James Calvin (Calvin) Giles was the second husband of my third great grandmother Dica Ann (Dicy) Smith. I am descended from Dicy and her first husband Jacob England. Another way to provide some context is that the children Reba and Annie were first cousins (albeit, "half first cousins") of my great grandfather John W. Williamson. Nancy May (Nannie) Giles was the daughter of James Calvin (Calvin) Giles and Dica Ann (Dicy) Smith. Nancy May (Nannie) Giles was also the wife of Isaac L. Miller. They were married in 1903 in Spring City, Rhea County, Tennessee. So the children likely were all born in Rhea County. Isaac L. Miller died 13 Dec 1913 in Spring City, Rhea County, Tennessee. |

Safrona C. (Froney) Cross was an heir of my fourth great grandfather William Cross the Revolutionary War drummer boy. The exact relationship is not clear. Froney was an heir of Mary (Polly) Cross, and Mary (Polly) Cross was a legatee of the real estate of William Cross after William died. The most likely scenario seems to be that Froney was the daughter of Mary, that Mary was the daughter-in-law of William, and that Mary was widowed at the time of William's death. But a number of other scenarios are quite possible with the evidence that is now available. Froney was from Anderson County, Tennessee. She and her husband William Scarbrough were married in Roane County in 1877 and were enumerated in the 1880 census in Roane County. They moved to Rhea County sometime between the 1880 census and the 1900 census. William Scarbrough was the son of Allen Albert Scarbrough and Mary Ervin. It is believed that Allen Albert Scarbrough was not of the Bucks County, Pennsylvania line of Scarbroughs. |
