        Volume 21, No. 8
        28 February 1879
        "Milltown
        Esq. Paul Chiles, who made his home a year or two ago with his daughter, Mrs. Moore, near Brick Church, died the 3d of this month at the home of another daughter, Mrs. Caruthers, of Obion county. Deceased would have been 92 years old had he lived till 3d day of June. He removed from East Tennessee to Bradshaw, Giles county, about 60 years ago. Lived with his wife (who died several years before him) about 60 years. He was a faithful member of the Baptist Church, an industrious, economical and successful farmer, a good upright citizen and neighbor. He gave to the Methodists the lot upon which Mt. Pleasant church stands. We learn from one of his grandsons that Mr. C. leaves about 300 descendants. The writer has had many interesting stories of early times in Tennessee from him. M"

        Son of Rowland Horsley Chiles and Nancy Sandlin Chiles, Paul married Lucinda Kersey on his 18th birthday 03 June 1805. They lived in Anderson County in 1811 where Paul served as an Ensign with the 13th Regiment, Anderson County, Tennessee Militia. He also served in the War of 1812 as a 2nd Lieutenant with Captain C. Conway's Company, 1st Battalion East Tennessee Mounted Gunmen, commanded by his brother Major John Chiles, enlisting in Knoxville on 20 September 1814 & discharged on 01 May 1815.

        By 1818, Paul and Lucinda are living in Giles County, Tennessee on Bradshaw Creek near the Mt. Pleasant meeting house with six of their nine children. After Lucinda's death in 1866 Paul lived in Obion County with family & is believed to be buried in the Campground Cemetery near Troy.
