    In the booklet, Virginia Public Claims, Halifax County, we find the following notes of interest: (p. 3/5)
    At a Court of Public Claims Continued and held for Halifax at the Court house thereof on 22 April 1782 ... Jno. F. Miller for 3- 75# beef L 3-15; 1/2 bu Indian Corn meal ls-3;
    feeding 3-9 beeves 19s-6 Cont....(p. 41)
    At a court of Public Claims held for Halifax County at the Courthouse thereof on Monday 4 March 1782 Pursuant to an Act of the General Assembly entitled An Act for adjusting Claims for property impressed or taken for Public service'...Jno. Frederick Miller 1 Waggon 52 days, 1 horse & driver 16 days L 8-10; 500# beef L 5; 1/2 bu Indian Corn 1s-3; forrage for 50 horses 1 day L 1- 11-3; 50 diets L 3.2.6, 150 # fodder 4s-6.
    In the first instance above, we see that during the
    Revolutionary War John Frederick furnished beef and corn meal to the Continental Army, as well as, feeding some of its cattle. In the second case, he presented a claim for even more services, which included feeding 50 horses and men, for a day, and furnishing the military with a wagon and driver for the periods specified.

    Halifax County, which extends to the North Carolina border, was a tobacco growing region, as it still is today. It is in the middle of Southaide Virginia, in tke Piedmont
    Pleateau of rolling hills leading to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and today it appears that this land, in the southwest corner of the county, is in the area that forms something of a
    triangle between secondary state Highways #691 and #659 (the River Road), very near the present community of Paces and possibly nine or so miles southwest of the county seat, also called Halifax. On a larger scale this area is south of U. S. #360 and north of U. S. #58. The tiny town of Turbeville, once called Bloomsburg, is about four miles southeast from where Tobys Creek flows into the Dan River. Danville, in adjacent Pittsylvania County is about 25 miles southwest from this point.

    Connie Spring
    Johann Fredrich Mueller/Muller - Miller was the father of Frederick Miller. Johann Anglicized his name to Miller. He settled in Halifax County.
    Frederick, his son, and Mary Frances [Carter] had 10 children - apparently most born in Halifax County, VA, if not all. Frederick appears with the tithables in Halifax County 1782-1809. He purchased items from an estate in Maury County, TN Oct. 28, 1815. (1) Frances Miller b. July 24, 1789 in Halifax County, VA d. December 3, 1857 in Caswell County, NC. m. August 12, 1809 Thomas Hodges in Halifax County, VA. (my line)
    (2) Charlotte Miller b. ca. 1791 d. 1883 m. Oct 14, 1816 William H. Sherrod in Maury County

    If you are interested in Frances Miller and Thomas Hodges, they had 11 children. LOTS of descendants. Thought you might like to know that the Muellers/Mullers have been traced to Henrich Mueller b. ca. 1612 in Gerichtasschoffe, Germany. I'll be happy to share information. connie
