  Notes	Halifax County, which extends to the North Carolina border, was a tobacco growing region, as it still is today. It is in the middle of Southside Virginia, in the Piedmont Pleateau of rolling hills leading to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and today it appears that this land, in the southwest corner of the county, is in the area that forms something of a triangle between secondary state Highways #691 and #659 (the River Road), very near the present community of Paces and possibly nine or so miles southwest of the county seat, also called Halifax. On a larger scale this area is south of U. S. #360 and north of U. S. #58. The tiny town of Turbeville, once called Bloomsburg, is about four miles southeast from where Tobys Creek flows into the Dan River. Danville, in adjacent Pittsylvania County is about 25 miles southwest from this point.

Sherrod, 1788 - 1881 Frances Miller, was obviously an elder daughter of Frederick and Mary (Carter) Miller, for she was married to Thomas Hodges in Halifax County, Virginia and apparently lived in Caswell County, NC later, and did not accompany her parents to Maury County, Tennessee. On Sept. 22, 1829, Frances and Thomas Hodges gave William Miller (her brother?) of Maury County, Tennessee, Power of Attorney to secure their part of the estate of Frederick Miller (Halifax County DB37/354). Of the other daughters of Frederick and Mary Frances (Carter) Miller, even less information is known. Patsey (Martha) was married to James Higgs and possibly lived in Alabama. Giney (Jane) was married to Evan S. Polk. Elizabeth was the wife of Joseph Leymaster and Charlotte was married to William Sherrod on Oct. 14, 1816, in Maury County, Tennessee.
