Research Notes

Note from Helen Miller: Please know that all of my tree may not be totally accurate as most was compiled by Joyce Miller and her knowledge of the family. (Word of mouth) Some was taken from Censuses and Cemeteries. A small bit was also taken from a booklet written by a Mrs. Ernest Bond of Osyka, MS on John Bond, Sr and Thomas J. Miller families. According to Mrs. Joyce Miller, my mother-in-law's mother was a descendant of the Thomas J Miller family also. Thomas J. Miller first married Marritty (Ritt) Dillon. His second wife was Mattie Dillon, and thirdly he married Nancy Brock. Mattie was a sister to Ritt. I recall Mr. Marvin talking about Thomas Miller. He would say that "Ole Tom had three wives and 23 children" (there may have been more than 23 children).
