Return to the Land

Acknowledgements

A debt of gratitude is due to Harvey Vaden Miller, Jr. Vaden spent considerable time searching our past. He remains enthusiastic that more information of the preceding lineage of Charles T. Miller will be forthcoming if we are diligent enough to keep looking and asking questions. Tenacity is one of Vaden’s ancestral traits. Much of this could not have been possible without the help of my Aunt Lenore Miller Jarrell. She was gracious enough to spend time relating facts and stories of her parents and siblings. She shared with us pictures and letters that add significantly to this history. Special thanks goes to Margie Miller Thompson and her son Michael Thompson for bringing their research to this book. Parke Coleman Bogle, a relative and genealogist, shared with me much information on the Miller line and produced many facts, which would not have been recorded without her assistance. I am especially grateful for the information that she recalled concerning the children of Charles T. and Anna McNeil Miller. Many of whom she knew. And above all, much love and gratitude is given to my wife Janet Bird Miller for assisting me throughout this process and my daughter Sara Miller Clark for organizing and setting the material in its final form.

Vaden Miller, Jr. .
