Hi Bonnie, I have the following on Randall Miner: Randall Miner, son of Christopher & Mary (Randall) Miner, was born in Stonington, New London, Connecticut 2 Mar 1786, and died in Leyden, Franklin, Massachusetts about 1861. He married about 1820 Hannah Baker, daughter of Benjamin & Hannah (Tucker) Baker, born Leyden, 10 Feb 1793, died Leyden, 25 Nov 1857. Randall is not seen in the 1820 census but was probably well on his way to Leyden, where in 1830 he appears to have had 2 young sons and 3 younger daughters. He was a farmer there. Hannah's parents were originally from South Kingston, Washington, Rhode Island and had participated in the out-migration from Rhode Island by 1790 when they are seen in Leyden. Baker descendents are in Leyden to this day. To date I have followed descent through their son Jerrah C, born abt 1834. Let me know if you are interested in any of that.
