His wife was Mary JORDAN of Bath County. Some evidence that he rebuilt Jackson's Mills after it burned in 1831, then built Statt's Mill, among others .... Of his children, Robert HOPKINS and Martha Ann STALNAKER (dau of John and Susannah CHENOWETH STALNAKER) raised a large family .... Most of HOPKINS name have now moved to other locations but their roots run deep in Roane County history .... I have some information but few resources, and willing to share

MILLER posted by Denver Miller on Saturday, September 11, 1999

My name is Denver Miller and I live in Pasadena, CA. My father's family came from Roane County and I have been tracing them through census records and the wonderful assistance of Elsie Cook [Look-up Volunteer] .... I am trying to find the death dates for my great-great grandparents, John and Mary A MILLER, both born in 1829 in Germany .... They came to Roane in the 1870's, and were on the 1880 census. In the 1900 census they were 71 years old and lived with son Charles .... In 1910 Mary is a widow and still with son Charles .... They lived on Island Run Road - does this road still exist? Mary's other son's, Joseph and John C (my great grandfather) lived close by .... Elsie Cook explained that she doesn't have complete county death records so I am asking if someone else may know when John and Mary A MILLER died? Thanks for any help that you can provide me.
