Hello shv,
I am very interested in the given name of "Miles" of one of Jesse's first group of children.Do you know the source of this name?
I am a Wills/Wells descendant of Miles Wills of Bertie.His eldest son was named Hardy, which is not found in the Wills family prior to Miles' generation.His sister, Elizabeth Wells(Wills) Draughon, wife of James Draughon of Edgecombe County, NC, had sons named Miles and Hardy, among others, so it appears that the "connection" must have come with the marriage(s) of Miles' father, John Wills of Bertie.The identity of John's wife is unknown at this time, although it has been speculated that he was married to a Hinton. (no documentation)
Would like to discuss this with you.
Best regards,
John Fox
Winston Salem, NC
