Hello I am looking for a descendant line, that somebody might share, of the Illinois Wrights, Millers and Lightfoot connections. There are many marriages between these three lines and I am interested in those lines that have descendants in Knox, Fulton and Woodford Illinois areas. Especially any Lightfoots that may have resided in Yates City, Farmington, Eureka Illinois area's that married into the Wright's and Miller lines. It has been said that a Lightfoot ran a barber shop in Yates City, that could have been related. What I am looking for is a very difficult connection. My grandmother Clara Belle Murphy, born August 13, 1896, daughter of James Murphy and Mary Virginia Wright born 1863 in Elba Twp, Knox County, Illinois, said she was related to the Lightfoots of Eureka Illinois. Now, Mary Virginia Wright, born 1863 above, is daughter of Joseph Wright and Lavina Miller, possibly of Fulton County, Illinois. I can see several simular name lines in these lines, of Wright, Miller and Lightfoot, including Lavina, but have yet to find the one I am seeking. So if anyone has any descendant lines that even remotely may connect, I would enjoy viewing it. Thomas W. Rogers 924 E. Jackson Street Morton, Illinois 61550

Dear Fellow Miller researchers: I am still stuck at my brick wall. In the hopes that some one may have found something that connects with my family tree, here it is again.

Hi Lister's, Just thought I'd post my interest for those of you who are new or who will be on the list for the weekend. I have a great,great great grandmother named Sarah Miller. She married a Jacob Markwood. They had a daughter named Ida R. Markwood, who was born in 1864. I was told they were from the Marple Newtown area of Delaware County Pennsylvania. If anyone out there could shed some light on this couple I would be very appreciative as I found a few Miller families in the 1860's census records at the FHC, but no Sarah Miller married to a Jacob Markwood or a unmarried Sarah Miller at the right age? Thanks in advance Esther Fetsko -- SARAH MILLER,b.?d.? m.Jacob Markwood,b.?d.?

I think that the Know Nothings were some type of political party. They were popular in 1853 to 1856. They wanted to keep all political offices out of the hands of foreign born populace. They called them Know Nothings because they always denied knowing about all the illegal activities they were accused of, Hmm sounds like the present day KKK, or something. This must have been very regional, because some of my German ancestors lived in towns in Texas where German was the official language until pretty recent times. Karen Moore Kerr

Has anyone ever heard of the Know Nothings? Aparently, my John MILLER/MUELLER lived in Miller "Hollar" in Louisville, KY to Elizabeth, IN. It is thought the reason he left KY was because of a gang called the "Know Nothings" who were killing Germans-and claiming they knew nothing about it. He supposedly ran for his life. Does anyone else have any information on this? What I have on my line is undocumented and I have not spent any time on it other than gathering info. from relatives. Here's what I have: John MUELLER note on John: Butcher by trade m.Catherine note on Catherine: When she died, she was buried in an old cemetary and was later moved. They noticed her casket was extra heavy and decided to open it. They found her body had been petrified and her son, George, was to have said her body was just as it was when she was buried except the glass top of the casket was broken and had mashed her nose. John and Catherine's children: Clara MILLER/MUELLER b.1854 d.1933 m.WESTBECKER George MILLER/MUELLER b.Nov. 11, 1855 d.Aug. 21, 1944 note on George: George did not know the date of his birth and later years took Armistice Day as his birth date. Could not read or write. m.Lina WILSON b. May 21, 1859 d. May 29, 1898 George and Lina's children: Corty(Tom) b. 1884 d. 1969 Ollie Josie Katie b. Aug. 12, 1887 d. May 29, 1888 Fred b. April 22, 1892 d. 1935 Anna Leora(Linnie) b. June 30, 1896 d. April 1, 1972 Infant Daughter b. May 29, 1898 d. May 29, 1898 m. Matihilda b. June 12, 1867 d. June 7, 1944 George and Matihilda's children: Louis George Paul Mary Frank I do not know when the MUELLER became MILLER. I believe it was with George or his kids. I would greatly appreciate any help with any of this! Thanks so much and happy hunting!!-Adrienne Menteer Latshaw Researching: MENTEER, MILLER/MUELLER, BELCHER, SANDERS, BROWN

My George Miller was born in Pennsylvania about 1790. He married Maria Catherine Humbarger/Humberger about 1812 probably in Pennsylvania. He died May 1822 in Perry County, Ohio. I descend from his son Solomon Miller who was born 22 July 1822, after his father died. Solomon and his wife Malinda Anspach moved to Whitley County, Indiana after their marriage in Perry County on 9 June 1841. George and Catherine had nine other children. I have found two children that I think belong to them: Barbara who married Adam Fisher Elizabeth born June 1820. Is there anyone on this list who descends from these two people?? Thanks. Patricia

Thought someone might find this interesting. When I was little, my father used to laugh about working for MULLERS` milk. Now I wonder if this was the joke. Most probably it was Muller. Miller is the Americanized version. >> This list went through the MILLER / MUELLER story some months ago. MILLER is and was a Bavarian surname. And so is MUELLER. Have a look into the German phone books and you will be surprised of the number of poeple living there bearing the "Americanized" name MILLER. Anyhow, spelling was not an issue our ancestors were worrying too much about. Note that MILLER and MUELLER are pronounced the same in Bavarian.
