James Milesof Augusta County, Virginia,

and Chester County, South Carolina

First Generation

1. James Miles; born ca. 1720; died Chester Co., S. C., ca. 1781; married Unknown . Appearsto have had the following children: + 2. John Miles; "heir-at-law of James Miles"; born ca. 1744. + 3. Andrew Miles; baptized October, 1746.

4. Sarah Miles; baptized Feb. 27, 1749. + 5. Richard Miles; born ca. 1750; died 1803.

6. William Miles; born ca. 1752; died 1807. + 7. Charles Miles; born ca. 1754.

This is a record of James Miles and some of this descendants. James Miles was inAugusta Co., Va., in 1746 and appears to have had no connection with the James Miles, who wasa tavern keeper, plantation owner, shown in 1741 and 1751 as a resident of Radner Township,Chester Co., Pa.

James Miles, ca. 1720 - ca. 1781, is shown as father of Andrew Miles who was baptizedby Rev. John Craig in October, 1746 at North Mountain Meeting House, Augusta Co., Va., andas father of Sarah Miles baptized by Rev. John Craig on Feb. 27, 1749 at timber Grove, threemiles north of timber Ridge, August Co., Va.

James Miles was allowed expenses in 1754 by Augusta Parish for burying James Given. It is interesting to note that William Given signed a deed in Craven Co., S. C., when John Miles,heir at law of James Miles, deceased, deeded 200 acres part of the land of James Miles to CharlesMiles. The two families were still together two moves later when they arrived in northwesternLivingston Co., Ky., at what is now Carrsville where the first ferry across the Ohio River wasowned by Richard Miles and nearby lands on Givens Creek were owned by the Givens family. William Miles owned land adjoining Given's land - see herein. James Miles's wife may havebeen a Givens. By 1755 James Miles was living in Bedford County, Va., and he appears to bethe James Miles who received a North Carolina grant of land now located in Chester Co., S. C.on April 20, 1763, and who died there before August 5, 1782. James Miles's son William is saidto have been from Virginia.

James Miles is probably connected in some way with John and William Miles, both ofwhom are shown in Capt. John McDowell's Augusta Co., Va., Muster List of ca. 1742. JamesMiles could have been a son or younger brother of John Miles whose appraisement by James

Comment: The Livingston County Book of Platts should be examined to see if this 400acres shown above is the same 400 acres that William Miles sold June 4, 1806 to John Given(Livingston County, Ky., Deeds Volume B, page 443. If they are the same then there is littledoubt that Matilda was the wife of William Miles.

MilesSouth Carolina to Kentucky

Compiled for:Mr. Eugene E. Trimble5203 Flanders Avenue

Kensington Maryland, 2079520 April 1978

MilesThis family removed from Chester County, South Carolina to Kentucky. They were here

early, as witness the mention of a land grant as early as 1763, and they could have been beforethat date. Some of the land in the Turkey Creek/ Broad River area was settled as early as 1750's -the early land grants of 1754 being made by William Tryon, Governor of North Carolina whenthe area was still, in some cases, considered North Carolina territory.

I find your Miles first in this area of North Carolina/ South Carolina. Note that their landtheir neighbors are the same. So it can be taken for granted that they did not move.

The South Carolina Counties were not formed until 1785. The records we find recordedhere were recorded after Jan 1, 1785, though they may, some few of them, have been signedbefore that date.

I include in this compilation, a map drawn by Mr. E. 0. Parker, formerly connected withthe National Archives, of the area included in old Tryon County, N. C. ( S. C. )

Another reason for these records being in the Tryon County records was that SouthCarolina Government under the King had made no provision for the legal records of this area tobe recorded elsewhere than at Charleston. If you will consult your map you will see thatCharleston is about 150 miles from Chaster via our present direct highways. At that time it was

14

probably nearer 200-225, miles to be traveled. So is it any wonder that these early settlers tookthe Court House which was, perhaps 40/50 miles for their legal transactions?

A check of the Office of Probate Judge in Chester County shows no MILES willsintestate files. A check of the early Camden District, S. C. records show no wills in the Milesnames. However, I do not have a list of the intestate files there. It would seem from thestatement above that James Miles died intestate and that his son John Miles being the eldest soninherited under the old English law of primogeniture. This implies to my way of thinking thatthere were other and younger sons. ...LKC

**********

Note LKC-- This area was in Craven County of the Province of South Carolina, St.Marks Parish, prior to the Revolution. Most deeds were recorded in Charleston but in or abt.1776 things became dangerous on the long road from here to Charleston so many deeds wentunrecorded. It is generally believed that in this period many wills and deeds and intestate estateswere legally handled in Camden, then the county seat of Camden District - again this area. LordRawdon defeated the American Forces in 1780 at the Battle of Camden and destroyed the CourtHouse and such as were there. Though the S. C. counties were formed 1785 and land recordsbegan at that time, the Crt. of Ordinary for wills and intestacies was not established here inChester Co. until 1789. From 1782 - until 1789 we find these in the old Camden District recordsin Camden, S. C. ( Kershaw County C. H.)

**********

Note that no dower is signed by any of these Miles when they sell land. This does notnecessarily mean that the seller of the land was not married at the time. It just means that perhapsit was not convenient to have the wife sign8K the dower. This county is notoriously casual aboutdowers. Since there were no marriage records kept in S. C. prior to the 1911 Marriage Licenselaw, it makes proving marriages very difficult here. LKC.

**********

I am afraid I do understand all the " ramifications " of this but if it means what I think itdoes, it would seem that William Miles lost his shirt...maybe he fell into the hands of the bigwheeler-dealers in Charleston and that vicinity. ..such business .firms as Smith and associateswere some times of that caliber.

At any rate, I believe that shortly after this, he and his family joined the Adairs and otherswho had gone to Kentucky. It may be that William already had this in mind. Comment...LKC

21

The only de finite and documented genealogical material I was able to find here was thatJames Miles was apparently the earliest settler in the present Chester County, S. C. with a landgrant dated 20 April 1763. It is possible that he was here earlier, as sometimes the people whocame into the Colony or Province of South Carolina petitioned for their land some time, even ayear or so (or longer) before the grant was actually made.

John Miles was eldest son and heir-at-law of this early James Miles, who shows as havingdied before, August 1782. This is the only actual proof of relationship that I was able to find.

We see John Miles as witness to a deed ( Tryon Co. N.C. records, page 1 of thiscompilation) in 1769 and can assume that he was probably old enough (16 to 18 yrs) to be legallyresponsible, thus born ca. 1750, but probably before.

I would advance the thought that James Miles was probably the father of John who wasdefinitely his son and also of William, Richard and Charles. My other thought is that the wife ofJames was a sister either to John Sadler or Mary his wife. I am basing this on the fact that Sadler& Miles seem closely related in Kentucky and that John Sadler does not mention a Milesdaughter or her children in his 1783 will (pp 8 & 9 of this compilation) You will note hementions his COLN grandchildren. So if he had Miles grandchildren, I feel they would havebeen mentioned.

Col. Edward Lacey was for some reason estranged from his father as a child. He wasreared by William & Mary Adair, parents of Gov. John Adair. The will of Edward Lacey is onfile here and I enclose from the file a copy ef the Typed will. The original is in the file and I willget you a copy ir you wish.

Col. Edward Lacey and his father were on opposite sides during the Revolutionary War,as you probably know. In view of the connection which your Miles have with the Laceys youprobably know far more of the family than I. I have heard that the Draper papers give a list of thechildren or Col. Edward Lacey, but have no reference and have never seen the list.

There is a tale that Col. Edward Lacey and others tied up the elder Lacey (after capturinghim) prior to the Battle of Williamson' S Plantation to keep the older man from warning theBritish of the plan the Americans had made to attack. I cannot remember the reference where Iread this story , nor the other reference I had that Colonel Lacey was blind in one eye, and that herode a one-eyed horse and owned a one-eyed dog. Maybe you can tell me where I got these twostories. I think last one is an error, but it makes a good tale..colorful, if not accurate.

Sorry that I could not rind out more family data for you.LKC

Note: LKC: Prior to the Revolution all legal transactions were recorded in Charleston,though some pertaining to this area are found in N. C., due to the confusion of the location of theboundary line. Due to the long distance, and also to the danger of the Whig/Tory situation, manydocuments were held and recorded after the counties were formed in 1785.

For a brief period before the counties were formed, wills were probated and estates wereadministered in this area in Camden, then the seat of Camden District; of which early ChesterCounty was a part. Camden was a judicial District. Hence the will of JOHN SADLER is foundnow in Camden C. H.

**********Comment:

Note that John, Samuel & George Conn are named in that order. It was often the customto name children in wills in order of age and this gives a hint that George Conn, whom we knowto have been born on the 2nd November 1758, was probably the youngest child.

It would be wonderful if somewhere we could locate the" Bible" that John Sadler left tohis son George. However, in the absence of such a record, we can probably make a fairly correct,if rough, estimate of the age of this John Sadler.

If George, born 1758, was the youngest child of his parents, then John the oldest, wasprobably born 1755, as his statement that he was 77, in 1832 would indicate. His mother wasborn, then, ca. 1735 or earlier. Her father was probably born about 1710 or earlier, but we canestimate his birth as 1705-1710 end that of his wife about 1710-1712.

John Conn states in his pension application that his parents died when he was "an infant" that is, a small child. This would place their death somewhere about 1760-1762.

Further research in the early Pennsylvania and SW Virginia records might yield earlierdata on these Sadlers.

The Richard Sadler of Fishing Creek may have been brother or nephew of this JOHNSadler and not the son Richard mentioned in his main will.
