Lucian, Well you stumped me. I didn't have the census record for DC Miller and I don't have Thomas Pool Bateman in my records. It could be that he was just working on DCs farm. But, I think there might be more to it than that. What if, just thinking out loud, they were cousins by marriage? Dave's mother was Mary Polly Duncan. The Duncans and the Clarks married: Hiram W. Duncan (Mary's cousin) m. Elizabeth Clark. Elizabeth's Clark's half brother married Emeline Howell (b. 1829) parents unknown. I have a Elizabeth Howell born in 1825 who married a Thomas Jefferson Welch, whose mother was a Bryant. The Bryants and Duncan's also married. David's sister married into the Beasley Branch and the Beasleys and Clarks were also related. So there are a few different possible connections, but I haven't looked into it before. I may not have all of David Millers children, but none of the ones I do have married Howells or Batemans. I have the spouse surnames: Brown, Worley Williams, Hooten, Baker, Hunt, Savage and Lyell and Allen. (Incidently another Worley who was related: Ruth Worley was the mother of Capt. Jack Sullivan whose wife was Tennessee Ann Clark, daughter of Alexander Clark. Capt. Jack was killed by DC Miller.) The Batemans I have were married to Adams, Malray, Wiseman, Daves, Glyg, Loggins, Tidwell, Overby and Hood. This needs further exploration. Sorry, I have no answers for you.

Hi How much do you have on the Hooten in your note? I have a T.C. "Lum" Hooten who married a Hadie Miller. ----- Original Message ----- From: <PaperHeath@aol.com> To: <TNHICKMA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, November 13, 2000 9:55 AM Subject: Re: Re: [TNHICKMA] Surnames - Duncan, Lampley, Sullivan, Robinson, Clark, Bryant, Rainey Lucian, Well you stumped me.
