Hello again Elizabeth, I'm posting this to the list as the content might be of use to a past/present/future subscriber. In my reply to your query re MILLERs from Duns, I transcribed some parish register entries that referenced the parish of Abbey St Bathans. If you recall, these were for MILLERs other than the family of John - whom you were seeking. If, by chance, these other MILLERs connect with your family you might want to keep the following information at hand. In looking through the book entitled: 'The Churches and Churchyards of Berwickshire' by James Robson (published by J. and J.H. Rutherford, Kelso, in 1896) I found the following monumental inscription for a headstone in the burying ground surrounding the church at Abbey St Bathans. I quote from Robson: 'A medium-sized stone, though comparatively modern, is curiously inscribed in very rude lettering thus- "Here lyes Thomas Miller who died in Desmbr 6th 1778 aged 77 years as also hise spoues Isbel Trotter who died in dsmbr 24th 1763 aged 85 years as also there sone who died jenry 24 1762 aged 19 years." ' I have triple checked my typing above, and it appears I have written exactly as printed in the book (spelling and all). Personally, I find this entry intriguing as the ages and death dates don't seem to gel very well (especially the description of 'there sone'). I hope this might be useful for you. Best regards, Steve Karner (sugarglider@cox-internet.com in Texas, USA) In BEW I like BLACKADDER, CAMPBELL, COSSAR (& a few more) - it's in the blood!
