Hello.... Yes I have been a lurker too. I hesitated because I wasn't sure if my MILES family was from that particular area. Thanks to a kind member of this list and a look-up he did for me, I now think that this could be the right place. I am looking for any inf. on the MILES family. There was an Abraham or Abram MILES who owned property about the center of Caswell Co. in 1768. There was also a William MILES and William MILES, Jr. there at that time. If you have any idea how I could find the names of the children of these people, I would be very grateful.
