Dear friends of Watauga County, NC and all Miller researchers, I have found some connections I need to share with you and hope you will find time to read and let me know your thoughts. I have more to share, but to put it all down in one sitting would be exhausting for you and me. I am more than willing to talk about any of the following and welcome additions or corrections to what appears here. I have been researching names of the Founders of The Three Forks Church in Watauga and connections to families I am most familiar with in Madison County, Ky and no surprise when most every name on the church list connects in some way or another. A few follow; 1- I found Samuel Wilcoxson Sr. at the Three Forks Baptist Church in Watauga County, NC in 1790. He had a son Alfred Wilcoxson who married Sarah "Sallie" Miller b. 1794-1804 d/o Jacob Miller III b. 1751 in Lunenburg County, Va. and died Sept. 19, 1840 in FRANKLIN COUNTY, TN. This Jacob was the son of Jacob and Elizabeth Fudge and grandson of Jacob Miller Sr and MARGARET CATRINA MUELLER. I believe this Margaret Catrina to be the daughter of Johann Peter Mueller and sister of Adam Mueller 1703 who married Maria Anna Barbara Koger. 2- I found Benjamin Cutbirth 1740 also at the same church in 1790. He married Elizabeth Wilcoxson (1742) in Rowan County in 1762. She would be the sister of Samuel Wilcoxson mentioned above. Mary Cutbirth 1772, d/o Ben and Elizabeth, married Elijah Calloway (b 1769) son of Thomas Calloway II and Jude Ann Moffett. Mary Cutbirth brother Benjamin Jr, (b 1764) married the sister of Elijah, Salina Calloway b 1764. Thomas Calloway II was the son of Colonel Thomas Calloway 12 Oct 1700 and Mary Baker. Richard Calloway b 1717 married Frances Walton and Richard was killed at Fort Boonesborough in 1780. This is a stretch, but non the less another Miller link. Richard's son Zachariah "Nathaniel" Calloway b 04 Sept 1750 married Susannah Miller b. ca 1755 and she was the d/o Captain Simon Miller IV b ca 1719 and Ann Robertson Bell. Simon Miller was born in Richmond, Henrico County, VA. The Calloway was represented at Three Forks Church in 1790 by James . James C Calloway married to Sarah Bramlett, son of Col. Thomas and Mary Baker, brother to Elizabeth Calloway b. 1725 and married to Zachariah Isbell Sr. b 1722. Here is the Miller connection, Zach Isbell Jr. b 1750 married Elizabeth Miller b 1750-1760. She was the d/o John Miller b 1730-1740 and Hannah Isbell. (I don't know Hannah's parents.) JOHN MILLER, THE SON OF ABRAHAM 'THE ELDER' MILLER, (1720-1725) WHO WAS BORN IN GERMANY BUT LIVED IN BOTETOURT COUNTY, VA. It is my THEORY that Heinrich Mueller Miller b 1710 and Christian Miller Sr b 1720 were brother's of Abraham 'The Elder" and he the father of William Miller b. 1735 and married to Mary "Polly" Aldridge. Descendants of Abraham 'The Elder" Miller 1 Abraham 'The Elder" Miller b: Bet. 1720 - 1725 in Germany, lived in Botetourt County, VA. ........ 2 John Miller b: Bet. 1730 - 1740 in Augusta County, VA. ............ +Hannah Isbell .................. 3 Hannah Miller b: Abt. 1743 in Augusta County, VA. ...................... +Isaac Robinson .................. 3 Mary MIller ...................... +William Field .................. 3 Elizabeth Miller b: Bet. 1750 - 1760 in VA. ...................... +Zachariah Jr Isbell b: Abt. 1750 in Bedford, VA. ........ 2 Jemima Miller ............ +John Thomas ........ 2 Abraham "Younger" Miller b: March 01, 1771 in Botetourt County, VA. ............ +Sarah Givens b: March 15, 1775 in Augusta County, VA. .................. 3 Deborah "Debbie" Miller b: December 21, 1804 in Lncoln County, KY. ...................... +James Miller Carpenter b: 1832 .................. *2nd Husband of Deborah "Debbie" Miller: ...................... +John Carpenter b: 1806 .................. 3 George Givens Miller b: December 01, 1802 in Ky ...................... +America Carpenter ........ 2 Deborah Miller ............ +James Davis b: Bet. 1740 - 1750 There remain many connections as a result of this and hope those of interest will help in researching and summarizing.
