Giles was a young boy of thirteen and had left his family in Wales (speculative) and sailed from England some time in the year 1698. March 28, 1699, the Prince George County Court held at Charles Towne, Maryland in the Eleventh year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord William the Third by the Grace of God of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith recorded that Giles Vemill must serve according to law as a servant to James Green. It is assumed this was in payment of his passage from England to the Colonies.

The Vermillions were not native to England, for it was believed three brothers migrated to the British Islands, and most sources indicated they either came to Wales or Scotland. There is no doubt the Vermillions were French Huguenots forced to flee France during the 1500's maybe shortly after the St. Barthelomew's Day Massacre on August 24, 1572. It is said many thousands (10,000 to 20,000) of Huguenots were murdered by Catholic mobs all over France. England being Protestant during those times was an ideal haven. Giles married a Scottish girl named Jane in 1708 and they had at least nine children of record.

Remained on the old homestead in Knox county, Oh, and there raised a large family. B. F. Vian of Monroe Twp, Knox Co, Oh passed away Dec 7th, 1906. He was the father of nine children, five sons and four daughters. Mr. Vian had been in frail health for three years, but was not compelled to give up work, having husked corn the day before his death, feeling as well as usual.

Before retiring on the night of the 6th he knelt beside his bed and communed with God, and after retiring spent the larger part of the time until nine o'clock in prayer. He slept restfully all night and awakened in the morning bright and happy. After chatting with Mrs. Vian, he dropped asleep again to awaken in the world beyond. Mr. Vian leaves a wife, four sons, and two daughters to mourn his loss, not as those which have no hope, for he died in the triumphs of a living faith in Christ, and our loss is his eternal gain. The funeral services were conducted in the Amity Baptist Church, of which he had been a member for more than forty years, Rev. Benjamin Tulloss officiating.
