Blair; You have piqued my interest as some of your research parallels my own. My husband's family is from Stewart Co., > TN, Ed Joyce. I have been having the best time researching and will > share anything since everyone has been so generous to me! > Ed's Grandparents were Pinkney Miles & Emily Elizabeth Joyce. He was > adopted by his uncle Ottie Joyce and Lilly Boyd Riggins Joyce. On that > branch I have the Miles back to Samuel Miles (1780-1856). Pinkney Miles is my 1st cousin 3xs removed. Samuel is my 4th g grandfather. This is as far back as I have been able to go on my Miles line. The Parkers > back to Aaron Parker b. 1803 in Stewart Co. d. 1847 Stewart Co. I am > trying to find his parents. Aaron Parker (who I show died in Novemeber 1849) is my 3rd g grandfather. I have not been able to locate his parents either. My paternal grandmother was Edna Lee Miles d/o George Anderson and Mary C Hutchison Miles. Deanna W
