Emily (Edens) and Elijah McMillion were my Great-Grandparents.
They were married on August 17, 1882.
They had 4 children together -
A. McMillion (male) b. Sept 23, 1883
Zader E. McMillion
James Eldridge McMillion
Anna Tressa McMillion
A. McMillion is the child I just recently found out about. He must of died young, because nobody knew anything of him.
They are buried at Eden's Cemetery at Tupper's Creek.
Emily was married to James Tate (on April 26, 1872) before she married Elijah. James died on March 14, 1882 as reported in his obituary in the State Tribune. She was one of 18 children.
At the Kanawha County Courthouse,
Elijah's death is recorded twice. Once under E. McMillion, where
the info was given by his son James E. McMillion. The other is listed
as Liga McMillan and the info was given by P. A. Simpson. Both report
his cause of death as Paralysis. Though one lists his age as 50 and
the other as 56. His age would of actually been 60 yrs old, since
he was born in 1856.
Emily is listed as Emma McMillian in the death record
and rheumatism is listed as the cause.
