Hi all, Have been working backwards in the Miller line and have the following starting with my grandmother - Mrytle May Miller (1879 - 1975) (married Albert Snow) her father Oliver Miller (1854 - 1912) (married Nora Elliot) his father David Miller (1828 - ?) (married Mary E Thompson) his father Abraham Miller (approx 1803 or 02 - ?) (married Mary Walters) I have loads of brothers, sisters, etc within that line. This was a family that likes to breed children. I lose the line at Abraham. I know that a portion of the family APPEARS to have come from around either London, Ontario in the 1830s or variously from the Niagara area. I have marriages within the family in London and in Niagara. They moved and settled in Ingham County, Mason (and/or Merrill) Michigan in the 1840-50s and the rest of the history from there to present all takes place in Ingham. Abraham and Mary's children were mostly born in London, Ontario. Those children are Ezra W, David, Abram, William F There is SOME question that Abraham's father might be Andrew Mueller (1st generation German immigrant) but that appears to be a guess without verification. So, any MI Millers out there with more history? Linda K ([email protected])

Hello fellow researchers, It has been several months since I last offered to share some of the more important research items discovered during my study of the Scotch-Irish.  Because of the amount of time required to copy and mail these items I will only be able to do this once a year. ( I make my living selling real estate)  You will find three new items listed below as well as the original items listed in my January post. Rockbridge County, Virginia Notebook, Compiled from Articles by Dr. George W. Diehl as published in the News-Gazette, Lexington, Virginia.  Additional charts and notes have been added as well as a surname index.  Compiled by A. Maxim Coppage III, 242 pages. For a number of years, the late Dr. George W. Diehl contributed historical and genealogical articles to the News-Gazette, Lexington, Virginia, published by M.W. Paxton, Jr.  The clippings from the paper were sent to Mr. Coppage for the "Virginia Collection"  In many instances information may be found showing where families originated in Scotland or Ireland, the places lived before settling in the Rockbridge County, Virginia area and the relationships between various clans or as Dr. Diehl so aptly named this phase of pioneering, "A Rockbridge Seed-box." "A Tribute to the Principles, Virtues, Habits and Public Usefulness of the Irish and Scotch Early Settlers of Pennsylvania," Chambersburg, Pa. Printed by M. Kiefer & Co. 1856, 171 pages. >From the prefece the following:  "The writer of the Tribute contained in this work, had long desired to see from the Historical publications in Pennsylvania, a vindication of the character and principles of the Irish and Scotch early settlers of this great State and their descendants against reproach, as well as aspersion, cast upon them in some modern publications having pretensions to Historical accuracy"....Lots of detail on the early members of the church as well as problems with the Indians and the struggle over land rights during the westward expansion. The Scotch-Irish In The Colonies: 1750-1790 A Thesis Presented for the Degree of Master of Arts by Kathryn R. Aikin, A.B., The Ohio State University, 1933 Contents include Introduction, Early Settlements, Daily Life on the Frontier, Educational and Religious Activities, Military Pursuits, and Political Participation and Conclusion.  Also a GREAT Bibliography, the most important part of any thesis. Listed below are the other books and manuscripts previously offered to the various surname lists that are predominately Scotch-Irish: The Laggan and its Presbyterianism and In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery, 1905,1908, by the Rev. Alexander Lecky, B.A., member of the Royal Sociey of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, 54 Kings St.  211 pages    On our recent trip to Donegal we met J.B. Shannon, age 90, who assisted in the 1975 reprinting of this book.  He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and he says they are still the BEST source for Ulster Presbyterian research.  From Lecky I quote, "The lists of names of former generations of Lagganeers, and their places of abode, that are given in the Appendixes, and which NEVER before appeared in print, whilst they may of necessity prove dull reading to those who have no acquaintance with the locality, will not, I hope, be altogether uninteresting to those who bear the same name, or live in the same places..." Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, being a Chronicle of Events in Ireland during the Revolutionary period 1688-1691, by William Young, Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, 350 pages.    One of the most difficult sources to locate, in fact almost impossible.  Months worth of reading and packed with great genealogy.  Contains the following biographical sketches:    1.  The leaders of the County Associations who, with their levies, took part in the preliminary operations and contributed much of the man power for the Defence. 2.  The Apprentice Boys and those responsible for shutting the gates on the 8th Dec. 1688. 3.  The actual Defenders during the 105 day siege (over 1200 genealogical sketches) 4.  Those engaged in the relief of the city A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defense of Enniskillen in 1688 and 1689, with Historical Poetry and Biographical notes, by the Rev. John Graham, M.A. Rector of Magilligan in the Diocese of Derry.  Includes the Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim and the siege and Capitulation of Limmerick by Lord McCaulay, Toronto, 1869    The historical poems are family genealogies about those who were at Derry and where they came from.  Along with "Fighters of Derry" these two sources contain more actual genealogical information than any others I have seen. Three Hundred Years in Innishowen, Being More Particularly an Account of the Family of Young of Culdaff with Short Accounts of Many Other Families Connected with Them, by Amy Young, 1929, The Linenhall Press, Belfast, 311 pages.    Some of the names included are Young, Hart, Harvey, Cary, Vaughan, McLaughlin, Skipton, Richardson, Knox, Ussher, Smith, Nesbitt, Chichester, Ball, Lawrence, Crofton, Boyd, Stuart and many others. The Laggan and its People, by S.M. Campbell, privately printed. A look at the history of the Laggan (Presbyterian Derry/Donegal) through the eyes of a local historian. Draws on local lore, Abercorn papers, records from PRONI. The Tinkling Spring: Headwater of Freedom, A Study of the Church and Her People, 1732-1952, by Howard McKnight Wilson, 1954, Fisherville, Virginia 542 pages    The best source of information on the Scotch-Irish of Augusta/Rockbridge Counties in Virginia.  Includes the Baptismal Records of the Rev. Craig.  In-depth study of the early families of the Shenandoah Valley. Castle's Woods: Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799, a thesis presented to the Faculty of the Department of History, East Tennessee State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of master of Arts, by James W. Hagy, 1966, 150 pages.    The most popular of the documents offered, this covers the families who settled in Russell county, Virginia when it was considered the frontier.  If your ancestors came through southwestern Virginia, this document is the history of your family.  Contains information on specific families as well as the farmers, speculators, artisans, and preachers who resided there.  Lots on the Indian battles that were a daily feature of life on the frontier.  Names like Russell, Walker, Porter, Cowan, Houston, Boone, Montgomery, Fraley, Thompson, Anderson, Kilgore, and 50 or so other "Scotch-Irish" families make this an invaluable resource for your family history. The Reverend Samuel Houston, V.D.M., by George West Diehl, 1970, McClure Publishing Co. 125 pages History of the early Virginia Presbyterians through the life of the Rev. Samuel Houston, kin to Sam Houston of Texas fame. The Stirling Merchant Gild and Life of John Cowane, founder of Cowane's Hospital in Stirling, by David B. Morris, Town Clerk, Stirling, Jamieson & Munro, LTD. 1919, 367pages. This is really two books in one.   The first part deals with the Gild. Laws, history, struggle with Unfreemen and with the Crafts, Administration, Merchandising, Conditions of entry, etc. and the second part which is about the life of John Cowane, Dean of the Gild and his contributions to it. Well there you have it.  The best documents I have found.  If you are interested in obtaining any of the above items (I would like to make copies for free but I can't) contact me at [email protected] for  details. Regards, Robert Cowan 525 Harrogate Rd. Matthews, North Carolina 28105

Hello List. I have just signed on to this list in hopes that perhaps someone may be able to help me locate a missing Great Uncle that is believed to have gone to the USA. I found a death in the social security for a William MILLER born January 13 1882. He died in Florida in 1966 in New Port Richey zip code 33552 ( changed in 1980 to 34652 ) His social security number was issued in New York. William MILLER was born in Bethnal Green London January 13 1882 to parents William MILLER, occupation scale maker and Eliza ( formerly Jenkins). If this may look familiar then I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you Roger Heeley Terrace B.C. Canada

Bklyn Standard Union - April 24, 1931 - NEWS "GRAY LADIES" OF RED CROSS ON DUTY AT NAVAL HOSPITAL Volunteer Service Work Extended by Boro Chapter Completing a training course of two and one half months at Brooklyn Naval Hospital, thirty "Gray Ladies," volunteer Red Cross hospital workers, have received their assignment to regular duties from Miss Mabel DURIVAGE, field director at the hospital following the receipt of certificates at the graduation exercises yesterday. Mrs. Whitney MERRILL, director of volunteer service for the Brooklyn Chapter, presided at the exercises and presented Captain P.S. ROSSITER, commanding officer at he hospital, and Miss Mabel BOARDMAN, chairman of the volunteer service of the national organization. Pins and certificates were presented by Mrs. William DENNY SARGENT, secretary of the Brooklyn Chapter. PRACTICAL TESTIMONY According to Miss BOARDMAN, the Gray Ladies are an outgrowth of the war, which found the Red Cross with many volunteers, but few who were equipped with actual hospital experience. Following the war the volunteer service decided that it would be desirable to develop a group of women with practical training in hospitals for war service and for disaster relief. At the present time, Miss BOARDMAN said, the Red Cross is extending the Gray Ladies service to civil hospitals in addition to the service hospitals, in order to increase the number of volunteers with training. SPECIAL AWARDS An honorary certificate was presented Mrs. H.C. RIGGSA in recognition of service at the Naval Hospital since 1919, and Millard MORGAN received a volunteer service pin in recognition of his work as a full time volunteer giving four days a week in taking care of the banking for the patients at the hospital. Receiving the Gray Ladies certificates were: Mrs. Alfred T. BENNETT Miss Constance BOODY Mrs. R.G. BOOKE Mrs. T.J. BREITWEISER Mrs. J. Halstead BROWN Mrs. J.
