grave -Warren Miller Herrington Nelson Dickenson FolesDavisStappBas...
    2. THANKS SO MUCH. I have reason to believe that ENOCH Herrington might have been Seletia Herrington's father or brother. He is listed NEXT TO Sebron K Miller and Celetia on census and also next their names on church docs and as attending same services, etc. I only know Herrington line thru Celetia (Salleta/Seletia) Herrington (m. in 1837 to S.K.Miller). As for the Dickenson, I only know Archie Dickenson(Dickerson)who married Mary Ann Miller and was shortly thereafter killed. Mary Ann Miller Dickerson remarried a man named Foles. All of this took place in Covington or Lawrence counties or at the "Miller family homestead near Antioch". I also heard some story about Mary Ann, her mother, and some of her/their children who died in a terrible storm and flood, and were buried near the church in a mass grave. Ever hear of such a thing??? THANKS for your quick response. I will look over your files with interest. DIANE dianiewill@aol.com

    2. I am looking for info on Seaborne Kingston Miller and his descendants. He and his wife Celetia had 14 live births between 1837-1864. I am hoping some husbands & wives of the Miller-kids will have descendants who see this post and can help me out. ANYTHING ON SEABORNE/ SEBRON or his wife CELETIA/ SALLETA HERRINGTON MILLER (or his slaves or legal documents as he was prosperous, a civil war vet and living in Mississippi)would be appreciated. I believe Seaborn/Sebron Kingston Miller's parents were Elizabeth Warren and James Miller. S.K. and Seletia Miller had 14 kids, all listed including their known spouses (remember there may be more / other spouses): ELIZABETH MILLER b19 June 1838 married Zachariah Nelson MARY ANN MILLER b 20 Feb 1840 married Archie Dickenson, then Mr. Foles AMANDA MILLER b 5 June 1841 married Charlie T.

My assumption is she died in Mt. Olive, and probably was born there. She never married, but had one son name A.W. McMillan. If someone is willing to do a lookup for Mary's birth and death certificates, please email me privately.
