Carol, I haven't researched Ephraim. I only know that he was a resident of Orange Co., Indiana in the 1830's. My connection to the Millers is a follows: My ancestor Preston married a Matilda Neidiffer the daughter of John Neidiffer and Christine Miller. Christine Miller, I believe, was the sister of Isaac Miller and the daughter of Jacob Miller. I may have those two reversed. I believe that this Jacob Miller was in Augusta County, Va. earlier. He may have spent some time in either Tn. or Ky. before coming to Indiana. Sam [email protected] wrote: > ATTN: Sam > > I'd be interested to hear about this Ephraim you cam across.
