Erin, I am not a MILLER descendant but my g-grandmother, Lavina BEDWELL, married Alexander MILLER, s/o Henry and Lydia MILLER, on November 11, 1855 in Louisa Co. They had one daughter, Nancy, b. 1861 who married (I think) Benton Wykert. Alexander Miller died on February 17, 1863 from injuries sustained in the Civil War, and Lavina married George W. HONTS in 1865. Alexander Miller is buried in Long Creek Cemetery in the MILLER family plot. George and Lavina Honts moved to Polk Co., NE by the 1880 census. Living next door to them are Benton and Nancy Wykert. The age is right (age 19) for Nancy Wykert to be the daughter of Lavina and Alexander, and the fact that she's living next door makes me suspect this is Nancy Miller. Unfortunately I don't have any Miller info other than that.
