http://www.tcarden.com/tree/ensor/Coxwill.html Prayer by John Miller "Good Lord, our God that art in heaven, we have great reason to thank thee for the many favors we have received at thy hands, the many battles we have won. "There is the great and glorious battle of King's Mountain, where we kilt the great Gineral Ferguson and took his whole army. And the great battles of Ramsours's and at Williamson's. And the ever-memorable and glorious battle of Coopens, where we made the proud Gineral Tarleton run doon the road helter-skelter, and, Good Lord, if ye had na suffered the cruel Tories to burn Billy Hill's Iron Works, we would na have asked any mair favors at thy hands. Amen." John Miller names the battles of Ramsours's and at Williamson's and also the burning of Billy Hill's Iron Works. Anyone think the John Miller who wrote the above was at the Battles of Ramsour's, Williamson's and Cowpens? More on the Iron Works; http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ar/washington/bios/h.txt Daniel Harvey Hill, lieutenant-general in the Confederate States army, and president of the Arkansas Industrial University, was born July 12, 1821, at Hill's Iron Works, in York District, S. C. His father was Solomon Hill, a slaveholder, planter and Presbyterian elder; his mother was, before her marriage, Nancy Cabeen, the daughter of Sumpter's scout, Thomas Cabeen, whom Sumpter declared to be "the bravest man in my command." The Cabeens were from Scotland, and were strict Presbyterians and men of wealth and influence. Col. William Hill, the grandfather of General Hill, was an Irishman; he rose to the rank of colonel in the Revolutionary army, was badly wounded at Hanging Rock, and was at home recovering from it when the battle of King's Mountain was fought. The battle-field was only a short distance from his iron works, which was the only furnace in that section of the country, and he made it so useful in manufacturing guns and other munitions of war that it was the daily prayer of his devout compatriots, "O Lord, protect us from the enemy and save Billy Hill's Iron Works." (Snipped) Then the question is how many Watauga and Wilkes County pioneers had ties to York District, SC? Was the John Miller above from York Dist., SC? Did he live on Mulberry Creek North of Wilkesboro? Who else had land on Mulberry Creek? Where was Mulberry Creek enumerated on the 1790 NC Census? Isn't that where Charles Hickerson lived and was he in the Second Company" Was this John Miller related to James Enoch Mylar who came from York and married Rachael Wilcoxson, great grandaughter of Squire Boone?
