Shellee -- It looks like you already know rather more about her than I do! I can tell you that she married Zadock Noah Miller (my great grandfather's brother) 8 Oct 1884 in Jeffersonville, Wayne, Illinois (Source: Wayne County Press, 9 Oct 1884). Zadock Noah Miller was born 19 Nov 1859 in Middletown, Henry, Indiana; he died 15 Jan 1928 in Lincoln, Logan, Illinois. The Millers were a very large family -- Zadock's parents, George Henry Miller and Mary Jane Tomlinson (my 2nd great grandparents) came to Wayne County from Henry County, Indiana in the fall of 1871. They had nine living children at the time, and two more were born in Wayne County. Zadock and his brother William removed to Logan County late in 1884, almost immediately after Zadock's marriage to Ellen, and the remainder of the Miller clan followed in 1886. Although the family was living in Logan County at the time of Ellen's death, she is buried back down in Wayne County, as is her child. The inscription on their stone in Buckeye Cemetery reads: ELLEN M. MILLER OCT 26 1858 - OCT 22 1888 ERECTED TO HER MEMORY BY HER HUSBAND Z. N. MILLER INFANT CHILD SEPT 1 1885 The child's name does not appear on the monument -- what is your source for the name Barbara? I have always been curious as to why Ellen and her baby are buried in Wayne County rather than in Logan County. Perhaps she went back so as to be near her mother when the baby was born, and when the infant did not survive, they buried the child there in Wayne County? Then when she passed away three years later, Zadock may have wanted to bury her with the baby? I guess we'll never know! As a matter of interest, Zadock married three more times after Ellen's death. His second and third wives also died quite young, and although he had three more children, there were no grandchildren -- he has no living descendants today. Give a holler if you have any more questions. Guy I. Colby IV Irving, TX -------------- Original message from SHELLEEANDERSON@cs.com: -------------- > Guy, > > I have that Ellen M.
