At the time of the Civil War this family lived near the site of the Battle of Iuka. Some of the children, even as young as 5 years old, had to help buy the dead from this battle. They were never able to forget the experience.

THOMAS B. MILES. Pattison Miles, the father of Thomas B., was a son of Thomas and Nancy (Pattison) Miles, natives of Virginia and North Carolina. Thomas Miles served seven years in the Revolutionary war in the capacity of lieutenant. He came to Tennessee with his family and negroes in 1792, settling in Williamson County. He died in 1837, and his wife in 1846. Pattison Miles died in 1873; he was an old time Whig, a member of the Methodist Church and a farmer by occupation. His wife, formerly Dicey Moore of Kentucky, died in 1882. Thomas B. Miles, the subject of our sketch, was born near Triune, Williamson Co. Tenn., February 14, 1814. and remained on the farm until seventeen years of age. He received a limited early education, but at the age of eighteen, engaged in the mercantile business in Jefferson, Tenn., remaining until 1840, and for the next five years resided on a farm which he had purchased near Murfreesboro. From that date until 1850, he managed a cotton plantation in Mississippi, meeting with good success. At the latter date he returned to Tennessee, farmed near Overalls Creek for about eight years, and then resided on another farm near Murfreesboro. In 1866 he moved to the town where he was engaged in mercantile pursuits until 1874, and then clerked for different firms until 1882, when he engaged in his present business of keeping the hotel known as the Commercial Men's Home at Murfreesboro. He keeps a first-class house in every respect, and is known to be strictly exact in all his dealings. June 9, 1841, he wedded Miss Catherine E. Johns, born in Tennessee, in 1822.
