Birthdate information came from a bible owned by Robert Miles which belonged to Francis Marion Miles. An interesting note found in the same bible by Winston Tharp about Cardwell the brother to FM MILES says, "He was killed at West Port, KS in August 1864 while serving in the southern Army under General Price". West Port, MO is a historic community now included in Kansas City.
In early 1800's settlers headed west to seek their fortune via the Santa Fe, California and Oregon trails stopped in Westport to outfit their wagons before continuing the long journey to the western territories.
The town also played a role in the Civil War. In October of 1864, Union Commanders laid plans for the Battle of Westport, which came to be known as the Gettysburg of the West. Confederate Cannon fire claimed many of Westport's buildings, but the Union troops emerged victorious.

Obituary Of Madison Logan Miles from La Plata Republican 2/13/1930
Madison Logan Miles, son of William W. and Nancy Daugherty Miles, was born on a farm east of Atlanta, Macon County, Missouri, August 21, 1858; departed this life, at the home of John W. Miles, Feb. 8, 1920, age 61 years, 5 months and 17 days.
In early manhood he made a profession of faith and united with the Mt. Tabor Baptist church.
Mat, as he was familiarly called, was the fifth son born to the above parents. The Miles and Daugherty families were among the early pioneers in this part of Missouri. They all came from Kentucky in 1838, and settled on the farms northeast of Atlanta.
Funeral services were conducted from the Baptist church, Wednesday morning, Feb. 11, by Rev. F.L. Hudson, after which the body was laid to rest in the La Plata cemetery. The Odd Fellows lodge, of which deceased was member, held services at the grave.
Four children were lost in infancy and early childhood. January 15, 1874, he married Mary N. Bunch, of Macon County, a daughter of John Bunch. Mrs. Miles spent her life previous to her marriage in Macon County, and both she and her husband are members of the Old School Baptist Church. Mr Miles was one of the world-renowned "forty-niners," making an overland trip to California in company with Stephen Wilson and many others. He went to that state with an ox team, and while there, engaged in mining and teaming, and was very successful. At the end of eleven months he left the land of gold and returned home by way of Old Mexico, across the gulf to New Orleans, thence to St. Louis and home.
**************************************************************
James C. Miles was born in Bedford County, Old Virginia, July 1, 1827. His parents, shortly afterwards, moving to Pulaski County, Kentucky, and later on, when he was fourteen, to Lyda Township, Macon County.
The "gold fever" of '49 caught him in its grip and in that year he crossed the plains to the blue Sacrament Valley, driving an ox wagon, which as he used to say, he did not ride in it for more than a quarter mile during the whole tedious Journey. The prospects there were not sufficiently attractive for him to remain, however, and he returned home in the fall of 1850, bringing with him something to show for his pains.
September 2, 1852 he was married to Miss Ruth E. Shelton of Knox County and to this union ten children were born, five of whom still live.
He united with the Primitive Baptist Church about 1872 and on June 13 of that same year his wife died. On January 16, 1874 he was married to Miss M.N. Bunch of La Plata who survives him. The children left to mourn his loss are : Mrs. Mary Lee, Atlanta, Mrs. Maxey Begole, Gibbs, Medley S. Miles Hurdland, Francis M. Miles, Pueblo, Colorado and Mrs. Jennie Barr, South Dakota.
Mr. Miles was one of twelve children, four brothers still living; S.A. Miles, Portland, Oregon, John S. Miles, Kirksville, Missouri and F.M. and Albern Miles of La Plata.
Funeral services were held March 1, Moore's Chapel, conducted by Elder George Edwards and internment made in the Steele Cemetery.
