      John A. Miller, s/o Hannah Williams and John Frederick Milleris named as son in the above text. Frederick Miller, Abt 1751 - 1827
      +Mary Frances Carter
      - Bef 1821
      Daughter: Frances "Fanny" Miller, 1788 - 1857

      Frances Miller, was obviously an elder daughter of Frederick and Mary (Carter) Miller, for she was married to Thomas Hodges in Halifax County, Virginia and apparently lived in Caswell County, NC later, and did not accompany her parents to Maury County, Tennessee. On Sept. 22, 1829, Frances and Thomas Hodges gave William Miller
      (her brother?) of Maury County, Tennessee, Power of Attorney to secure their part of the estate of Frederick Miller (Halifax County DB37/354).
      Of the other daughters of Frederick and Mary Frances (Carter) Miller, even less information is known. Patsey (Martha) was married to James Higgs and possibly lived in Alabama. Giney (Jane) was married to Evan S. Polk. Elizabeth was the wife of Joseph Leymaster and Charlotte was married to William Sherrod on Oct. 14, 1816, in Maury County, Tennessee.
      "John A. Miller
      Son of John F. and Hannah (Williams) Miller. Born about 1841 in Maury County, Tennessee. There was a John Asbury Miller who served in Sparkman's Light Artillery, which was organized in Maury County during the Civil War."
