Biography

I have come across another child's' name in an unsourced Tree[4]. Vashti Anna. Elizabeth lists 8 children born to her in a census record with only 6 living. I have found Miles in one record but have not found Vashti. Vashti was the name of one of Miles (Sr.) Aunts with whom he corresponded while he was away at war.^[1]

In the 1880 Census ^[2] she and her family are living in Pigeon, Haywood County, North Carolina.

Living in Cross Anchor Township (south part), Spartanburg, South Carolina in the 1900 Census. ^[3]
