"The Hixon- Miller Family:
These two pioneers came to the county early in its history. They both hailed from Tennessee. Hixon had six sons besides daughters- all stalwart boys such as it was common to see among the early settlers of the county. On the other hand James Miller had, among other children, six fine daughters. They lived on adjoining farms , in the Dry valley section of the county. In the coarse of time, as the children , one by one, grew to maturity, it came to pass that these fine boys, each courted, wooed ,and wed , one of the girls- save one of the boys, who looked abroad and found a wife of another name, who however, was related to the Miller family. There were, then, five boys, brothers, who married five girls, sisters, and all raised large families of children. ( Note: "Uncle" Billy Hixon, who lives on Lookout mountain is the son of the Miller boy who failed to marry one of the Miller girls, he having married a Nave, who was part Indian and related to John Ross, head chief of the Cherokee.)"
