<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lawtoad, post: 1302675, member: 31685&quot;]Bruce,&nbsp; Found a reference that may be helpful.&nbsp; It is believe it or not off of a discussion of a Civil War discussion regarding African Americans who were in the Confederate Army.&nbsp; Levi Miller, body servant to JJ McBride in the 5th Texas. He drew a&nbsp; Confederate pension from Va for the last 20+ years of his life. Apparently Levi Miller (who was a Slave) was a blacksmith and served as a farrier for a cavalry unit.&nbsp; Possible that this is the same Levi Miller and he went and set up shop after the war?&nbsp; I have found a couple of other references for Levi Miller that echo the above facts, whether or not this is the Levi Miller you are looking for is another story. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=211553" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=211553" rel="nofollow">http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=211553</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Gene[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
