Carla, Thank you for your response, First about The Jersey Settlement; http://www.tamu.edu/ccbn/dewitt/mckstmerjersey.htm I am not sure about how close to Meatcamp this was but the two places are connected to William Miller. Anyway, I am interested in your Mary Eldridge and William Miller. This William Miller would be the William Lambert Miller who married Polly Eldridge. I had her name as "Polly" and it was Mary "Polly' as I now show. Mary was the daughter of Thomas II and Martha Bolling born in 1740. I am not sure about the father of William Miller. I have his father as Heinrich Mueller Miller born about 1710. I have this also on William and Mary; From Margaret DeLong; "Wm. and Polly settled in Lewis Fork, Wilkes Co., NC. They were charter members of the Boone's Ford Church. In 1755 they were members of Jersey Baptist Church in Rowan. They were also charter members of the Three Forks Baptist Church which was org. in 1790" So you can see my interest in the Jersey BAptist Church as well. I have Wm. and Mary with seven children, Descendants of William Miller (REV.
