Just thought I would give you all the early information I could locate on these families in the hopes it might help to clear up some things for you. Regarding Armstead MILLER, on the 1810 KY Fed. Census, these MILLERS are located in Lincoln Co., KY , which if I am not mistaken was one of the counties from which Knox Co. was formed in 1799. You might wish to reconfirm that fact. MILLER, Armstead - page 125 MILLER, Alexr. - page 125 MILLER, David - page 127 MILLER, Jacob - page 126 MILLER, John - page 126 MILLER, Mildred - page 128 In Knox Co. in 1810, there were another group of MILLERS. Regarding the surname, OHLER, as of the 1810, there were no OHLERs in Knox Co. In Barren Co., KY, there was a Geo OLLER - page 33 and a John OLLER on page 33. It is possible it is them or they could have come in from some other state. As of the 1820 and 1830 Knox, still no OHLER/OLLER, etc. families in Knox Co., KY. Finally, . . . as of the 1840 Knox Co., Jonathan OHLER appears. OHLER, Jonathan, age 30-40 . Female, 20-30 . .Female, under 5 . .Female, under 5 1850 Knox Co.

Marriage Book A: Oct 4, 1836 OHLER, Jonathan to FREEMAN, Nancy Marriage Bond Thomas FREEMAN, bondsman Aug 10, 1843 OHLER, Jonas to HARRIS, Phebe Robert BARTON, minister Elijah HARRIS, bondsman June 3, 1845 Benjamin OHLER to Susan HERNDON - you have Aug. 2, 1839 OHLER, Evy to JACKSON, Reubin Marriage Bond Benjamin OHLER, bondsman Regarding Susan ADAMS b. 1811 in Knox Co., there are FIVE different ADAMS families present. Of those, it would appear at least four of them could have been her parents. However, as of the 1820 these other ADAMS families have disappeared and/or perhaps been transferred to Harlan Co. rolls as of 1819 formation. In any case, Randolph ADAMS is the most likely parent and he has 2 females under age 10 in his household. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA
