Looking for anyone also researching the branches and origins of Matthew Morgan MILTON and
Sarah Rebecca NICHOLAS. Most of my info comes from a typed manuscript done by my great
grandfather (their great grandson) Arthur Milton POPE (1882-1970) who knew many of the
family stories--having gotten them live in person, and wrote them down!!
However, I have been able to verify little of this info in records.
Matthew and Sarah Rebecca supposedly married in summer 1827 in NC and moved to Brown Co,
IN, in 1837.
The first record of them in the census I can locate is 1860, in Jackson Twp, Brown Co.
They had 12 known (per grandpa Pope) children: Amy Amelia m. Vardiman Hardin, Henry Miles
(my line) m. Nancy Wilson Hendrickson (daug of Joshua Hendrickson and Sally Helton of
Monroe Co), Eliza Jane m Willis Hubbard, Frances m Wilburn Hubbard, Elydia d@6months,
Nancy Ann m John Patterson, Elizabeth m George Daggy, John WIlliam m Elizabeth Nicholas,
James Madison m Mary Guess, George Washington m Mary Cummings, Sarah Maria m Vardiman
Hardin, Martha Ellen m. Moses Privot.
Henry Miles fought in the Civil War and died 1870 Brown Co. His widow filed, but info
seems incomplete.
