Yes. According to writer-historian Wyndham Robertson, the Milams are blood descendants of the original Powhatan Nation (published Virginia- 1887). The family has produced 2 principal chiefs in 2 different tribes: J.B. Milam of the Cherokee Nation (served 1938-1949), and James Milam of the Seminole Nation (1979-1985).
Milams are listed on the Dawes Rolls and the Gion-Miller Rolls. They are considered one of the first families of the Cherokee Nation and some Milams are members of the Creek Nation.
