He landed in Charleston, South Carolina where he remained for a short while and then moved to Columbia wher he was a prosperous merchant. Other members of his family had settled in Fairfield County at an earlier period. He purchased one thousand acres in Fairfield and later came here and settled permanently... In 1850 Captain David Milling married Mrs. Sarah Yongue Milling who had several children by her first marriage. She was the widow of another David Milling, a kinsman of Captain David. She and Captain Milling had two daughters and three sons. The house was built about the time that they were married... During the War Between the States the Milling plantation was in the path of Sherman. When the invaders arrived the meat supply in the smoke-houses was so great that it could not all be carried off so the surplus was burned. The soldiers heard stories of the handsome silver that had been in the house before their unwelcome arrival. When it could not be found they questioned the old Captain who refused to reveal the hiding place. After threatening to burn the house they took him to the big barn where preparations for his hanging were begun. His daughter, Margaret, then a young lady, learned of her father's sad plight and hastened to the barn to tell the men to release him and showed them where the treasure was buried... |
