Any information appreciated and will share what I have.

Valerie, I am curious about something that I just noticed a day or so ago but haven't had time to get back to you about it. Robinson Brigman's wife, Caroline Elizabeth Miller. I notice that you had John Miller & Tabitha Hammond as her parents. Any slim chance at all that these two would have been related in any way to Boswell Hammond & his wife Nancy Miller? They were married on 18 Nov 1831 in Oglethorpe Co., GA. I know Boswell & Nancy were in Heard County sometime in the early 1840s.

Hi.
You helped me out when I was getting started on the Miller history back in 2004. I thought you might like to know about my research that shows John Miller had been in Oglethorpe County for almost twenty years by the time he moved to Heard County. (He never lived in Carroll County. He was not in the 1827 Lottery. Probably four of his kids were born in Oglethorpe County.)
See Attachment.
PS - I also have supporting documents if you are interested.
