Shirley - You are correct. I have seen the name spelled: Mylam, Mylum, Milam, Milum, Millam, Millim, Mileham and Milom. In one record alone, the Court Clerk spelled it three ways: Milam, Millam and Mileham. Barbara Vines Little has published the extant Tithable Records of Orange County which are incomplete. But I did find some of Mylam's neighbors on a couple lists: John Kelly (Killy), Finley McColester (McCallister, McCanister), Richard Mauldin and Maj. Philip Rootes. Just wondering if I can make anything of the absence of his name.
