    3. Looking for any information on Ludwig Miller who was born in 1720’s and died 1813 in Fayette Co., Pa. He was married to Barbara Grable and per his will had children: Samuel, Nicholas, Catherine, Hannah, Elizabeth, Solomon, David, Mary, Jacob, Abraham and Rebeccah. He lived in Manellen and Luzerne Twps. of Fayette Co. It is reported that he migrated with his cousins, George Craft (born 1727) and Joseph Grable (b.c1725), from Chester Co., Pa. to northern Md (lived on Pa/Md border) in 1750’s then to Fayette Co. about 1771. Have not been able to determine when the cousins came to US and who their parents were (except John Kraft is reported to have been father of George). Indications are that they all came from Nuremberg, Germany. Also, trying to determine what happened to some of Ludwig’s children i.e. David, Mary, Jacob and Rebeccah. Several descendants/researchers have done DNA testing and we would really like to find other Ludwig descendants so we could compare DNA results. Based on his associations, it would appear that Ludwig was of Brethren faith. My personal objective is trying to determine if my David Miller was son of this Ludwig. My David was born early 1750’s, married Deborah Zook (d/o Peter Zook the Brethren preacher), lived in Fayette Co/Washington Co., Pa. in 1780-90’s and migrated to Nelson Co., Ky. in 1795 with his brother-in-law David Zook (he settled in Franklin Co., Ky.). DNA testing shows a familial relationship between my David and Ludwig Miller. Also, proximity and timing work but need more information to nail down the familial relationship. Any insight into Ludwig and his family would be greatly appreciated. Art Miller, Louisville
