Hello, I would really like to exchange information with the Miley family in SC. We are descended from Robert Miley, William Goodman Miley, Daniel Robert Miley etc..
Would like to find out who has Robert Miley’s Bible…or photocopied pages, who now owns the Miley property….anything would be great! We have a Miley Reunion coming up in Nov. and I’m trying to gather as much information as possible. Thank you in advance!
