[edit] Records of Windle Miller in Augusta County, VAFrom Chalkley’s Augusta County Records:
[edit] Information on Windle MillerFrom National Register of Historic Places, WV Culture: The Burlington area was part of the original land mass granted by Lord Fairfax. Commonly referred to as the Patterson Creek Manor, this land grant was used by Lord Fairfax as his fish and game preserve. Joe Neville surveyed the nine thousand acre area for Lord Fairfax in 1773. Burlington appears to have been located in lot six. The Burlington area was part of Hampshire County until 1866 when Mineral County, Burlinton's present location, was created from Hampshire County. This must be taken into account as one attempts to research the area's history, as records remain in borh places. Of course, the area has its own George Washington story. He passed through the area with General Braddock as they were marching in the French and Indian War. Tales of some of the early residents in the area, such as about Timothy Corn, the troublemaker/liar of the community, have been passed down. Logically, Indians were also in the area. Numerous points and several skeletons have been unearthed at Fort Hill, a farm situated four miles south of Burlington. There are only two recorded instances of trouble; one is the death of Wendle Miller, the other is the death of Patrick McCarty, who was burned at the steak on Patterson's Creek. A marble slab marks the spot. Source: http://www.wvculture.org/shpo/nr/pdf/mineral/92001660.pdf
