MILLER, James M.
I need any information on the family of James M. Miller and his family. (I suspect the M. stands for Monroe).They were listed on the 1860 and 1870 census for Dalton, Whitfield County, Ga. James is listed with his first wife, Frances, in 1850 in East Armuchee, Walker County, GA. They had John M., Martha E., Frances B., Mary S. and possibly Hester A. Then James' first wife, Frances, (may be Thompson or Sprayberry) must have died between 1850 and 1854 because he then married a younger woman, Sarah E., who is listed on the 1860 and 1870 census with an additional child named Josephine E. (our ancester). By 1870 the couple had added Jefferson Davis Miller , George F., William L. and Lula L.
Sarah Miller is next found on the 1880 Pittsburg, Johnson County, Arkansas census two doors from her daughter, Josephine Denson. Jefferson Davis and George F. Davis are living with her. Mr. Miller must have died between 1860 and 1870 and I suspect near Little Rock, Arkansas. I would love to know who Sarah was and what happened to her husband and where he is buried. Josephine ended up living in the Lonoke and Prairie County, Arkansas area for the remainder of her life.

SMITH, Annie Winston
Researching Annie Winston SMITH, b. 12/16/1880 in Dalton, Whitfield Co., GA. Her parents were James 'Benjamin' SMITH and Nancy Jane. Her father could also be a Bennet SMITH. One incongruous fact is that the James 'Benjamin' SMITH identified by his grandson as Annie's father was supposedly born in 1870 - a mere 10 years before his daughter Annie. He is said have died 3/1/1922 and to be buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Cartersville, Bartow Co., GA. The obituary of the J. H. SMITH who died this date and is buried at Oak Hill says that he died in Alabama and was an 'unmarried man'. I have a Confederate Soldier's Pension application for a J. B. SMITH from Company B of the 18th GA Regiment filed in Cartersville, Bartow Co., GA in 1912. He says that his wife N. J. owns a home and a lot in Marietta, GA. There is mention of a son but not a daughter. His daughter Annie DID marry John Austin Casey of Atlanta, Fulton, GA. They married about 1900 - no record found. The men in the family were involved with railroads and moved around a lot. Any ideas or leads on this are appreciated.
Contact Diane Casey with any information. ~ 5/18/03
