Every couple of years I ask if any contemporary historian has found a  
complete copy of the Miley Notes, compiled by Martin Miley.

Miley, born in 1816, lived four miles west of Woodstock . He  
collected about 100 pages of notes from old settlers in the  
Shenandoah Valley and these later were copied into notebooks by his  
daughter, a Mrs. Boyer. His granddaughter Emile Regina Boyer of  
Stephens City had the notes when John W. Wayland was writing in the  
1920s. I believe Strickler and Kercheval also quoted from them in  
their works.

Does anyone know if a complete copy still exists somewhere?
