• "Middlesex County, Virginia Wills, Inventories & Accounts, 1673-1812" - by William Lindsay Hopkins - 1989: "(p.225) Christopher Miller ..... 17 Sep 1770 / 22 Apr 1782.... WIfe Ann Miller land adjoining my mother's dwelling place. My three children viz William Miller, John Miller and Fanney Dabney Miller. Wit: Thomas Bland and Elizabeth Kidd. Ann Miller is executrix."
• From Middlesex County, Virginia Wills, Inventories & Accounts 1673 - 1812 by William Lindsay Hopkins (1989):

9/17/1770: Christopher Miller records his will which is not probated until 4/22/1782 (the same year that John Miller likely died): "Wife Ann Miller land adjoining my mother's dwelling place. My three children viz William Miller, John Miller and Fanney Dabney Miller. Wit: Thomas Bland and Elizabeth Kidd. Ann Miller is executrix." So it appears this Christopher did marry to an Ann (Unknown) and they had three children living in 1770 and likely these children were living in 1782 when the will was probated since no changes in the will seemed to occur.

4/22/1782: Christopher Miller's will above was probated indicating he had died by this date.

10/10/1807: It appears "Fanny" Dabney Miller was still living and unmarried - since surname still is Miller (about 37 years old in 1807) so likely did not have any children. Source Middlesex County, Virginia Wills, Inventories & Accounts, 1673-1812; published 1989:

"(p.494) Neils Winnng... 10 Oct 1807 / 24 Dec 1810... Wife Ann Winning. Fanny Dabney Miller ' at the death of her mother'. Isham Miller 'after the death of his mother'. Exors: David Palmer and Isham Miller. Wit: Tomas Clar, Moses Walker and Stage Humphres." (assume "Tomas Clar" maybe a Thomas Clark)
