Leonard, How is it possible that Richard Milner died 13 months before his son Beverly was born??? I have the family of Travis and Lavina Barnes Milner. Their son DeMarcus Henry Milner and wife Levinia Nancy Everett had 2 sons that were Confederate Veterans, Reuben Henry, and DeMarcus Sylvester. They also had a daughter named Beverly born 1850. There is also a daughter of Travis shown named Beverly J. born 9/17/1895. Is there a connection of this family to your Beverly R. Milner?

Milner was born on December 20, 1820 in Halifax County, Virginia. A little over a year before his birth, his father, Richard, died on November 10, 1820 and he was raised by his mother, Martha (Jones). On December 26, 1840, he took his bride-to-be, Mary Short Roby, then 15 years old, to Pittsylvania County where his sister, Sarah, lived. There they were married by John Webb with William Compton, his brother-in-law, as bondsman and George Carter Roby, Mary's father, as signer of the certificate. By this time, mother Martha, had moved to Pittsylvania County to live with her daughter, Sarah, and although not shown in the official record, probably attended the marriage ceremony of her youngest son. Family tradition has it that Beverly and a friend had started west southwest toward Tennessee and, along the way, Beverly decided that he could not leave his sweetheart, Mary Roby. So he returned to Virginia to ask for Mary's hand in marriage. After their marriage in ! 1840, they returned to Halifax County and there their first child, Martha J., was born in 1842. Beverly's father, Richard, had left to him a set of shoemaker's tools (Will) and the 1850 Federal Census for Rutherford County, Tennessee shows him plying this trade in McCrackin's District (Murfreesboro). The couple had four more children while in Rutherford County: George William born 1/1/1844; Oliff Roby born 8/27/1847; Olivia Emiline born in 1848; and Leonard D. born 8/5/1851. The latter is my Great-grandfather. Later, they moved to the Gardner area of Weakley County, Tennessee and after that, to Pierce Station. During this interim, the next seven children were born: Sarah Elizabeth born December 1854; Beverly R., Jr. born in 1856; Mary E. born in May 1858; an infant girl born in February 1860 (who died a month later); Emerson Etheridge born in february 1862; Ulysses S. Grant born in January 1865; and Isaac W. born in February 1867. The family attended and were active i! n Chapel Hill (United Methodist?) Church Martha J. appears in the 186 0 census but is gone by the 1870 census with the presumption that she married in the interim and has been untraceable since. There are complete files on the rest of the children. Mary died on Tuesday, July 12, 1893 at their country home in Pierce Station and Beverly died 3 years later on June 25, 1896. Both are buried in Chapel Hill cemetery. Leonard Milner DeBary, FL No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Joe, If you notice the dates, you will realize that I mada a typo-should have been month instead of year. Yes, there is a connection between Beverly Jones and Beverly R.--they were first cousins, both born in Halifax County to brothers, Richard and Travis, sons of Mark Milner.
