Posted on: Adams County, In Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/In/Adams?read=553 Surname: Miller, Burrell ------------------------- These Millers would appear to be those from Root Twp with the bio on p. 583 of the 1979 History of Adams Co, IN. Are any descendents still there today? The Burrell family is no doubt the early Burrell's who settled first in Mass > MD about 1627 from England. They migrated into Pa and Oh. John Lenhart 1797-1877 married Rebecca Burrell and they settled in Root Twp, Adams CO 1839. One of John and Rebecca's son, Joseph Lenhart went to Montgomery Co, KS, (just east of where this Bible was purchased). I would guess this Elmer Miller, m. Burrell, went to KS with Joseph Lenhart & others. >From the 1979 Adams Co., IN History Book: ADAMS CO HISTORY BOOK - p. 583, Root Twp "Alva Miller & wife, Margaret May Miller came to Union Twp., Adams Co from Pa in the early eighteen hundreds.

Ora Hinton - dau Maxint Hartman and son, Keith The Millers were active in Pleasant Grove United Brethren Church and union Chapel United Methodist Church. Ammi drove the Root Twp school bus for 32 years along wi farming. True L. Miller is listed as veteran of WWI. He purchased a lot in Decatur (p. 66) of the old "Riley" school. " If anyone knows of any present descendents of these families, perhaps they could be notified so they could have this old Bible. Or would the Historical Society be interested?
