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?
