Milling, James S., fl. 1854-1883.
Hide Profile
James S. Milling was the son of David Milling, a planter near Jackson's Creek in the Fairfield District of South Carolina. Although James attended medical school at the Medical College of South Carolina in Charleston, he seems to have been chiefly preoccupied with farming. After leaving Charleston in 1854, he returned to the Fairfield District and married his cousin Mary of Bairds Hill near Camden in 1857. He spent several years scouting land in the West, assisted by his brothers John and David, who moved to Anderson County, Texas. James Milling finally moved his slaves to Bossier Parish, Louisiana, in 1859, where he spent most of the Civil War. In 1866, James moved his wife and children, who lived at Bairds Hill during the war, to Louisiana. For more detailed biographical information see the following description.
