    • Misc: 3 Nov 1815, Laurens, South Carolina, United States; accounting of father's estate

    Notes:

    Sally and Rebecca Miller are sisters. Both married Casons. One married Joseph Cason and one married John Cason. Both are married to Casons at the time of their father's death in 1814 and the administration of his estate. They seem to often be confused. The recorded documents clearly show that Sally married John and Rebecca married Joseph.

    Died of cholera during the epidemic of 1835 in Wilson Co. TN.

    Why do we think she was born and / or married in Georgia? Her parents were born, married, and died in South Carolina, Laurens County, mostly.


    Birth:
    I do not believe that Rebecca was born in Georgia. It appears that her family was in Laurens Co before and after her birth. It also makes little sense that they would go from Georgia back to South Carolina.

    Misc:

    Served in the Revolutionary War in the Quartermaster.

    John Miller served eighty days, from 9 January to 8 July, 1779 under Capt. John A. Sumners and Col. Waters.

    Birth order of his children matches the list in the estate papers, which probably listed them from oldest to youngest.

    There is a note in the estate about a charge against the estate for assessing land in Edgefield. It appears that John Miller may have had land in that county as well at the time of his death.

    There is a will from Hanse Miller in Will Book A that bequeaths property to John Miller. Is this his father?

    Possessions:
    William here is William Cason, Jr. His wife is Mary. Joshua Teague witnesses the transaction.

    Possessions:
    William Cason is certainly connected to Thomas Cason, John Cason, Giles Cason, and therefore, Joseph Cason.

    Possessions:
    This land is a part of a grant to Zebulon Mathis, John Miller's son-in-law.

    Probate:
    Probate opened on his estate. Son, George Miller, administrator

    Died:
    The death date has also been recorded as 2 Feb 1819, but the estate papers clearly say 1814.
