Hi cousins, I will attempt to clear up a mistake I keep finding on http://www.Rootsweb.com. At the bottom of page 332 of John Preston Arthur's "A History of Watauga County", in the information about the MILLER FAMILY is a clue that should clear up something I keep finding on Rootsweb. I think this will help clear something up for some folks. JPR's book is online here: http://www.geocities.com/familysnooper/Arthur/contents.html You can also go to the NCGenWeb Archives and do name searches in the book. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nc/watauga.htm "Miller Family.-- According to Clyde C. Miller, of Sands, N.C., there is a tradition that, several years before the Revolutionary War, three young men, a Horton, a Miller and Baird, all married sisters named Eldridge and moved to the upper Yadkin from Pennsylvania. They probably came with the Jersey settlers. Tradition also gives this Miller the name of William and credits him with having fought in the Revolution. His son, David, was one of the first settlers in the bounds of what is now Watauga county, near Meat Camp Creek. David Miller and Levi Murphey or Morphew were constables and called the first court in Watauga to order. David had twelve children, seven sons and five daughters: Wayne, David, John, William, Joseph, Ephriam and Jonathan: Lydia, who married a Bingham, Rebecca, who married Battle Bryan; Polly, who married a Lookabill; Elizabeth, who married an Allison, and Nancy, who married a Lewis. Wayne's sons were: William, James, Daniel, Jonathan and Alfred. David, a brother of Wayne, was the father of Clingman, who has been for years in the State of Washington; George, Mrs. L. D. Cole [Sharon's note - Mrs. L. D. Cole was named Martha Angeline and the "L.D." was for Lorenzo Dow] and Mrs. George Moody were also children of Wayne. Daniel lived and died on Cove Creek." The mistake I keep finding is that Lorenzo Dow Cole's wife was the daughter of David Miller, Jr. and Elizabeth Bingham. They did have a daughter names Martha Angeline, but she is not the one who married Lorenzo Dow Cole. If someone has more light to shed on this, please jump in. Sharon Williamson
