Betty, I was working on my "Jacob MILLER of Woodstock, the Immigrant" file this evening and while I was entering a source for his daughter, Mary MILLER that verifies that she was the wife of Palser/Balthaser HOOVER, I found a note to myself that Betty believes that John YEAGER of Piney Woods could be her husband. I don't know how long my note has been "hanging out" in the file; but thought I would ask if you do believe that, if ever you believed, that John YEAGER of Piney Woods was her husband and if so then she was married more than once. I would like to delete the note if you "for sure" do NOT think that John YEAGER of Piney Woods was ever married to Mary MILLER, the daughter of Jacob Miller. Thanks, Chocy

Chocy, I think that there are many of us who descend from this man through his various children. Even though Jacob Miller is not really Germanna ......please keep this discussion on this list because it is of interest. I think that we are in agreement that there was at least one or two and perhaps three (if Mary was wife of John Yeager of Piney Woods) intermarriages between these two families. I have not seen Jacob's will for myself, but I have been told that his will mentions The following was from Craig Kilby July 2002 to Germanna He makes in CAPS and BLUE but my data base erased the blue when I saved it. on 06/28/02 8:35 PM, [email protected] at [email protected] wrote: > Frederick Co.
