Mahala Miller

 

"Mahala means "tenderness" in Hebrew, and is a form of Mahalah or Mahlah, found in the Old Testament as one of the five daughters of Zelophehad in the Book of Numbers. It was often used in colonial New England."

'The Daughters of Zelophehad (Hebrew: בְּנוֹת צְלָפְחָד Bənōṯ Ṣəlāfəḥāḏ) were five sisters – Mahlah (מַחְלָה Maḥlā), Noa (נֹעָה Nōʿā), Hoglah (חָגְלָה Ḥoglā), Milcah (מִלְכָּה Mīlkā), and Tirzah (תִרְצָה Ṯīrṣā) – mentioned in the Biblical Book of Numbers. 

 They lived during the Israelites' Exodus from Egypt as they prepared to enter the Promised Land 

 and who raised before the Israelite community 

 the legal case of a woman's right and obligation to inherit property in the absence of a male heir in the family."

By Spring of 1776 he was a Captain of the Riflemen Rangers with 100 men under his command.  

They fought the Cherokee Indians for 3 months and 16 days. 

 In Fall of 1780 Francis and his riflemen marched from Mecklenburg to Rugley's Mill in SC where he, at the request of Colonel William Washington  

made a wooden cannon about the size of a six pounder  

and when drawn up in sight of the fort held by the British, they surrendered without firing a gun.  

This episode is confirmed The Pictorial Field-Book of The Revolution by Benson J. Lossing in 1855.  

The Captain also fought in two other important battles in the Southern Campaign: the Battle of Hanging Rock fought in SC on August 6, 1780 and at the Battle of Guilford Court House in Guilford County, NC on March 15, 1781.
