(WVa.)He died Dec.31,1877 and is buried in Lawerence Co. Rome Twp. He was married twice, 1st wife Sarah Henson. They had 4 chikdren: Mary- Miles Jr. b.1841, Served in the civil war in the 6th OVI.-Francis b.1845- Amasetta b. 1848. His 2d wife was Martha Whittington (Married abt 1853). They had 4 children.
