Million Miskell ⁴

   Another name for Million was "Milly" Miskell.³

Million married Thomas Lightfoot, son of Daniel Lightfoot and Alitia Algar, on 2 October 1789 in Richmond, Virginia, United States.^{1 2 3} (Thomas Lightfoot was born on 31 March 1755 in North Farnham Parish, Richmond, Virginia, British Colonial America ³, baptized on 31 March 1755 in North Farnham Parish, Richmond, Virginia, British Colonial America and died after May 1792.)

  Noted events in their marriage were:

1. Alt. Marriage, 2 October 1789, Richmond, Henrico, Virginia, United States.

2. 1810 US Census, August 1810, Richmond, Virginia, United States. 1810 US Census
Richmond County, Virginia
1 male under 10
3 females 16-26
1 male over 45
1 female over 45
2 slaves

This suggests he had two more daughters not shown in the parish register. Richmond County Order Book 1814-16, p. 92, under 6 March 1816, shows two suits: Lightfoot vs. Bryant; Slander; Abts. by plts, death. And Same Frances B. vs. same. Sland. Cont. These are indexed as Lightfoot, Lucy M. vs. Bryant, Thomas and as Lightfoot, Francis B., vs. same. From this I take it that Lucy Miskell Lightfoot (born 1790) died early in 1816 and that Frances B. Lightfoot must be another daughter. On the next page, p. 92, 7 March 1816, there is a Lightfoot gdn. & c vs. Smith's admor. Debt cont ., which is indexed Lightfoot, Samule, & c vs. Smith, William, Cs admor. Can this be Samuel who had a guardian in 1816 be the male under 10 in Thomas' household in 1810?

It would appear from the census that Thomas's son, John Newman Brockenbrough Lightfoot (born 1792) was dead by 1810. Thomas had a first marriage not mentioned to _____, since their son Thaddeus Smith Lightfoot was born 19 July 1781.
