Elmore Horace Miles ("Fred"). married my gr grandmother's sister Agnes Maude Bonnett (born 1867). The same generation as your gr-grandmother Cynthia. "Fred" and Cynthia could be brother and sister or maybe cousins. I wonder how common the name Miles was at that time in Caledonia county. I do not know who the parents of Elmore Horace (Fred) Miles were. Agnes had four children: Harold (b 1909), Mabelle, Clarence and Agnes. Clarence married Blanche Helene Heath. That's about all I know at this time. I'll keep your letter on file too.
