My Henry Miller from Somerset Co., PA may have originated in York Co. or Franklin Co. He was born in 1850-1860 in E. Pa. but married Rachel Flory about 1781 in Franklin Co. Their first child was born 1782 in or near Washington Twp., Franklin Co. and the next two 1784 and 1788 in Shrewsbury Twp., York Co.. Since the counties were being reorganized during this period I'm not positive which counties may have been in place for these townships. Would you know? Second, do any of your Miller lines have a Henry born about this time? His middle name may be Jonathan. He names most of his sons with his name as a middle name and they continue it with their children. So maybe his father is a Jonathan. He also lived in Somerset near a Michael, Jacob and John Miller. I haven't been able to connect them but it is possible they might be siblings or at least related. Does any of this fit with any of your Miller lines. Thanks Larry
