     On 25 Feb 1811, a deed from Rachel Miles to George Miles was partly proved by the oath of James Ailworth a witness thereto. On 29 Jul 1811, it was fully proved by the oath of Robert Hickman and William W. Burton (Acc Orders, 1809-1811, p. 275). Rachel Miles, mother of Ralph Justice, was involved in a partition suit. This was a partition suit with William Justice, Jr., Samuel Justice, William White & Nancy, his wife, Rachel Miles, Obed Adams & Anna, his wife, Robert P. Broadwater & Sally his wife, Amey Rowley and Richard Nock vs. Polly, Anna & Tabitha Justice, infants. It reveals that Rachel's first husband, Richard Justice, died and that Thomas Justice, one of their sons, destroyed his father's will because he was not included in it. In rectifying the situation, all the heirs of Richard Justice and Rachel are identified (Acc Land Causes, 1812-1821, p. 230). [COPY THE FULL TEXT HERE WHEN TIME PERMITS -- THE HEIRS ARE IN THE DATABASE] Since there were no Miles children listed in Rachel's will it is assumed that she had no children by Roger Miles, and that George and Ann Miles, who were listed in Roger's will, were Roger's children by an earlier marriage.

     The following is from Ms. Turman's Miles Family report. -- "David Miles, son of William, was married when the 1800 Census was taken and a notation identified him as the son of William. He was under 26 years of age and there were one male under 5 and two females, one under 26 and another between 26 and 45 years of age in his household. The next reference to David Miles was 29 Dec 1806, when he was security for the marriage of Savage Broadwater to Nancy Broadwater. "Daivd married Margaret whose last name was not found. She died before 1824, when David sold his livestock and some household furniture. From the members of his household in the 1800 Census, it appears that David and Margaret had other children, but only one son has been identifed. No record of an administration has been found for David to date. [Sources: 1800 Acc Parish, Acc Co Census; 1820 Census; Nottingham's Marriage License Bonds, Acc Co, pp 5 & 50; Acc Co Deeds, 1824-25, p39].

     It appears that James became a successful business man and money lender at an early age.
