Hi Dee; I believe mine were also German?Swiss. My John was one of about three or four John's in that area and time. He has been rather elusive in trying to pin him down as far as his ancestry. He was born ca. 1764, and was married to an Indian woman (some say Cherokee) his first five or six children were very Native American looking. He married Margaret Garrett b, 1767 in 1799 she is the daughter of Silas Garrett & Ann Nancy Young both of Laurens. John and Margaret had two sons together my Charles and Washington Miller. I have had tentative parents for John Miller and they may be John Miller SR. died 2-21-1814 and Sarah Anderson. Possible parents of John Sr. may be Hanse Miller and wife Susanna Zinn ?. Father of Sarah Anderson may be James Anderson d. 5-6-1783. Anything back past John JR. has not been proven. You would think there would be more SC & NC researchers as there were a lot of Miller's in that area. some moved on into TN.

I am looking for Elizabeth Miller b.Nov 12, 1824 in SC and died August 23, 1906. She married Thomas C. Graham and they are both buried in Fairview Cemetery in Itawamba County, MS. They were the parents of 15 children.

As has been said many times there are countless Elizabeth's ( Miller) I have looked thru my many notes and I don't have an Elizabeth that fits the birth time frame of 1824. but that doesn't mean much. So many females were never named in the records. I'll keep a watch and if I run across her I'll let you know. My Millers also went on into Mississippi in the 1840's and 50's. Margrett
