I have something very close to this.
I have a Nancy O'Bannon, b.abt. 1797 in Woodford Co, KY.On 17 Apr 1814, in Bath Co, KY (not VA) she m. Henry Lewis Miller (not Henry Miller Lewis).The pair may have wound up in Tuscumbia Co, AL, because she apparently died there after 1840.
I have three children for the pair: (1) Marian Miller, who m. John H. Gice on Jan 1837 in Tuscumbia Co, AL; (2) John Miller who may have been the John Miller in the 1840 census for Shreveport, Caddo Parish, LA; and (3) William Miller who seems to have been living in Texas in 1840.
Nancy O'Bannon was daughter of William O'Bannon (b.abt. 1771 in Salem (now Marshall), Fauquier Co, VA who was brother to famed Tripoli Marine hero Lt. Presley Neville O'Bannon.In 1796 William was in Woodford Co, KY where he married (1st wife) Margaret "Peggy" Francisco (b.abt. 1778 in Woodford Co, KY, d.bef 9 Mar 1805 in Breckinridge Co, KY)William d. there in Breckinridge Co, KY 19 Mar 1857.
Nancy had a younger sister, also named Margaret "Peggy" who also wound up in AL, plus a brother George Francisco O'Bannon, a noted Methodist Episcopal minister who wound up in Mattoon, Coles Co, IL.
I did not personally trace this line, but was given info by a descendant of Rev. George O'Bannon, one Teresa (O'Bannon) Brod, who can be reached by e-mail at: [email protected] may tell Teresa I referred you to her.
Hope this helps.If you have or find more info on this line, please do let me know.I can also provide ancestors to Nancy.Her great grandfather was John(2) and great great grandfather was Bryant(1), the pioneer who moved from Ireland to Virginia allegedly about 1702.
