Four hundred years of history reveal a family that survived the
times, as they struggled to be successful and persevered against
tragedy, moral dilemmas or ambivalence, and the changing landscape
of America. Their story affords the opportunity to examine both the
broad strokes of history as they left England, Ireland, and
Scotland and the smaller details of life of the common man (and
woman and child) as they emigrated from the large coastal
plantations of their forefathers to Tennessee hill country before
the Civil War to small town U.S.A. in the Midwest at the turn of
the 19th century. Biographies of six Miller siblings, all born in
the early 20th century just before the Great Depression, complete
this saga of American life as it unfolded from Jamestown to 1950s
mid-century modern. Photographs, maps, documents, and a Proper Name
Index will aid the genealogical researcher in finding their own
roots. Also included are Ancestors and Descendants charts with
numerous surnames, including: Andrews, Banks, Beauchamp, Buchanan,
Chandler, Claiborne, Cook, Eads, Fleming, Gainer, Grimes,
Jefferson, Jeffress, Johnson, Miller, Montgomery, Roseland, Royall,
Royster, Southerland, Steely, Stokes, Stone, Sudbury, Taylor,
Thompson, Turpin, Walker, Ward, Wheatley, Whitley, Whitworth, and
many others.
