[His wife's brother].
  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.

[S107] Family Histories, http://millerworld.x10host.com/JFMTEMP/intro1_E.pdf. Heads of Families-Virginia, 1785, reveals that the John F. Miller household consisted of four white people and two dwellings. Harman Miller's house included ten whites and one dwelling. On the 1787 Tax List for Halifax County, Virginia, we find John Federick Mller being charged with a tax and a John Miller, next to him, whose tax was also charged to John Federick Milner.. This was obviously a father and son. Harman Miller, son of John Frederick, was also nearby, and listed as Harman Milner. For some unknown reason, the Miller name was occasionally confused with that of several Milner families who also lived in Halifax and Pittsylvania Counties. In probating John Frederick's Will, his widow was referred to as Mary Milner. The 1820 Federal Census for Laurens County, South Carolina, also shows Martin Miller listed as Martin Milner. It's possible that a German accent, in the family, may have been a contributing factor to the confusion of the names. [S32] Find-A-Grave.com, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/101228022.
