| Biography |
1810 |
- The 1810 Census shows her as Comfort Miles, head of family. There were no free white males listed. Free white females included 1 under age 10, 1 between age 16 and 26 and 1 over age 45. Comfort is assumed to be the oldest, born before 1765. The 1820 Census does not list a Comfort Miles. However, the 1830 Census shows her again as Comfort Miles, head of family. There were no free white males listed. Free white females included only 1 between age 50 and 60, implying that Comfort was born 1770-80. The ranges of these three births: 1755-74, before 1765, and 1770-80 do not have a common overlay between them. Based on these dates, the best guess at her birth is circa 1768, which is consistent with her marriage to George Miles in 1790, when she would have been about age 22. Since she is not listed in the 1840 Census as a head of family and there were no free white females listed in any other Miles families matching her age, it is assumed that she died between 1830 and 1840. Therefore, her death is shown as circa 1835.
