Rebecca Miller, d/o Martin Miller and Rebecca Douglas [S73] Deeds, http://millerworld.x10host.com/JFMTEMP/intro1_E.pdf. In Pittsylvania County, Virginia's Old Survey Book 1, p. 269, it is recorded that a 305 acre tract of land was surveyed for John Frederick Miller, on Stones Creek (then in Pittsylvania County, Virginia). While the survey was not dated, it appeared among others of the 1773-74 period. On October 26, 1779, John Frederick received a Patent for what seems to be the same 305 acres(Patent Book A, p. 37). This was one of four tracts which he authorized his son, Martin Miller, to sell in 1787, just prior to his death. [S160] Correspondence, Elizabeth Stein. Finally a name that I recognize! John Frederick Miller was one of my ancestors! aka Johann Friedrich Muller! He was the father of Martin Miller (c.1753-1814) whose first wife was Rebeckah Douglass (1768-1794, died 5 days after childbirth). Their daughter was Rebecca Miller (1794-?) who married Anderson Kirby (1790-1884). Their daughter was Sally Kirby (1835-?) who married Joseph E. Farmer (1830-?). Their daughter was Roberta Douglass Farmer (1873-1942) who married Arthur Eugene ("Dick") Taylor (1874-1935), my great grandfather. So that's at least one of our Taylor connections! By the way, before my father died, he gave Martin Miller's family Bible to the rare book collection of the public library in Chattanooga. I haven't seen it since 1987, but it should still be there!
