John William Edward Myles and Sarena Dillon

John William Edward MYLES was born 17 March 1844 to Isaac Abner MYLES and Samantha Bickham Clower MYLES.

John was married 7 Sept 1865, at 21, to Sarena (Serena) “Rene” A. MILLER, b. 1846 MS. She was the daughter of Thomas MILLER and Maritty (Maritta) DILLON..

John and Sarena had the following children:

  • Newton R. b. 15 August 1866, Franklinton area, LA, died 7 Sept 1868 at the age of 2.
  • Nancy “Nora” Lenora b. 18 Nov 1867.
  • Isaac Thomas b. 7 March 1869 m. Lucy
  • Lucy Virginia b. 1871 Jan 28 married James Leon HENNESY
  • Samantha R. b. 10 Feb 1873
  • Margaret Maritta “Ritta” b. abt. 1875 according to the 1880 census
  • George b. 1877 Louisiana
  • John b. 1880-1887
  • Malissa b. c. 1884 married Henry Buchanan Crow
  • Lillie L. b. 1880 according to the 1880 census
  • Effie b. c. 1887 Louisiana married William J. Carpenter

Edward MYLES is given by his descendants as having been a farmer and county surveyor. In the 1880 census he is shown as being a schoolteacher.

In “LOUISIANA GENEALOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SOCIETY, BE IT KNOWN AND REMEMBERED Volume Two Bible Records 1961: Pages 1 – 60 Bible of Samanthy Lewis” Edward MYLES is given as having married Sarena MILLER, not Lucy MILLER as per some of the initial info I’d been given. This fits in with Jean Kearns having written of Edward’s spouse being Rene. Rene would be a nickname of Sarena.

Notes on children in bible:

Newton R. 1st child of Ed MYLES and Serena
Nancy Lenora, 2nd child of Ed and Serena called Nora
3rd child of same, Isaac Thomas — Ambus’ father
4th child was Lucy.
5th child was Samantha
6th child was Margaret Maritta, called “Ritta”

Joint statement of Lillie MYLES, Malissa Myles CROW and Olivia Bickham NETTERVILLE (1st 2 daughters of Ed Myles, and last, dau. of Abner Clower BICKHAM).

“Four little ones of Ed and Serena in order: a crippled boy — Lillie, single — John — Malissa married CROW –Effie, now dead, married Will CARPENTER.”

Lillie is the Lyly L. seen in the 1880 census.

Edward may be seen in the Washington Parish 1888 Voter Registration Record. I have thus far located the family in the following censuses:

Thomas Miller and Maritta Dillon

Thomas Miller was born abt. 1822 in MS. In the 1880 census he gives his father as born in TN and his mother as born in MS. He married Maritty (Maritta) DILLON, also born abt. 1822 in Mississippi.

Thomas and Maritty had the following children:

  • Samantha b. 1842 MS
  • Merril N. b. 1844 MS
  • Sarena (Serena) “Rene” A. b. 1846 MS married John William Edward MYLES
  • William N. b. 1848 MS
  • Eliza E. b. 1850 MS

The 1850 Pike County MS census has a 4 year old Sarena MILLER in the household of Thomas MILLER born in Mississippi. They are living near a James T. DILLON who is of age to be a brother to Maritty DILLON. I would imagine that the Simon MILLER living beside Thomas is a brother.

A Richard DILLON b. 7 Oct. 1745 in Ireland or Norfolk VA (d. Pike Co. MS) and Annys MORRIS (b. 1762 in Bertie Co. NC) were the parents of Joanna DILLON b. 1778 in Bertie Co. NC, Nancy Ann, Lawrence, Clarkson, Willis, Mary, Theophilous and Clara. Joanna DILLON connects up with the family as will be shown in a moment.

As to Mary and Lawrence, siblings of Joanna, Belvin J. Creel is shown as querying Washington Parish Rootsweb about a Moses MILLER b. abt. 1790 who was the second husband of Mary DILLON (Salathiel MORRIS the first husband) b. abt. 1792; and Dicey MILLER who was the second wife of Lawrence DILLON (b. 1783 in Bertie Co. NC), he marrying first Martha JACKSON. As stated above, they were descendants of of Richard and Annys DILLON. Richard (1745-1833) was a Revolutionary War Soldier who settled in the southern section of present-day Walthall County, MS, his family spilling over into Washington Parish. Another son, Clarkson DILLON, married a Sarah GILL. (Should be noted here that Thomas and Maritty DILLON MILLER’s granddaughter, Lucy MYLES, married James Leon HENNESY, whose grandfather, Isaac HENNESY, was married to a Judith Ann GILL.)

Judith GILL and Isaac HENNESY’s son, James HENNESY, married Nancy Caroline WELCH and they had James Leon who, as mentioned, married Lucy MYLES, whose mother was Serena MILLER. Nancy Caroline WELCH’s brother, James Pearson WELCH married Cynthia ALFORD. Cynthia ALFORD was daughter of Warren Jackson ALFORD and Celia Ann LEWIS. Her father’s parents were Edwin ALFORD b. 22 Nov. 1792 NC, and Martha “Patsie” Jane SMITH b. 25 March 1802 SC. She is shown in the 1850 Pike Co MS census on page 21b living next to a 60 year old Thompson MILLER from GA in household 274. I’m wondering if this might be a relation to Rene MILLER. (Rene MILLER is in household 268 on page 21 A.)

Martha Jane SMITH’s parents were Jeremiah SMITH b. 1773 SC and the Joanna DILLON above mentioned, daughter of Richard DILLON and Annys MORRIS. (Walter Edwin Tynes is given as saying Martha Smith’s mother was a “Holly”. The Joanna Dillon information comes from Luke Ward Conerly and E. Russ Williams, Source Records from Pike County, Mississippi, 1798-1910, via Colleen Pasquale.

The 1840 Washington Parish LA census shows a Thomas MILLER.

1840 Washington Parish LA census:

2 free white males 20-30

It would appear as though Maritty has died by now and Thomas remarried to a Nancy. Lisa, age 20 would be the Eliza in the 1850 census.
