Hello, list members! So many Millers, yet none so far seem to be MY Millers. They were probably Scottish or Scotch-Irish, lived in KY, perhaps in NC and SC, ended up as Missouri pioneers. Samuel Miller, spouse Margaret Sloan and their family came from KY to Cooper County, MO, c 1820, with a party connected to Finis Ewing, early Cumberland Presbyterian minister. They moved soon after to Pettis County MO. In 1836-38 most of the family including at least 5 sons moved to the newly opened territory along the Kansas border that became Andrew County. They lived and farmed around Savannah, MO. William A. Miller, one of Samuel's sons, served on the Missouri Constitutional Convention, was a state legislator and chaplain of the legislature. He was a candidate for Congress at the time of his death, which occurred March 2, 1847. He was my great, great, great grandfather. His wife was Agnes Chelly Mitchell. Her father, Captain Thomas Mitchell, removed to Missouri in 1814 when it was a territory. The family lived for three years in Coles Fort. One of the sons of William and Agnes, Fleming Mitchell Miller, was a Cumberland Presbyterian minister of some note. "Mitch" was my gg grandfather. I know some of the history of this family SINCE Samuel and would be happy to share what I have. But I know little about the family BEFORE Samuel. Samuel's father was William Miller (some think) of Edgefield, SC, moved to NC, and died in KY. William's father may have been Ebenezer Miller of Edgefield, married to Mary Deacon or perhaps Mary Reed/Reid. There the trail ends for me. I'd be happy if someone could confirm or debunk William and Ebenezer. I'd be extremely happy if someone could give me a clue about Ebenezer's father, his father's father, etc., etc. Of course, any more detail about this family in any era greatly appreciated. But I'm currently trying to find "the immigrant." Nice to see this list come alive!! Good work, Charles. It's cold here too, but I warmed up by running the snowblower most of the afternoon.
