MILES, BROWN - My Miles relatives began in Charles City Co. VA where John Miles left land to 3 grandchildren in his will dated 1748. Later generations moved gradually to Franklin Co. VA prior to my direct relative leaving there in 1829 with a young family, spending 10 years in Pulaski Co., KY before going on to Macon Co. MO in 1839. Several known relatives stayed behind and several generations of these relatives have also been discovered living in the Roanoke area today. Ben Weisigers books have been invaluable. Ernest N. Miles
