Brian, Tell me a little about what you know about William Miller and Mary Eldridge/Aldridge, and where you think they may have come from. Most records I have seen say he came from England. HAve you seen anything that would add to or change this fact? Mary Polly Eldridge came from Henrico County, VA. Her mother was Martha Bolling. What do you know about her family? Mary Polly Aldridge siblings and their marriages; Judith married James Ferguson and they were members of Three Links Baptist as was Wm and Mary. Thomas Aldridge III (bro. of Mary and Judith) married Winifred Jones Miller b 05/22/1743 in Goochland. ( Do you think William could be related her?) I don't know who the other siblings married, it would be a big help if I did. Winifred Jones Miller is the daughter of Descendants of William Miller 1 William Miller b: 1710 in Lancaster County, VA .. +Mary Heath b: Abt. 1723 in Northumberland, Virginia ........ 2 Winifred Jones Miller b: May 22, 1743 in Goochland County, VA. ............ +Robert Powell b: July 03, 1732 in Henrico County, VA. ........ *2nd Husband of Winifred Jones Miller: ............ +Thomas III Aldridge b: Abt. 1738 .................. 3 Thomas IV Aldridge b: 1772 ...................... +Elizabeth Hall .................. 3 Judith Aldridge b: April 29, 1774 ...................... +Henry III Cox b: January 22, 1774 .................. 3 Winifred Jones Aldridge b: February 20, 1776 ...................... +David "Rev" Thompson b: Abt. 1776 .................. 3 Sarah Epps Aldridge b: Abt. 1778 ...................... +William Thomas Hill b: Abt. 1778 .................. 3 Jane Aldridge b: Abt. 1780 ...................... +John Johnson b: Abt. 1780 .................. 3 John Rolfe Bolling Aldridge b: September 03, 1783 in prob Goochland Co, VA ...................... +Susan Miller b: 1788 ........ 2 John Miller b: October 06, 1744 ............ +Unk Spouse .................. 3 Elizabeth Miller b: Aft. 1766 in Prince Edward, Virginia ...................... +James B II Ware b: December 27, 1756 in Caroline, VA. ........ 2 Elizabeth Miller b: May 22, 1746 in Goochland County, VA. ............ +George Richardson b: June 10, 1740 in Goochland County, VA. .................. 3 [2] Margaret Frizzell Richardson b: October 22, 1782 in VA. ...................... +[1] John Heath Miller ........ 2 Sarah Miller b: October 15, 1747 ............ +James Holman b: Bef. 1747 ........ 2 William Heath Miller b: November 01, 1749 in Goochland County, VA. ............ +Joanna Laprade b: Abt. 1748 in Goochland County, VA. .................. 3 [1] John Heath Miller ...................... +[2] Margaret Frizzell Richardson b: October 22, 1782 in VA. ........ 2 Margaret Miller b: November 11, 1751 ............ +Daniel Hawes b: Bef. 1751 ........ 2 Thomas Miller b: March 20, 1754 ............ +Constance Massie b: Aft. 1754 ........ *2nd Wife of Thomas Miller: ............ +Lucy Woodson b: Aft. 1754 ........ 2 Mary Miller b: March 08, 1756 ........ 2 Henry Miller b: September 25, 1758 ........ 2 Heath Jones Miller b: December 19, 1761 ............ +Elizabeth Guerrant b: Aft. 1761 Brian, I am of the opinion that William came from this family but haven't lniked him up yet, Have you seen any of these names in your search?

Got the following from the Watauga County Heritage Book: "William Miller came to America from England probably around early 1750s. The family moved to the Jersey Settlement near Lexington in late 1775, and then later to Lewis's Fork in Wilkes County. In 1783, the Millers with Nathan Horton, Ebenezer Fairchild and their families, moved from Lewis' Fork in Wilkes County to the area now known as Watauga County. The Miller's lived east of Boone, probably near present day Rutherwood." There is more if anyone is interested. Carla Stancil Townsend -----Original Message----- From: D. E.
